A data partition in a plurality of data partitions of data stream is selected based on a request received from a client processing node. The plurality of data partitions are distributed among a plurality of broker nodes in a distributed messaging system. A broker node in the plurality of broker nodes hosting the selected data partition is identified. The identified broker node provides the selected data partition to the client processing node for performing at least one function.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for local and distributed function based dynamic traffic management for network services. A service host executes a network service and provides a service framework that includes one or more handlers. When a request is received for the service, one of the handlers assigns a classification to the request. The handler then provides the classification to a dynamic function based traffic controller. The controller determines whether the network service is to process the request based on the classification of the request, metrics associated with the network service, and a local traffic management policy. If the controller determines that the network service is not to process the request, the request is rejected. Otherwise, the request is passed to the network service for processing. Metrics can also be provided from the service host to a distributed performance monitoring system for use in managing network traffic at a fleet level.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing inter-node bandwidth are contemplated. A computer system includes requesting nodes sending transactions to target nodes. A requesting node sends a packet that includes a register identifier (ID) in place of a data value in the packet. The register ID indicates a register in the target node storing the data value. The register ID uses fewer bits in the packet than the data value. The data value may be a memory address referencing a memory location in the target node. The received packet may also include an opcode indicating an operation to perform on the targeted data value.

The device may calculate hash values for the virtual identifiers based on the object identifier. The device may determine a virtual identifier associated with a hash value that satisfies a particular condition. The device may select a server associated with the virtual identifier. The device may send an instruction to the server to process the object.

Abstract: Communication services enable two or more users to communicate electronically using multiple modes of communication. Conversations between groups of users are common, where one or more communications may be exchanged repeatedly over a period of time. In some scenarios, a communication desired to be conveyed by a participant in a conversation may be a simple endorsement, such as receipt acknowledgment and various levels of social activity actions and/or gestures, which may be useful for other participants of the conversation to see as well. Provision of endorsement indications in communication environments may enable the participant to select an endorsement for a communication or a conversation without explicitly replying to the communication or conversation, where an endorsement indication based on the selected endorsement may be transmitted and displayed to the other participants of the conversation through an endorsement module of the communication service.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to a method for scheduling logical resources in cloud platforms. A cloud platform system identifies resource candidates for hosting a logical resource of a cloud service. The system filters the resource candidates by running them through a filter chain, a collection of serially connected filters. The filter chain may contain one or more reference filters that reference other filter chains. When the resource candidates encounter one of the reference filters, the other filter chains can be triggered and processed. The system selects one or more resources for hosting the logical resource from the filtered resource candidates.

Abstract: This technique determines the possible Service Level Agreement (SLA) violation during migrating a workload from a physical environment to a virtualized environment and also migrating a virtual machine (VM) from one physical machine to another within a virtualized environment. This technique uses capacity factor, i.e. the ratio of host physical machine (host PM) capacity and target physical machine (target PM) capacity, to determine the service rate change in the target PM compared to host PM and eventually calculates the VM utilization and response time in the target PM. It then checks if the VM utilization and response time in the target PM lies within the SLA limit. It further checks if the migration in the target virtualized PM is violating a predefined target PM utilization threshold or not and finally causes the migration in the target physical machine if all the SLA parameters are satisfied.

Abstract: Methods for re-anchoring a transport layer session in a communication network are disclosed. For example, a method receives a request to re-anchor a transport layer session and sends a packet notifying of a transport layer session re-anchor to a peer. The packet includes a header with a session identifier field, and a record type field that indicates that a payload of the packet comprises transport layer session re-anchor information. The method receives a confirmation of the transport layer session re-anchor notification. Another method receives a packet comprising a notification of a transport layer session re-anchor from a peer. The method updates a session management table and transmits packets to the peer using an updated address received in the notification of the transport layer session re-anchor.
