20120166601 | Distributed Network Interfaces for Application Cloaking and Spoofing - Systems and methods associated with distributing an application's network interface over nodes of a networking fabric are presented. Nodes of the fabric can operate as interface modules, each taking on a role or responsibility for a portion of the application's network address including IP address, port assignments, or other portions of the network address. Interface modules of the networking nodes can then spoof or cloak the application to provide security against internal or external threats. | 06-28-2012 |
20120131674 | Vector-Based Anomaly Detection - Methods of detecting anomalous behaviors associated with a fabric are presented. A network fabric can comprise many fungible networking nodes, preferably hybrid-fabric apparatus capable of routing general purpose packet data and executing distributed applications. A nominal behavior can be established for the fabric and represented by a baseline vector of behavior metrics. Anomaly detection criteria can be derived as a function of a variation from the baseline vector based on measured vectors of behavior metrics. Nodes in the fabric can provide a status for one or more anomaly criterion, which can be aggregated to determine if an anomalous behavior has occurred, is occurring, or is about to occur. | 05-24-2012 |
20110161527 | Distributed Computing Bus - A distributed computing bus that provides both data transport and ambient computing power is provided. Contemplated buses comprise a network fabric of interconnected networking infrastructure nodes capable of being programmed before or after installation in the field. A fabric manager organizes the fabric into a bus topology communicatively coupling computing elements that exchange payload data using a bus protocol. Nodes within the bus topology operate on the payload data as the data passes through the node on route to its destination. | 06-30-2011 |
20090327446 | Software Application Striping - A distributed computing system comprising networking infrastructure and methods of executing an application on the distributed computing system is presented. Interconnected networking nodes offering available computing resources form a network fabric. The computing resources can be allocated from the networking nodes, including available processing cores or memory elements located on the networking nodes. A software application can be stored in a system memory comprising memory elements allocated from the nodes. The software application can be disaggregated into a plurality of executable portions that are striped across the allocated processing cores by assigning each core a portion to execute. When the cores are authenticated with respect to their portions, the cores are allowed to execute the portions by accessing the system memory over the fabric. While executing the software application, the networking nodes having the allocated cores concurrently forward packets through the fabric. | 12-31-2009 |
20090316619 | Surface-Space Managed Network Fabric - A managed surface-space network fabric is presented. The surface-space network fabric can include a spaced-based network fabric and a surface-based network fabric integrated together to form a single fabric managed by a global fabric manager. The global fabric manager cooperates with other fabric managers local to each fabric to establish a communication topology among all the nodes of the fabric. Preferred topologies include paths from any port on a node to any other port on another node in the fabric. The surface-space fabric, and each individual fabric, can function as a distributed core fabric operating as a single, coherent device. | 12-24-2009 |

20090157860 | DISAGGREGATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT - Systems and methods for disaggregated management of a network fabric are presented. Network elements composing the network fabric can operate as a fabric manager with respect to one or more management functions while also continuing to operate as a communication conduit among hosts using the fabric. The roles or responsibilities of a fabric manager can migrate from one network element to another to preserve management coherency as well as to secure management of the network. Additionally, fabric managers communicate with the network fabric through one or more management channels. | 06-18-2009 |
