Abstract:
In some examples, a network switch includes an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) including a Network Packet Counter (NPC), a processing resource, and a memory resource storing machine readable instructions. The instructions can, for example, cause the processing resource to assign, in accordance with instructions received by a Software-Defined Network (SDN) controller, a packet flow rule for certain packets received by the network switch to the NPC; modify, with the NPC, a value for a counter associated with the given packet flow rule for received packets that match the pattern of the given packet flow rule; and apply an action to the received packet in accordance with the flow rule only when the value for the counter is less than a threshold value.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a PCIE switch-based server system, switching method and device. The system includes: an active PCIE switch device, where the active PCIE switch device includes a communication interface and a first PCIE switch module, and the first PCIE switch module includes at least two first PCIE ports; a standby PCIE switch device, where the standby PCIE switch device includes a communication interface and a first PCIE switch module, and the first PCIE switch module includes at least two first PCIE ports; where the communication interface of the active PCIE switch device and the communication interface of the standby PCIE switch device are interconnected, so that the standby PCIE switch device obtains switch network configuration information of the active PCIE switch device through the communication interface of the active PCIE switch device and the communication interface of the standby PCIE switch device. Through the system, the switching method and the device of the present invention, reliability of the system may be improved.
Abstract:
An International Standards Organization (OSI) Layer-2 (Ethernet) Pseudo-wire (OSI Layer-1 type service) appliance, method, system and hub service is disclosed. The method and system facilitate the rapid deployment of Layer-2 Pseudo-wires over unknown and untrusted Internet Protocol (IP) networks. The method and system facilitate the fluid edge of corporate networks and any situation where the Layer-3 network addresses cannot be changed.
Abstract:
A system and method can rout traffic between distinct subnets in a network environment. A router that connects the distinct subnets, such as InfiniBand (IB) subnets, can receive a list of destinations that the router is responsible for routing one or more packets to. Then, the router can generate a random number based on a source local identifier (LID) and a destination LID associated with the one or more packets, and use a modulo based hash to select one router port from a plurality of output router ports of the router.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the reliable switching of synchronization messages in a distributed computer system consisting of a number of node computers. In said method the management of a transparent clock conforming to IEEE Standard 1588 is supported and a switching unit consists of four separate FCUs.
