Abstract:
A master network device determines to transmit data from the master network device to a plurality of client network devices of a network. In one example, the master network device can generate a data frame including a payload with a plurality of symbols. The payload may include at least one symbol allocated for each of the client network devices. The plurality of symbols may be arranged in a predefined pattern in the payload. In another example, the master network device may generate a data frame including a payload with one or more symbols. Each symbol may include a plurality of frequency carriers, and may include at least one frequency carrier allocated for each of the client network devices. The plurality of frequency carriers can be allotted to the client network devices according to a partitioning pattern. The master network device then transmits the data frame to the client network devices.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, methods and systems for integrated resource allocation and loading balancing are provided. A global resource allocator receives usage information of resources in a cloud computing system. The usage information is associated with a plurality of accounts and consumer operations pairs on servers of the cloud computing system. For selected account and consumer operation pairs associated with a particular resource, allocation targets are determined and communicated to the corresponding server of the selected account and consumer operation pairs. The servers use the resource based on the allocation targets. A load balancer receives the usage information the resource and the allocation targets. The allocation targets indicate a load by the selected account and consumer operation pairs on their corresponding servers. The load balancer performs a load balancing operation to locate a server with a capacity to process the allocated target of the selected account and consumer operation pairs.
Abstract:
Instead of utilizing a centralized server or hardware (routers/gateways) to enforce connectivity policy restrictions, the policy connectivity restrictions for media session traffic are enforced by an endpoint that is involved in the media communication. Based on the policy requirements, the client enforces the policy restrictions by restricting the candidates that may be selected for the establishment of the media path. For example, the enforcement may result in the client selecting a path from available candidates that avoids congested Wide Area Network (WAN) links, avoiding a low bandwidth link, or possibly even failing the communication completely. The clients may also provide periodic updates to the policy server to allow tracking of the utilization of managed WAN links.
Abstract:
Allocation of resources across multiple consumers allows efficient utilization of shared resources. Observed usages of resources by consumers over time intervals are used to determine a total throughput of resources by the consumers. The total throughput of resources is used to determine allocation of resources for a subsequent time interval. The consumers are associated with priorities used to determine their allocations. Minimum and maximum resource guarantees may be associated with consumers. The resource allocation aims to allocate resources based on the priorities of the consumers while aiming to avoid starvation by any consumer. The resource allocation allows efficient usage of network resources in a database storage system storing multiple virtual databases.
Abstract:
A master device coupled to multiple slave devices in a system performs a method of allocating bandwidth. In the method, credits are assigned to each device of a plurality of devices in the system. Bandwidth is allocated among the plurality of devices for high-priority traffic, regardless of the credits. After allocating bandwidth for high-priority traffic, bandwidth is allocated among the plurality of devices based on the credits. A transmission schedule is generated for the plurality of devices based on the allocated bandwidth.
Abstract:
An improved computer system may include a server carrying a computer processor in a Fiber Channel over Convergence Enhanced Ethernet (FCoCEE) network. The system may also include a reservation system in communication with the server that utilizes enhanced transmission selection (ETS) to reserve bandwidth for a priority group by scheduling bandwidth for the priority group based upon a projected workload.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a computer implemented method, computer program product, and system for determining rules for partitioning internet connection bandwidth. In one embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, the computer implemented method includes the steps of identifying static bandwidth partitioning policies that correspond to a cluster of users, wherein the static bandwidth partitioning policies are based on time schedules, quality of service requirements, an amount of internet connection bandwidth paid for by a user, and proportional quotas of internet connection bandwidth, identifying historical bandwidth usage data corresponding to the cluster of users, and determining bandwidth partitioning rules for the cluster of users based on the identified static bandwidth partitioning policies and identified historical bandwidth usage data. In another embodiment, the method further includes the step of applying the determined bandwidth partitioning rules to the cluster of users.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a Multiprotocol Label Switching traffic engineering tunnel establishing method and device. A tunnel establishing method includes: receiving, by a second routing device, an identifier, which is sent by a first routing device, of an MPLS TE tunnel from a first VPN instance to a second VPN instance; acquiring, by the second routing device according to the identifier, path information of the MPLS TE tunnel from the first VPN instance to the second VPN instance; and establishing an MPLS TE tunnel from the second VPN instance to the first VPN instance according to the acquired path information. Therefore, forward and reverse bidirectional tunnels are co-routed or partially co-routed, thereby solving a problem caused by non-co-routing during BFD.
Abstract:
A router is operatively coupled to a plurality of local computers and has one or more connections to a remote computer network for managing one or more data routes between the local computers and the remote computer network. In providing dynamic access to the remote computer network by any of the local computers, one or more of the connection(s) of the router to the remote computer network includes one or more wireless connections independent of the router between the local computers and the remote computer network.
