Abstract: A wireless mesh network includes a mesh of continuously-powered devices (CPDs) and a mesh of battery-powered devices (BPDs). The BPDs are organized into hop layers based on hopping distance to the mesh of CPDs. The CPDs transmit time beacons to BPDs in a first hop layer during a first receive window associated with the first hop layer. The BPDs in the first hop layer then transmit time beacons to BPDs in a second hop layer during a second receive window. In this manner, the wireless mesh network propagates time values throughout the BPD mesh. Based on these time values, the BPDs power on during short time intervals to exchange data with neighboring BPDs, and then power off for longer time intervals, thereby conserving battery power. The techniques described herein for conserving battery power for BPDs may also be applied to conserve power consumption of CPDs.

Abstract: A timer is associated with a packet of a flow from a VM at an application executing in conjunction with a vSwitch in a host system, using a processor assigned to the vSwitch in the host system. At the application, using a counter, a number of packets of the flow that are received and acknowledged in response packets is counted, the response packets being received from a receiver of the flow. At the application, using a period measured by the timer and the number of received packets acknowledged as counted by the counter, a CWND value is computed. The CWND value is applied to the flow at the vSwitch such that the vSwitch transmits, from the flow to a network, only a number of packets up to the CWND value.
