Abstract
Examples described herein relate to a network interface device comprising a packet transmission scheduler. In some examples, the packet transmission scheduler is to: perform packet transmit arbitration among nodes, wherein based on a first node of the nodes having transmission paused by flow control, the perform packet transmit arbitration among nodes comprises retain relative priority of a packet departure time for the first node with respect to a second packet departure time associated with a second node of the nodes during a duration of flow control. In some examples, retaining relative priority of a packet departure time for the first node with respect to a second packet departure time associated with a second node of the nodes during a duration of flow control comprises adjust the packet departure time and the second packet departure time to stay within a time window but not rollover.
