Information of the optimized priority queue level of the flow is sent to at each of the switches. | 10-27-2011 |
20110261831 | Dynamic Priority Queue Level Assignment for a Network Flow - Forwarding a flow in a network includes receiving the flow at a switch, determining an optimized priority queue level of the flow at the switch, and forwarding the flow via the switch using an optimized priority queue level of the flow at the switch. The flow passes through a plurality of switches, including the switch, in the network, and the optimized priority queue level of the flow at the switch is different from a priority queue level of the flow at a second switch of the plurality of switches. The second switch routes the flow at the second switch using the different priority queue level for the flow. | 10-27-2011 |
20110268118 | METHOD FOR ROUTING DATA PACKETS USING VLANS - In a method for routing packets between a plurality of switches in a computer network, in which paths between the plurality of switches are identified as a plurality of virtual local area networks (VLANs) stored in a balancing table, a packet to be routed from a source switch to a destination switch is received. In addition, a VLAN is selected from the plurality of VLANs in the balancing table to route the packet through the computer network and the packet is routed through the selected VLAN. | 11-03-2011 |
20110270987 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOCATING BANDWIDTH - According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a system for allocating bandwidth in a network to a plurality of traffic classes. Each traffic class has a first bandwidth allocation. The system comprises a network manager which is configured to determine a bandwidth utilization for each traffic class, to determine an amount of unused network bandwidth, to calculate second bandwidth allocations for each traffic class by allocating a share of any determined unused network bandwidth between at least some of the traffic classes, and to update, in accordance with the second bandwidth allocations, a routing table accessible by routers in the network. | 11-03-2011 |
20110273988 | Distributing decision making in a centralized flow routing system - Local rules for managing flows devolved from a central controller are received at a switch. The central controller determines a global set of rules for managing flows. The switch receives a packet from a flow from a network and determines whether a metric for the flow satisfies a dynamic condition to trigger a metric report to the central controller. In response to a determination that the metric for the flow at the switch satisfies the dynamic condition to trigger a metric report to the central controller, the switch sends a metric report to the central controller, and the switch then receives an instruction to manage the flow from the central controller. In response to a determination that the metric for the flow at the switch does not satisfy the dynamic condition to trigger the metric report to the central controller, the switch manages the flow using the local rules for managing flows. | 11-10-2011 |
20120014265 | DATA PACKET ROUTING - According to one example of the present invention, there is provided a method of routing data packets to a plurality of packet processors in a computer network. The method comprising obtaining workload data from the packet processors, determining a workload distribution across the packet processors, and updating a balancing table used by a switching element in the network based on the determined workload. | 01-19-2012 |
20120124167 | TEACHING A NETWORK DEVICE USING UNSOLICITED TEACHING MESSAGES - Illustrated is a system and method to generate a teaching message with a host device address that impersonates a device source address, the impersonation to instruct an additional network device as to the host device address. It further include a transmitter to transmit the teaching message to the additional network device. It also includes traversing a forwarding table to identify an additional network device that has yet to receive a teaching message since an expiration of a predefined threshold value, the teaching message to relate to a source device. It also includes a transmitter to transmit a teaching message to the additional network device. | 05-17-2012 |
20120155264 | Dynamic Balancing Priority Queue Assignments for Quality-of-Service Network Flows - A priority queue assignment technique for quality-of-service (“QoS”) network flows in a network is provided. A network path is determined for an incoming flow including a plurality of network switches associated, with a plurality of priority queue levels. A priority queue level is determined for the incoming flow for at least one of the plurality of network switches in the network path based on priority queue levels of existing flows. The priority queue level of the incoming flow is adjusted, to dynamically balance flows over the plurality of priority queue levels for at least one of the plurality of network switches in the network path based on quality-of-service (“QoS”) requirements associated with the incoming flow. | 06-21-2012 |

20140064278 | MODIFICATION OR ADDITION TO FORWARDING TABLE BASED ON ADDRESS - Embodiments herein relate to addition or modification to a forwarding table based on an address. A first packet having a source address and a location value may be received. The source address includes a source of the first packet and the location value indicates at least part of a route along a network to the source address. The forwarding table is not modified or no new entry is added to the forwarding table, if the forwarding table does not include the source address. | 03-06-2014 |
20140112137 | ROUTING ENCAPSULATED DATA PACKETS ONTO SELECTED VLANS - A system and method are provided to route packets in a data center network. Individual packets are encapsulated at an edge of the data center network, so that each encapsulated packet includes a set of header fields, such as a tenant identifier. For each encapsulated packet, a hash class is determined from the set of header fields. A routing virtual local area network (VLAN) is selected for the packet based on the tenant identifier and the hash class. | 04-24-2014 |
