Abstract: Systems and methods provide a drive system control architecture that comprises a seamless interface between original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicle systems or components (e.g., accelerator pedal, brake pedal, accessory components, etc.) and third-party (or non-OEM) vehicle systems or components (e.g., motor/generator (MG) and inverter systems, fuel cell and battery systems, transmission, etc.). A universal interface implemented in a vehicle may receive a request for a specified amount of torque from one or more components of a first set of vehicle components, and may determine a balance between one or more components of a second set of vehicle components for delivering the specified amount of torque. The universal interface may then instruct the one or more components of the second set of vehicle components to deliver a commensurate portion of the specified amount of torque.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for communicating message objects from a first process to a second process in transport node of a virtualized network, the message objects specifying a change to status of a virtualized network object in the virtualized network. In technique, message objects are separated from operation objects, which have fields corresponding to the fields of the message objects, a field of the operations object being capable of specifying a change to or a status of a field of the message object to which it corresponds. Yet another object combines a message object and an operation object so that the protocol for communication between the first and second process is the same regardless of the contents of the actual message.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to capture packets of interest in a virtual switch. In one implementation, a method of capturing packets of interest in a virtual switch includes identifying a request to capture packets associated with first packet attributes. The method further includes, in response to the request, assigning a virtual port for forwarding the packets associated with the first packet attributes, and implementing a forwarding rule in the virtual switch to forward the packets associated with the first packet attributes to at least the virtual port. The method further provides for directing traffic over the virtual switch using the forwarding rule.

Abstract: A method of suppressing ARP packets in a logical network comprising a set of data compute nodes (DCNs). The DCNs are hosted on a set of physical hosts. Each DCN has a protocol address and is connected to a forwarding elements (FE) on the corresponding host. Each FE has a set of flows that specifies a set of conditions to match a set of fields of each received packet and a set of actions to take on a packet that matches the set of conditions. An FE on a physical host receives a packet sent by a first DCN on the physical host and determines that the received packet is an ARP request packet by matching a set of fields in the packet with a set of conditions of a particular flow. The ARP request packet identifies a protocol address of a second DCN on the logical network.

Abstract: A composite database containing virtualized objects of a transport node in a virtualized network, and methods pertaining thereto is disclosed. The composite database supports each of many clients having their own database values. The composite database is formed by augmenting a key-value database to have an augmented key that comprises an original key, indicating the type of object stored, concatenated with a list of database identifiers. The composite database stores at the augmented key, values of objects in the database that pertain to each database identifier in the augmented key, where each object is in serialized form. Accessing the database includes scanning the database for a list of augmented key-value pairs containing a given key. Getting a database record includes specifying a key and a database identifier. The list of augmented key-value pairs is searched for the record having the specified database identifier.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for installing flows of a desired network state in an actualized network state of a managed forwarding element. In some embodiments, the method maintains a flow output table based on flow events received from a computation engine for computing desired state, and from a set of managed forwarding elements on which the computed desired state is installed. The method of some embodiments then installs flows on the set of managed forwarding elements based on the flow output table.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to an encoding scheme, and more specifically to a stable encoding scheme that is both variable-length and order-preserving. The present disclosure further describes a decoding scheme to decode and encoding generated by the encoding scheme. The encoding scheme may be parameterized by a single parameter k which remains constant across encoding and corresponding decoding operations. The output encodings generated by the encoding scheme are variable-length while maintaining order.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to reduce data plane disruption during a startup event for a virtual switch controller. In one example, during a startup event, applications are initiated on a virtual switch controller to configure the virtual switch. Once initiated, an application, which depends on one or more other applications, may hold configuration operations until notifications are received from the one or more other applications operating on the virtual switch controller. Once the notifications are received, the application may resume the required configuration operations.
