In telecommunications, a network interface device (NID; also known by several other names) is a device that serves as the demarcation point between the carrier's local loop and the customer's premises wiring. Outdoor telephone NIDs also provide the subscriber with access to the station wiring and serve as a convenient test point for verification of loop integrity and of the subscriber’s inside wiring.

Selective congestion notification by a network interface device

Examples described herein relate to a switch, when operational, that is configured to receive in a packet an indicator of number of remaining bytes in a flow and to selectively send a congestion message based on a fullness level of a buffer and indication of remainder of the flow. In some examples, the indicator is received in an Internet Protocol version 4 consistent Options header field or Internet Protocol version 6 consistent Flow label field. In some examples, the congestion message comprises one or more of: an Explicit Congestion Control Notification (ECN), priority-based flow control (PFC), and / or in-band telemetry (INT). In some examples, to selectively send a congestion message to a transmitter based on a fullness level of a buffer that stored the packet and the number of remaining bytes in flow, the switch is to determine whether the buffer is large enough to store the remaining bytes in the flow.
