Patent number: 10505852Abstract: For handling data being communicated over lossless Ethernet that is sensitive to delays, a processor designates data being transmitted over an Ethernet connection as one of low latency data and standard data. The processor further indicates that a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) device supports transmission of the low latency data using a type length value (TLV) of a data center bridging capability exchange protocol (DCBX) as of Aug. 10, 2010. The processor transmits the low latency data and indicating that the low latency data being transmitted is low latency data. The processor detects one or more delays in the transmission of the low latency data. The processor issues a flow control command to pause a port from sending frames to the Ethernet for a given amount of time in response to detecting the one or more delays.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Louie A.

Patent number: 10291709Abstract: A manager node provides discovery, translation, and mapping services for supported Ethernet protocol layers. The manager node discovers other nodes within the cloud environment and issues commands to each of the discovered nodes to obtain storage device specific information associated to storage devices communicatively connected to the discovered nodes. The storage device information obtained may include such things as device function (initiator or target), device model number, device capacity, and available storage (free), etc. When the manager node has gathered the storage device specific information it may create a list of all feasible storage devices that could be utilized within the cloud environment. The manager node may determine which of the discovered storage devices will be enabled. Subsequently, the manager node map may serve as an address translator and/or a gateway between protocols.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tara Astigarraga, Christopher V.
