  • Patent number: 10587521
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a system for hierarchically orchestrating network traffic including a network orchestration module and multiple device orchestration modules. The device orchestration module is configured to receive network traffic. The device orchestration module may transmit device data to the network orchestration module. The network orchestration module is configured to perform a network level orchestration to coordinate network traffic across multiple device orchestration modules based on the device data received by the device orchestration modules. The device orchestration module comprises a routing layer configured to forward network traffic to downstream computing devices. The device orchestration module includes a compute node configured to perform a device level orchestration of the network traffic between the routing nodes of the device orchestration module.

  • Patent number: 8626949
    Abstract: An intelligent lookup service for a network is provided for clients of a network requesting services of the network that intelligently determines, based on a service requirement of the requested service, optimal service endpoint(s) for providing the requested service. The intelligent lookup service can incorporate predetermined mapping policy and traffic measurements into the determination. In addition, a feedback loop is provided from clients and/or service endpoints to the lookup service concerning measurements about prior connections in the network. The lookup service can include a set of beacons distributed in the network and against which measurements about the network are recorded. A client receives, from the lookup service in response to a request for a network address, a set of candidate service endpoints that pertain to the requested network address and the client connects to one of the candidate service endpoints based on policy or context.

  • Publication number: 20100036903
    Abstract: Systems and methods that distribute load balancing functionalities in a data center. A network of demultiplexers and load balancer servers enable a calculated scaling and growth operation, wherein capacity of load balancing operation can be adjusted by changing the number of load balancer servers. Accordingly, load balancing functionality/design can be disaggregated to increase resilience and flexibility for both the load balancing and switching mechanisms of the data center.
