20100199275 | SERVER SWITCH INTEGRATION IN A VIRTUALIZED SYSTEM - A switch, a system and operational method for packet switching between virtual machines running in a server and a network. The server comprises a switch with swappable, virtual ports. The switch routes packets to and from the various virtual machines resident in the server memory. | 08-05-2010 |
20110007746 | Establishing Network Quality of Service for a Virtual Machine - A system and method for implementing a VM to identify a data packet for transmission, the data packet including a QoS the data packet is to receive as compared to another QoS that another data packet is to receive. The system and method further includes a SNIC to pull the data packet from the VM based upon the QoS the data packet is to receive. The system and method may also include a link scheduler module to transmit the data packet based upon the QoS the data packet is to receive. The system and method may also include a receiver to receive a management instruction from a network management device, the management instruction to dictate the QoS the data packet is to receive based upon a SLA. | 01-13-2011 |
20110060851 | Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Using A DPI Core - Illustrated is a system for performing Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that includes a core to prepare a data packet for transmission. Further, the system includes a memory controller to direct the data packet to a DPI core. Additionally, the system includes a Network Interface Card to receive the data packet for transmission after DPI is performed on the data packet by the DPI core. The system includes a Direct Memory Management module to update a descriptor that references a received data packet stored in an Operating System buffer. Moreover, the system includes an Input/Output Memory Management Unit to direct the descriptor to be stored in a DPI memory. Additionally, the system includes an interrupt controller to transmit an interrupt to the DPI core to such that the DPI core retrieves the descriptor from the DPI memory and performs DPI on the data packet stored in the OS buffer. | 03-10-2011 |
20110125949 | Routing packet from first virtual machine to second virtual machine of a computing device - A networking packet is to be sent from a first virtual machine of a computing device to a second virtual machine of the computing device. A hardware network interface controller (NIC) of the computing device is to determine whether the networking packet is to be routed from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine in accordance with a first approach or a second approach, based upon one or more considerations regarding a state of the computing device. The hardware NIC is then to control routing of the networking packet in accordance with the first approach or the second approach. | 05-26-2011 |
20110188372 | MINIMIZING PATHOLOGICAL FLOODING OF A NETWORK - In a method for minimizing pathological flooding of a network using a destination node, a packet is received from a source node at the destination node. The packet is transmitted from the source node to the destination node along a path. A determination is made by a node whether the packet indicates a possibility of pathological flooding. In response to a determination that the packet indicates a possibility of pathological flooding, a dummy packet is forwarded along the path to the source node. | 08-04-2011 |

20130250802 | REDUCING CABLING COSTS IN A DATACENTER NETWORK - A datacenter network, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for reducing cabling costs in the datacenter network are provided. The datacenter network is represented by a network topology that interconnects a plurality of network elements and a physical topology that is organized into a plurality of physical elements and physical units. A network design module assigns network elements to the plurality of physical elements and physical units based on a hierarchical partitioning of the physical topology and a matching hierarchical partitioning of the network topology that reduces costs of cables used to interconnect the network elements in the physical topology. | 09-26-2013 |
20130272133 | ASSIGNING SELECTED GROUPS TO ROUTING STRUCTURES - Selected ones of multiple groups of network entities are assigned to corresponding routing structures, where each of the routing structures defines a set of paths through a network among network entities of a corresponding one of the groups. The assigning considers available multicast resources in communication nodes in the network, and a criterion relating to reducing overall cost in the assignment of the selected groups to the corresponding routing structures. | 10-17-2013 |
20140115584 | SCALABLE MULTI-TENANT NETWORK ARCHITECTURE FOR VIRTUALIZED DATACENTERS - A scalable, multi-tenant network architecture for a virtualized datacenter is provided. The network architecture includes a network having a plurality of servers connected to a plurality of switches. The plurality of servers hosts a plurality of virtual interfaces for a plurality of tenants. A configuration repository is connected to the network and each server in the plurality of servers has a network agent hosted therein. The network agent encapsulates packets for transmission across the network from a source virtual interface to a destination virtual interface in the plurality of virtual interfaces for a tenant in the plurality of tenants. The packets are encapsulated with information identifying and locating the destination virtual interface, and the information is interpreted by switches connected to the source virtual interface and the destination virtual interface. | 04-24-2014 |
20150063771 | Replaceable Modular Optical Connection Assembly - Connectors of a first removable modular optical connection assembly, having a first predefined arrangement of optical signal conduits, are connected to respective connectors on a support structure that are optically connected to corresponding devices. The first modular optical connection assembly is replaceable with a second modular optical connection assembly having a second, different predefined arrangement of optical signal conduits, to change a topology of a network. | 03-05-2015 |
