Abstract: A method is applied to a ring link, where the ring link includes a first node, a second node, a third node, and a fourth node in sequence. According to the method, the first node receives first traffic, where the first node is a source node that sends the first traffic on the ring link; and the first node sends the first traffic to the third node, where two reachable paths with equal hop counts are included from the first node to the third node, the first node sends the first traffic to the third node on a preset first transmission path, the first transmission path passes through the second node, and the first transmission path is one of the two reachable paths with equal hop counts. This method can reduce computing load of nodes while implementing non-blocking switching of traffic between the nodes.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing name-based routing through networks. In various embodiments, a broker manager in each of a plurality of networks may receive a subscription request for a network device from a client device, each device being locally accessible or disposed in an upstream or downstream network. The broker manager uses its client broker to communicate with a locally accessible client device, and uses its mediator broker (and, sometimes, an intermediate device(s)) to communicate with a locally accessible network device. The broker manager otherwise uses its messaging brokers to communicate with control channels of one or more networks. Once subscription with the network device has been established, any commands and responses between the client device and the network device may be routed over pub/sub channels via the broker managers and their brokers using name-based routing, without routing based on IP address of the network device.

The communication broker server may then direct the distributed queue management service to distribute the message data of the first microservice from a data store of the distributed queue management service to one or more corresponding data distribution inboxes of the one or more second microservices.

It may be determined whether to pre-deliver at least a portion of an item of content based at least on the predicted future data connection quality. The pre-delivered portion may include any portion of the content including a latter portion of the content. If so, then the at least the portion of the item of content may be pre-delivered to the device and/or to another destination.

Abstract: Techniques for operating a network device for sharing resources in a hardware forwarding table. In some embodiments, the network device may generate groups of routes having a common set of next hops; for each group of routes of the generated groups: collect resilient adjacencies associated with routes in the group; assemble pairs of the collected resilient adjacencies; and determine a number of differences between resilient adjacencies in each of the assembled pairs. The network device may further order the assembled pairs based on the number of differences, identify a pair of resilient adjacencies associated with a lowest number of differences; select a resilient adjacency of the identified pair of resilient adjacencies; program one or more routes associated with the selected resilient adjacency, to refer to the other resilient adjacency of the identified pair of resilient adjacencies; and remove an entry associated with the selected resilient adjacency from a forwarding table.

Abstract: A reception unit (210) receives an addition requesting frame for requesting addition of a new flow. A first search unit (241) performs, using a network-information database (280), a first search for searching for a schedule and a path assignable to the new flow without the schedule and the path of each existing flow being changed, when the addition requesting frame is received. A second search unit (242) performs a second search for changing the schedule and the path of each existing flow and searching for the schedule and the path assignable to the new flow, using the network-information database, when the schedule and the path assignable to the new flow have not been found by the first search. A response unit (260) transmits an addition responding frame.

Abstract: Techniques are described in which a centralized controller, such as a software defined networking (SDN) controller, constructs a service chain that includes a physical network function (PNF) between a bare metal server (BMS) and a virtual execution element (e.g., virtual machine or container), or in some instances a remote BMS, or vice-versa. In accordance with the techniques disclosed herein, the controller may construct an inter-network service chain that includes PNFs, or a combination of PNFs and virtualized network functions (VNFs). The controller may construct an inter-network service chain to steer traffic between a BMS and a virtual execution element or remote BMS through an inter-network service chain using Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) as an underlying transport technology through the service chain.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide a system that can identify two or more independently managed message threads and modify a user interface to enable a common user of the threads to view messages of both threads. For instance, if a user is participating in a first chat session that is displayed within a first message thread, the system can identify other threads that are related to the first thread. The related threads can be identified by a user input or by a query performed by a system. In some embodiments, the system can only search for threads that have at least one common user to the first thread. The system can provide this display of two related threads while linking the threads but not merging the messages of the threads. A data structure can be maintained to control the display of each thread.
