A gateway network device may establish secure connections to a plurality of remote network devices using tunneling protocols to distribute to the remote network devices multimedia content received from one or more content providers. The consumption of the multimedia content may originally be restricted to local network associated with the gateway network device. The secure connections may be set up using L2TP protocol, and the L2TP tunneling connections may be secured using IPSec protocol. Use of multimedia content may be restricted based on DRM policies of the content provider. DRM policies may be implemented using DTCP protocol, which may restrict use of the multimedia content based on roundtrip times and/or IP subnetting. Each content provider may use one or more VLAN identifiers during communication of the multimedia content to the gateway network device, and the gateway network device may associate an additional VLAN identifier with each secure connection.

Network Interface Controller (NIC) logic may receive a packet comprising a routing parameter indicating a service or cost to be utilized in processing the packet. The NIC logic may determine a selected virtual machine (VM) running on a network device to process the packet according to the routing parameter. The NIC logic may communicate the packet across a network after the packet has been processed by the selected virtual VM. Or, the NIC logic may initialize a VM in the network device to process the packet according to the routing parameter. The NIC logic may receive multiple packets and determine a second selected VM or initialize a second VM to process the multiple packets according to the respective routing parameters of the multiple packets. The routing parameters may indicate device capabilities, service class, quality measurements, latency, power usage or any combination thereof.

Aspects of a method and system for traffic management via virtual machine migration include detecting an abnormal traffic pattern in traffic communicated by a first virtual machine that utilizes a first set of network resources. Responsive to the detection of the abnormal pattern, a second virtual machine that utilizes a second set of network resources may be initialized. The second virtual machine may take over functions performed by the first virtual machine and initialization of the second virtual machine is based on an analysis of the traffic. The second virtual machine may be initialized utilizing stored virtual machine sate information in instances that the abnormal traffic is a result of a malicious attack. The second virtual machine may be initialized utilizing current virtual machine state information in instances that the abnormal traffic is not a result of a malicious attack.

The virtual machines and the hypervisor may be distributed across a plurality of network devices. A sub-hypervisor may be configured within each of the virtual machines utilizing the hypervisor. Load information of the network devices may be communicated to the hypervisor utilizing the sub-hypervisors. The virtual machines may include threads, may be load balanced utilizing the hypervisor, dynamically configured utilizing the hypervisor based on changes in the network devices, and scaled by the distribution of the virtual machines across the network devices. Information from the processing of data may be received in the virtual machines. The network devices may include a plurality of: servers, switches, routers, racks, blades, mainframes, personal data assistants, smart phones, desktop computers, and/or laptop devices.
摘要:
Latency requirements for Ethernet link partners comprising PHY devices and memory buffers, may be determined for packets pending transmission. Transmission may be interrupted for a first packet having greater latency than a second packet, and the second packet may be transmitted. The second packet may be interrupted for transmission of a third or more packets. Packets are inspected for marks and/or for OSI layer 2 or higher OSI layer information to determine the latency requirements prior to completion of transmission of the first packet. The second packet is transmitted after a first portion of the first packet and/or prior to a second portion. Delimiters are inserted among the first and/or second packets for interrupting transmission. A PHY layer, MAC layer and/or higher OSI layer of the second link partner may receive, buffer and/or parse the packets and/or packet portions and/or may reconstruct the first packet and/or the second packet.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing dynamic arbitration of memory accesses by a CPU and at least one bus master interface module based on, at least in part, monitoring a CPU throttle control signal and monitoring CPU power and performance states, and making decisions based on the monitored parameters. Bus master memory access break events and memory read and write accesses are also monitored as part of the arbitration process in accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention. An arbitration (ARB) module performs the dynamic arbitration. A CPU throttle control module generates the CPU throttle control signal, indicating when the CPU is idle, and also monitors and outputs the CPU power and performance states. A memory controller (MC) module controls accesses to the memory subsystem based on, at least in part, the dynamic arbitration performed by the dynamic arbitration module.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing adaptive memory power management in a system employing a CPU and a memory subsystem. A CPU throttle control (THR) module generates a CPU throttle control signal indicating when the CPU is idle. A memory controller (MC) module generates memory power management signals based on at least one of the CPU throttle control signal, memory read/write signals, memory access break events, and bus master access requests. Certain portions of the memory subsystem are powered down in response to the memory power management signals. Memory power management is performed on a time segment by time segment basis to achieve efficient power management of the memory subsystem during CPU run time.
