Abstract: A method includes a first node obtaining a first target bandwidth of first traffic on a first path, where the first path is a path used to transmit the first traffic from the first node to a second node. The first target bandwidth is not greater than a minimum value in remaining available bandwidths of single-hop links on the first path, and a single-hop link is a link between two directly connected nodes. The first node sends the first traffic on the first path based on the first target bandwidth. Accordingly, before traffic is transmitted in the network device, available bandwidth resources are predetermined for the traffic, and the traffic corresponding to the available bandwidth resources is transmitted on the determined available bandwidth resources.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for a frontend driver that notifies a hypervisor of a map request from a guest driver of a device, wherein the device is passed through to and directly controlled by a virtual machine, and wherein the map request is associated with an attempt of the device to access a guest memory page in a virtualized execution environment. The frontend driver may also determine whether the guest memory page is pinned and send a map hypercall to the hypervisor if the guest memory page is not pinned. Additionally, the hypervisor may determine that the guest memory page is pinned, determine, based on a direct memory access (DMA) bitmap, that an unmap request from the guest driver has been issued, and unpin the guest memory page.

Abstract: According to a load sharing method and a network device, traffic distribution ratios are correspondingly preset for different paths. For example, an equivalent resistance method is used as a load sharing algorithm provided in embodiments of this application, to calculate a corresponding traffic distribution ratio for each possible path. The traffic distribution ratio and the corresponding path are preset for a corresponding node. In this way, traffic entering a network device is distributed to each path in the network device based on the preset ratio, without causing excessive bandwidth pressure on a shortest path, to implement relatively optimal load balancing. For the network device with either a ring network structure or a stereoscopic network structure, a requirement for a link bandwidth between the nodes in the network device can be reduced.
