    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a system, which provides service switching in a datacenter environment. The system can include a service switching gateway, which can identify a service tag associated with a received packet. During operation, the service switching gateway determines a source client, a requested service, or both for the packet based on the service tag, identifies a corresponding service portal based on the service tag, and forwards the packet toward the service portal. The service switching gateway can optionally maintain a mapping between the service tag and one or more of: a source client, a required service, the service portal, and a tunnel encapsulation. The service switching gateway can encapsulate the packet based on an encapsulation mechanism supported by the service portal and forward the packet based on the mapping.

    Abstract: A physical unidirectional communication apparatus and method intended to utilize a structure that exploits an electrical signal by which data cannot be transmitted and to guarantee the reliability of data transmission via a transmission method that uses the structure. The physical unidirectional communication apparatus includes a unidirectional data transmission line, a data reception status transmission line, an internal network connection system unit for performing communication with an internal network transmission host and transmitting transmission data to an external network connection system unit through the unidirectional data transmission line, and the external network connection system unit for performing communication with an external network reception host, receiving the transmission data from the internal network connection system unit, generating reception status information of the transmission data, and transmitting the reception status information to the internal network connection system unit through the data reception status transmission line.
