Abstract: A network edge device may be placed at a location to participate in a VLAN using a specific VLAN ID without expressly programming the network edge device to use that specific VLAN ID. The network edge device is connected to a network to receive ingressing frames from the network and to send egressing frames to the network. The network edge device copies a specific VLAN ID from an ingressing VLAN message into memory and subsequently reads the specific VLAN ID from the memory for use in tagging frames egressing from the network edge device with the specific VLAN ID so that the egressing frames are VLAN conformant. The network edge device may communicate with non-edge devices at the same location as the network edge device.

Abstract: Dynamically allocating workloads to a fixed number of CPU resources within a compute platform. Determining whether a workload should be in a Dedicated Class of workloads and assigned to a dedicated CPU resource or in a Shared Class of workloads that is handled by a set of at least one shared CPU resource, wherein a shared CPU resource may service more than one workload. The determination may be made based on a comparison of a parameter from two samples of a parameter taken at different times. The determination may be made using metadata associated with the workload. The determination may be made repeatedly so that some workloads may change from being in the Dedicated Class to the Shared Class or from the Shared Class to the Dedicated Class. High availability virtual network functions may be handled economically by deeming the failover workloads to be in the Shared Class.
