摘要： In a particular embodiment of the present invention, a particular node in an ad hoc network is configured with a desirable number of neighbor nodes and equipped with a transmission power level hierarchy. The particular node may adjust a transmission power level to a different level in the transmission power level hierarchy, based on a number of responses received from neighbor nodes after the particular node broadcasts a request at current transmission power level. This adjustment process is repeated until the particular node acquires a desirable number of neighbor nodes.

摘要： In a particular embodiment of the present invention, a forwarding node in an ad hoc network collects sets of node information pertaining to its neighbor nodes. An example of a type of node information is history information that indicates previous time periods during which a neighbor node has been available for communication. Other types of node information may include proximity information that indicates how far a neighbor node is from the forwarding node. In selecting a routing path, the forwarding node takes into account information collected in the sets of node information. A routing path can be selected to include a neighbor node having the highest probability to be available for communication. Additionally or alternatively, a routing path may be selected to minimize the power transmission level required for the forwarding node to forward data packets.

摘要： A method for processing a packet that includes receiving a packet for a target, classifying the packet, and sending the packet to a receive ring based on the classification. The method also includes obtaining an identifier (ID) associated with the target based on the classification, and sending a request for virtual memory that includes the ID. Furthermore, the method includes determining, using the ID, whether the target has exceeded a virtual memory allocation associated with the target. In addition, the method includes allocating the virtual memory, storing the packet in the virtual memory, and updating the virtual memory allocation associated with the target to reflect the allocation of the virtual memory, all if the target does not exceed the virtual memory allocation. The method further includes waiting until the target is not exceeding the virtual memory allocation if the target exceeds the virtual memory allocation.

摘要： A method for routing a packet. The method includes receiving the packet from a first network into a network interface card (NIC), where the NIC is operatively connected to a host and the host includes a first virtual network stack and a second virtual network stack. The method further includes sending the packet to a first virtual network stack, where the first virtual network stack includes a first filter, a first network layer, and a first transport layer. In addition, the first filter, the first network layer, and the first transport layer are isolated from the second virtual network stack. If the packet is permitted through the first filter in the first virtual network stack, then the packet is sent to a first virtual NIC.

摘要： A method for testing a network topology. The method includes obtaining the network topology, where the network topology includes a number of nodes connected by at least one link. The method further includes instantiating a number of containers corresponding to the nodes, instantiating a number of virtual network stacks, and instantiating at least one virtual switch corresponding to the at least one link. The containers are subsequently connected to the virtual network stacks using the at least one virtual switch. At least one of the virtual network stacks is then configured to send and receive packets. Finally, the network topology is tested by sending a packet through at least one of the plurality of virtual network stacks and the at least one virtual switch, wherein a result of the testing is used to validate the network topology.
