Abstract: In an example embodiment, a new qualifier is added to members in a Fiber Channel zone to specify whether each member is a target or initiator and in another embodiment a time-range attribute is added to a zone in the zoneset. When the zoneset is applied the number of ACL entries that must be programmed is reduced from k×(k−1) entries to 2(k−1) entries for a zone with k members where k−1 members are of one type (e.g. initiators) and one of the members is of a different type (e.g., a tape device). The time-range attribute is enforced by zone server software and enhances security by, for example, limiting access to sensitive data to specified times. In another embodiment, an incremental zoneset activation protocol is implemented where a hash of a zoneset is created by a switch updating the zoneset and the hash and ID of the switch updating the zoneset are sent to all other switches in the fabric when the zoneset is propagated. The hash and switch ID are stored in persistent storage at all switches in the fabric. When a target zoneset is updated by a source switch only the incremental change is propagated to other switches in the fabric along with the hash and switch ID of the target zoneset. Each switch checks a received hash and switch ID against its stored hash and switch ID to assure that the stored local zoneset is the same as the target zoneset before applying the incremental change.

Abstract translation: 在示例实施例中，将新限定词添加到光纤通道区域中的成员以指定每个成员是目标还是发起者，并且在另一实施例中，将时间范围属性添加到区域集中的区域。 当应用区域组时，必须编程的ACL条目的数目从k×（k-1）个条目减少到具有k个成员的一个类型的k个成员的区域的2（k-1）个条目（例如 启动器），并且其中一个成员是不同类型（例如，磁带设备）。 时间范围属性由区域服务器软件实施，并通过例如将访问敏感数据限制到指定时间来增强安全性。 在另一个实施例中，实现增量区域集激活协议，其中由更新区域集合的交换机创建区域集合的散列，并且当区域组传播时，更新区域集合的交换机的ID被发送到结构中的所有其他交换机 。 散列和交换机ID存储在结构中所有交换机的持久存储器中。 当目标区域集由源交换机更新时，增量更改将传播到结构中的其他交换机以及目标区段集的散列和交换机ID。 每个交换机根据其存储的散列和交换机ID检查接收的散列和交换机ID，以确保在应用增量更改之前，存储的本地区域集与目标区段集相同。

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for a device in a network to receive information configured to indicate a control plane traffic load level for one or more server devices that are configured to manage traffic for messaging and presence clients communicating via a messaging and presence protocol. The control plane traffic is associated with the messaging and presence protocol. A determination is made as to when the control plane traffic load level has become unbalanced among the two or more server devices and in response to determining that the control plane traffic load level has become unbalanced, sending a transfer message to one or more clients comprising information configured to initiate migration of one or more clients from a server device that is relatively overloaded to a server device that is relatively underloaded in order to balance the control plane traffic load level among the two or more server devices.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for improving the configuration, management, and distribution of quality of service information in a fibre channel fabric using zoning mechanisms. Configuration of Quality of Service (QoS) information is made easy by using zones as a classifier for flows. QoS information is included in zone objects, thereby using the existing zone distribution mechanism to distribute QoS information. Devices not part of any zones are placed automatically in the default zone with a default QoS priority level. QoS information for a particular packet is available as soon as the zoning information is obtained.

Abstract: The Switch includes a port configured to receive a command frame when installed in a switching Fabric. The frame identifies a source device and a destination device in the Switching Fabric, a command, and a read/write flag which indicates if the identified source intends to exercise read-only or write access to the destination device. The Switch also includes a processor coupled to the port. The processor is configured to trap the frame and prevent it from reaching the defined destination device in the switching Fabric if both the source and destination devices are in a read-only zone and the flag indicates that the source intends to write to the destination device. In this manner, read-only zones can be implemented in the Switching Fabric.
