Abstract: The present disclosure generally discloses packet processing offload support capabilities for supporting packet processing offload. The packet processing offload support capabilities may be configured to support general and flexible packet processing offload at an end host by leveraging a processing device (e.g., a smart network interface card (sNIC) or other suitable processing device) added to the end host to support offloading of various packet processing functions from the hypervisor of the end host to the processing device added to the end host. The packet processing offload support capabilities may be configured to support packet processing offload by including, within the end host, a visualization switch and a packet processing offload agent which may be configured to cooperate to transparently offload at least a portion of the packet processing functions of the end host from the hypervisor of the end host to an sNIC of the end host while keeping the existing management plane and control plane interfaces of the data center unmodified.

Abstract: An apparatus may implement an ad hoc service switch to establish an ad hoc link between ad hoc devices, such that the apparatus is a transparent node in an ad hoc link between the ad hoc devices. The apparatus may implement rule-based control of at least one ad hoc device, based on processing a data packet received from an ad hoc device via the ad hoc link. Rule-based control may include performing at least one operation of selectively forwarding the data packet, selectively inhibiting the data packet from being forwarded, modifying the data packet, and generating and transmitting a new data packet. The apparatus may establish the ad hoc link via an initial ad hoc link between the apparatus and the first device, a network communication link between the apparatus and an external apparatus, and an ad hoc link between the external apparatus and the second device.

Abstract: A distribution and scheduling system for advertisements that targets ads to users and maximizes service-provider revenue without having full knowledge of user-profile information. Each user device stores a user profile and is pre-loaded with a set of ads that could possibly be shown during a timeslot. Each user device selects and displays an ad based on the user profile but does not identify the selected ad to the service provider. Instead, the user devices provide perturbed user-profile information in the form of Boolean vectors, which the service provider uses in conjunction with a guaranteed-approximation online algorithm to estimate the number of users that saw a particular ad. Thus, the service provider can charge advertisers for the number of times their ads are viewed, without knowing the users' profiles or which ads were viewed by individual users, and users can view the targeted ads while maintaining privacy from the service provider.

Abstract: A capability is provided for providing transparent cloud computing with a virtualized network infrastructure. A method for enabling use of a resource of a data center as an extension of a customer network includes receiving, at a forwarding element (FE), a packet intended for a virtual machine hosted at an edge domain of the data center, determining a VLAN ID of the VLAN for the customer network in the edge domain, updating the packet to include the VLAN ID of the VLAN for the customer network in the edge domain, and propagating the updated packet from the FE toward virtual machine. The edge domain supports a plurality of VLANs for a respective plurality of customer networks. The packet includes an identifier of the customer network and a MAC address of the virtual machine. The VLAN ID of the VLAN for the customer network in the edge domain is determined using the identifier of the customer network and the MAC address of the virtual machine. The FE may be associated with the edge domain at which the virtual machine is hosted, an edge domain of the data center that is different than the edge domain at which the virtual machine is hosted, or the customer network. Depending on the location of the FE at which the packet is received, additional processing may be provided as needed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for a distributed virtual home agent. One embodiment of the method includes implementing a first primary home agent on a first portion of a plurality of hardware elements that operate according to a mobile Internet Protocol (IP) and a second primary home agent on a second portion of the plurality of hardware elements. A first backup home agent is implemented on the second portion of the plurality of hardware elements and a second backup home agent is implemented on the first portion of the plurality of hardware elements. Packets addressed to the first or second primary home agent can be directed to both the first and second portions of the plurality of hardware elements so that states of the first and second backup home agents mirror states of the first and second primary home agents, respectively. When the primary home agent has failed, users associated with this home agent may then be handed off to the associated backup home agent.
