Abstract: When a drive in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) fails, for a first stripe unit stored in the failed drive, a RAID controller obtains from a bitmap a first indicator indicating whether the first stripe unit contains written data, wherein the bitmap contains a plurality of indicators corresponding to stripe units stored in the failed drive, and the first stripe unit belongs to a first stripe stored in the RAID system; if the first indicator indicates that the first stripe unit does not contain written data, write zeros into a first replacement stripe unit in a replacement drive, wherein the first replacement stripe unit replaces the first stripe unit in the first stripe. Without performing XOR operations for the stripe units indicated no data by the table, a time consumed for rebuilding can be significantly reduced, recovering the RAID array healthy sooner and reducing the impact on system bandwidth usage and host I/O performance impact during the rebuild process.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to technology for classifying a node in a network. Content published from one or more content producers in the network is received by the node comprising sufficient storage and processing capability to store and process the content received. It is then determined whether the node can receive additional content that is published for one or more other nodes in the network. A metric is calculated for paths from the node to each of the one or more content producers in the network in response to determining that additional content can be received by the node. The node is classified as a home node in the network in response to determining that the metric for paths of the node is shorter than a metric for paths of each of the one or more other nodes in the network.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for identifying transitory WiFi users and providing a differential treatment of such users in terms of delaying associating steps between user stations (STAs) and an access point (AP). A transitory user refers to a user or user device that connects to a WiFi AP but does not run applications that require association or assigning IP addresses, such as short-term or temporary connected WiFi users that are on the move. In an embodiment, a STA connects to an AP. Upon the STA indicating its transitory behavior to the AP or the AP detecting criteria of transitory behavior of the STA, the STA obtains a delay time value from the AP. The STA then delays sending an association request to the AP, or alternatively, the AP delays handling the association request from the STA in accordance with the delay time value.

Abstract: System and method of ad hoc on-demand routing by virtue of central control. A central controller of a network can communicate directly with a route-requesting network device regarding discovery of a data transmission path and perform route computation. A source network device may query the central controller with a unicast route request. In response, the central controller can identify a feasible route based on the topology information of the network. The central controller may also receive a broadcast route request along with other network nodes. As a result, the source device can be offered to select from two resultant routes, one provided by the central controller in a centralized manner and the other provided by the destination device. Further, the central controller can be used specifically for computation of constrained routes by incorporating global constraints. The central controller may be a software defined network (SDN) controller.
