A system for consolidating TCP ports. In response to initiating a connection to a hidden port via a network, a TCP in TCP packet is created. Then, the TCP in TCP packet is sent to the hidden port via the network via a network visible port.

Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for improved granularity of a response-request communication on a networked computer system. One example embodiment includes receiving the request-response communication by the networked computer system, and associating the request-response communication with a port, having a nodelay setting, from a set of ports on the networked computer system. Further, the example embodiment includes enabling, based upon the associating, the nodelay setting upon connection of the request-response communication with the port. Further still, the example embodiment includes sending, in accordance with the enabling, the request-response communication to a destination in communication with the networked computer system. In addition, further example embodiments include configuring the ports on the networked computer system with nodelay values indicating whether a particular port is assigned nodelay or no nodelay for a request portion or request portion of a request-response communication connecting to that particular port.

An approach is provided to improve network efficiency. A send segment size, such as a maximum segment size (MSS), that corresponds to data segments being sent to a receiver over a computer network. A data block is identified in a send buffer and the data block includes more than one data segments. Based on the determined send segment size, all but a remaining data segment of the data segments are sent to the receiver. The sent data segments are each the determined send segment size and the remaining data segment is smaller than the send segment size. The remaining data segment is sent to the receiver in response to identifying that the remaining data segment is a portion of the data block.

A dynamically-enforceable application-controlled quasi-reliable extension to TCP permits a client application to dynamically set a percent loss tolerance for data transmission reliability through network input/output system calls to the TCP, thereby programming the transport layer to optimistically acknowledge non-critical missing frames. The reliability requirement can be dynamically set within TCP to the level of reliability required for specific data frames within the data stream during the data transfer. Based on this loss tolerance specified, the TCP layer makes a determination whether to trigger a retransmission or continue delivering out-of-order frames to the application. A forced acknowledgement frame is sent for each missing packet until the number missing packets causing forced acknowledgments within the current receive buffer frame exceeds the loss tolerance. This process avoids needless retransmissions and permits the TCP data flow and sliding window to advance uninterrupted, thereby providing substantial performance benefits to network throughput.

Provided are techniques for active SEA learning about a client LPAR MAC addresses via address resolution protocol (ARP) packets received on a virtual interface (of the active SEA). Any new client MAC addresses learned on the active SEA are sent to the inactive SEA via a control channel. When SEA failover happens, as the previously inactive SEA is about to become active, it will first send out RARP (reverse ARP) packets with the client MAC addresses as the source MAC addresses respectively. This effectively informs the switch connected to the previously inactive SEA that these client MAC addresses are to be routed through this switch port; the client MAC addresses saved on the switch connected to the previously active SEA are cleared as a result.

In a method for regulating network bandwidth in a virtualized computer environment, a computer having a hypervisor program receives a request from a first virtual client to transmit data. In response, the computer transfers the data from a memory of the first virtual client to a memory of a virtual server. The computer receives an error notification from a shared virtual network adapter of the virtual server, indicative of insufficient network bandwidth available to transmit the data. In response, the computer notifies the first virtual client that insufficient network bandwidth is available to transmit the data.

In accordance with the invention, it has been recognized that for an application that is of a particular type and has certain characteristics, a benefit can be achieved by presenting multiple files to the application in a particular pre-planned or pre-specified order. Accordingly, an embodiment of the invention is directed to a method in a data processing system, wherein information pertaining to multiple data files is located in a container, and a plurality of applications of different types are each disposed to request a presentation of the files. Responsive to a request from a given application for presentation of the files, it is determined that the given application is of a particular type. The method further includes specifying an order for the presentation of the files, wherein the specified order is pre-selected to achieve an objective associated with applications of the given type. The files are then presented to the given application in the specified order.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for processing packets in a network layer. A packet is received for transmission in which the packet includes a destination address. A routing entry for the destination address is identified. A determination is made as to whether a flag indicating the packet is to be broadcast has been set in the routing entry. Header information is placed in the packet in which the header information indicates that the packet is a broadcast packet in response to the flag being set.
