Abstract: A method for communication includes partitioning local links in a subnetwork of a packet data network into at least first and second groups. For each local link that connects a first upper-tier switch to a first lower-tier switch in the subnetwork, a corresponding detour route is defined, passing through a first local link belonging to the first group from the first upper-tier switch to a second lower-tier switch, and from the second lower-tier switch over a second local link to a second upper-tier switch, and from the second upper-tier switch over a third local link belonging to the second group to the first lower-tier switch. Upon a failure of the local link connecting the first upper-tier switch to the first lower-tier switch, data packets arriving from the network at the first upper-tier switch are rerouted to pass via the corresponding detour route to the first lower-tier switch.

Abstract: Audio conferences between multiple participants may be conducted without preconfigured passcodes by associating a toll line with a particular conference partner. Users of a conferencing system may dial the toll line and enter a passcode. The first user to enter may enter any passcode of their choosing, such as a passcode agreed to by other conference participants. If no conference with that passcode is currently executing on the conference platform, a new conference is activated. Subsequent users who enter the same passcode are joined to the conference.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage communication path configurations between edge gateways in a computing environment. In at least one implementation, a controller monitors network characteristics associated with routes from a first edge gateway to a second edge gateway and determines whether a first route configuration for the first edge gateway to communicate with the second edge gateway fails to satisfy criteria based on the network characteristics. If the first route configuration fails to satisfy the criteria, the controller determines a second route configuration and applies the second route configuration for the first edge gateway to communicate with the second edge gateway.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel network architecture for deploying guest clusters (GCs) including workload machines for a tenant (or other entity) within an availability zone. The novel network architecture includes a virtual private cloud (VPC) deployed in the availability zone (AZ) that includes a centralized routing element that provides access to a gateway routing element of the AZ. In some embodiments, the centralized routing element provides a set of services for packets traversing a boundary of the VPC. The services, in some embodiments, include load balancing, firewall, quality of service (QoS) and may be stateful or stateless. Guest clusters are deployed within the VPC and use the centralized routing element of the VPC to access the gateway routing element of the AZ.

Abstract: A process and a computer establish a data transfer from a provider (1, 2) that provides data to a consumer (9) that uses the data. A consumer (9) transmits a request message (probe) for requested data to a communications agent (5), in response, the communications agent (5) adds an entry for the request message (probe) to a requests list (AL). Subsequently, a provider (1, 2) transmits a registration message (Hello) to the communications agent (5). The communications agent (5) searches the requests list (AL) for an entry for a request message (probe) that matches the received registration message (Hello). If a matching entry is found in the requests list (AL), the communications agent (5) initiates a data transfer from the provider (1, 2) to the consumer (9).

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a CDN utilizing a Direct Server Return (DSR) request command to create a tunnel from one content server to another content server of the CDN. Through the DSR tunnel, a request for content may be served from a content server that is more advantageous for the CDN for any number of reasons, such as from a content server that is logically closer to the content server. In determining when a DSR tunnel is created to provide the content, the CDN may access a database storing various information concerning the CDN, such as the location of egress gateways of the CDN in relation to one or more content servers, connecting network location information, the capabilities of one or more content servers, and/or load information of available content servers.
