Abstract: A port mode adaptation method includes a network device determining a status of a port on the network device. The method includes the network device setting a mode of the port to an Ethernet interface mode if the status of the port satisfies a first condition. In this way, when the network device identifies the mode of the port on the network device as the FlexE interface mode, and there is no link at the FlexE shim of the port, the network device may determine that a mode used by a port interconnected with the port is not a FlexE interface mode. In this case, the network device may adaptively set the mode of the port to the Ethernet interface mode, to ensure that the port on the network device can use a same mode as another port interconnected with the port.

Abstract: This application relates to a slot negotiation method and a device. The method includes: A transmitter sends a first FlexE overhead frame to a receiver, to request active/standby calendar switching. When the receiver is in a restart state, the receiver does not respond to the received first FlexE overhead frame. In addition, the RX sends a routine update second FlexE overhead frame to the transmitter. Determining that the second FlexE overhead frame is not a response to the first FlexE overhead frame, the transmitter sends a third FlexE overhead frame to request active/standby calendar switching again. According to the method in this application, incorrect calendar switching on the transmitter side caused by a mistaken response of the receiver can be avoided. This reduces the likelihood of a service interruption caused by the existing slot negotiation mechanism.

Abstract: Systems are provided for processing of complex join queries. The systems receive a join query directed towards a set of tables. The systems randomly select an attribute from an index associated with a table from the set of tables. The selected attribute is selected based upon a query applied to the table. The systems identify a number of possible pathways from the selected attribute to a set of attributes in another table within the set of tables. Each pathway is representative of a possible join between the selected attribute and the attributes within the set of attributes. The systems then identify a terminating attribute within the set of tables. A contribution of the terminating attribute to a result is weighted by a number of possible pathways identified between an initial set of attributes and the terminating attribute.
