    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for selecting a path to use in transferring a virtual computing instance such as a virtual machine (VM), across data centers. In one embodiment, throughput and throttling information are sampled (e.g., per second) when VMs are transferred from a source data center to a destination data center, and the sampled information is used to construct histograms that provide performance profiles of the VM transfers. Such histogram information across a number of VM transfers can then be mined to determine trends. In turn, trends determined from historical histogram information may be extrapolated into the future to predict performance of a subsequent VM transfer operation and to select a path and/or destination storage and host pair to use for the VM transfer operation.

    Abstract: A node failure recovery tool includes an interface and one or more processors. The interface is configured to receive one or more portions of state information from a first node, each of the one or more portions of state information comprising data corresponding to a user and an action and an indication of whether the portion of state information is related to one or more other portions of state information. The one or more processors are configured to determine a time corresponding to each of the one or more portions of state information and determine that the first node has crashed. The one or more processors are further configured to determine the portion of state information that was last received from the first node and send, to the first node, the portion of state information that was last received from the first node.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring a network includes generating a first receiving sequence number representing a first location within a first ordered sequence of a number of data packets as received by a receiving device, and extracting a first transmission sequence number representing a second location within a second ordered sequence of the number of data packets as transmitted by a transmitting device. The method further includes generating a second receiving sequence number representing a third location within the first ordered sequence of the number of data packets, extracting a second transmission sequence number representing a fourth location within the second ordered sequence of the number of data packets. The method further includes generating a measurement of network transmission based at least on the first receiving sequence number, the first transmission sequence number, the second receiving sequence number, and the second transmission sequence number.
