    摘要: The present invention is directed to a system for and a method of selecting a combination of resources for transmitting data from a remote site to a destination site. The method comprises generating a list of combinations of resources at a regional site and transmitting the list to the remote site. Data is transmitted from the remote site to the regional site using each combination of resources and statistics for each transmission are stored. Metrics, based on the application at hand, are computed for each set of statistics corresponding to each transmission, and a preferred combination of resources is selected at the regional site based on the metrics. The regional site then transmits to the remote site information corresponding to the preferred combination of resources. The remote site is then configured to transmit data to the destination site using the selected combination of resources. Resources include links with a specified bandwidth, VPN and GRE tunnels, and routers configured to perform MPLS switching, type-of-service routing, and source routing.

    摘要: Network switches that are controlled by a controller server may contain ports through which network packets are received and forwarded. An architect may configure the controller server to create virtual switches. Each virtual switch may be formed from a subset of the ports of the network switches. The architect may assign administrators to the virtual switches. The administrators may configure the virtual switches. An administrator may use a command line interface to configure a virtual switch. The administrator may use commands such as a show port command, an access list command, a show access list command, and a membership rule command to manage the virtual switch. The controller server may prevent the administrator from logging on to virtual switches that have been assigned to other administrators.

    摘要: A network of switches that forwards network packets between end hosts may be controlled by a controller. The controller may maintain information that identifies subsets of the end hosts that are associated with respective broadcast domains. The controller may use network topology information to determine which of the switches are coupled in a forwarding tree formed from network paths between the end hosts of a broadcast domain. The controller may be used to configure the switches with an identifier that identifies which broadcast domain is associated with each subset of end hosts. The controller may configure switches of a given forwarding tree that are coupled to end hosts of an associated broadcast domain to modify broadcast network packets received from the end hosts with the identifier and to forward the modified broadcast network packets along the forwarding tree exclusively to end hosts of the associated broadcast domain.

    摘要: A network of switches that forwards network packets between end hosts may be controlled by a controller. The controller may maintain information that identifies subsets of the end hosts that are associated with respective broadcast domains. The controller may configure the switches in the network to identify broadcast network packets and to forward the broadcast network packets to the controller. The controller may identify which broadcast domain is associated with a received broadcast network packet based on information such as source information retrieved from the broadcast network packet. The controller may identify switches that are coupled to the end hosts of a broadcast domain associated with the received broadcast network packet. The controller may forward the broadcast network packet to the identified switches through network control paths and may direct the identified switches to forward the broadcast network packet to end hosts of the associated broadcast domain.
