Abstract:
Distributed data structures in a software defined networking (SDN) environment is disclosed. One example is a system including at least one processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor to access a tree data structure located at a central node in the SDN environment, retrieve, at a local node of the network, a sub-tree of the data structure, the sub-tree determined based on a management policy associated with the local node or the central node, and cache sub-trees of the data structure at respective local nodes to generate a distributed data structure in the environment.
Abstract:
Identifying a component within an application executed in a network includes obtaining a traffic matrix, the traffic matrix defining a rate for which packets of data are exchanged between VMs corresponding to an application, analyzing the traffic matrix to identify VMs within a component, modifying the traffic matrix to create a modified traffic matrix, and defining, for the application, a tenant application graph (TAG) model based on the modified traffic matrix.
