Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for managing connected data transfer sessions in a computing network. A controller included in the computing network can monitor connected data transfer sessions to determine whether a predetermined threshold has been met or exceeded and, if so, terminate at least one connected data transfer session in the computing network. The threshold can include a threshold number of connected data communication sessions and/or a threshold amount of resources utilized by the connected data communication sessions. The controller can terminate connected data transfer sessions until the total number of connected data communication sessions and/or threshold amount of resources falls below the threshold.
Abstract:
An example method for co-operative load sharing and redundancy in distributed service chains is provided and includes deriving a service chain comprising a plurality of services in a distributed virtual switch (DVS) network environment, where a first service node provides a first portion of a specific service in the plurality of services to a packet traversing the network, and a second service node provides a second portion of the specific service to the packet, and configuring service forwarding tables at virtual Ethernet Modules associated with respective service nodes in the service chain. In a specific embodiment, the first service node and the second service node provide substantially identical service functions to the packet, wherein the specific service comprises the service functions. In various embodiments, each service node tags each packet to indicate a service completion history of service functions performed on the packet at the service node.
