Abstract: Embodiments herein describe creating multiple packet fragments from a large data chunk that, for example, exceeds a maximum transmission unit (MTU) supported by a network. In one embodiment, a network interface controller or card (NIC) receives a direct memory access (DMA) from a connected host to transmit an IP packet or data using remote direct memory access (RDMA) technologies. The NIC can evaluate the data chunk associated with the DMA request and determine whether it exceeds the MTU for the network. Assuming it does, the NIC determines how many fragments to divide the data chunk into, and can fragment any portion of the data at flexible packet/payload offsets. The NIC can then retrieve the data chunk from host memory fragment-by-fragment, rather than reading the data chunk all at once, generating headers for the fragments, and then transmit them as packet fragments.

Abstract: The system includes one or more virtual machines deployed on a network and connected to a server via one or more networks. Each virtual machine obtains and analyzes network traffic and constructs a local network map of devices based on the analysis. Information corresponding to the local network map of devices is provided to the server and the network server aggregates one or more local network maps of devices into a global network map of devices. The global network map of devices is constructed into 2D and 3D graphical user interfaces by the server. The characteristics of user devices that request the global network map of devices from the server are obtained by the server and analyzed and in response to the request, the server provides an appropriate 2D or 3D graphical user interface to the requesting device.

Abstract: One or more embodiments provide techniques that permit virtual computing instances in isolated environments to communicate information outside the isolated environments without requiring networking. In one embodiment, an encoder which runs in a virtual machine (VM) within an isolated environment, such as one of the VMs of a packaged virtual machine application that does not have external network connectivity, is configured to encode information, such as state information of the packaged virtual machine application, in portion(s) of a network address. The encoder further configures an unconnected network interface of the same VM, or another VM in the isolated environment, with the network address that includes the encoded information. A decoder, which could not otherwise communicate with the virtual computing instance via any network, may then retrieve the network address assigned to the unconnected network interface and decode that network address to obtain the information encoded therein.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains data indicative of quality of experience for an online application. The device predicts, based on the data, path performances of network paths between an endpoint and the online application for different traffic loads.

The device causes application traffic to be load balanced across the network paths between the endpoint and the online application, in accordance with those traffic loads selected by the device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that facilitate sharing or a hand-off of program content or a user session (e.g., running within a computer application) of a user device such that a user can easily select and then switch devices on which program content is being viewed or on which a user session is being run without having to sift through a myriad of other devices such as remote discoverable devices on the same network that are not in close proximity to the user device. A user device determines which of a plurality of discovered devices from which a short range wireless signal including a defined key was received and provides a list of discovered devices with which a session may be shared over the computer network with the user device based on this determination.
