  • Patent number: 11032235
    Abstract: A host includes persistent storage and a communication manager. The persistent storage stores an address conversion table. The communication manager obtains a multi-agent initiation request from an application. The communication manager also generates a network communication based on the multi-agent initiation request using the address conversion table. The communication manager also transmits the network communication to at least two other hosts.

  • Patent number: 9801308
    Abstract: The electronic device includes a housing that surrounds one or more components of the device and has front, back, top and bottom sides. At least one port is located on at least one of the front and back sides of the housing and configured to receive an end plug of a network cable and communicatively coupled to the one or more components. The housing includes at least one opening formed on at least one of the front and back sides, where the opening is configured to allow the network cable to pass therethrough. At least one side of the housing defines a space so as to allow the network cable to travel between the front side to the back side through the opening and the space.

  • Patent number: 9231860
    Abstract: Systems and methods for hierarchical link aggregation are disclosed. A system for hierarchical link aggregation may include a network interface having a plurality of physical ports. A first plurality of the physical ports may be configured as member ports of a first link aggregation group (LAG). A second plurality of the physical ports may be configured as member ports of a second LAG. The first LAG and second LAG may be configured as member logical ports of a third LAG.
