Abstract: An end-to-end path can be set without providing a hierarchy in a control device of a multi-domain network. A path setting system (10) includes an orchestrator 200 and a control device (100). The orchestrator (200) generates path candidates corresponding to a line of domains through which paths that are candidates for a path pass and transmits the path candidates to control devices (100) of domains through which the path candidates pass to request setting of the path. The control device (100) acquires, from the control devices (100) of other domains through which path candidates pass, metrics of the path candidates in the domains, calculates total metrics, selects an optimum path, and sets the optimum path.

Abstract: The method for a virtual machine to use a port and loopback IP addresses allocation scheme for full-mesh communications with transparent transport layer security tunnels is presented. In an embodiment, the method comprises detecting, at a redirect agent implemented in a first machine, a packet that is sent from a client application executing on the first machine toward a server application executing on a second machine; and determining, by the redirect agent, whether a first redirect rule matches the packet. In response to determining that the first redirect rule matches the packet, the redirect agent applies the first redirect rule to the packet to translate the packet into a translated packet, and provides the translated packet to a client agent implemented in the first machine to cause the client agent to transmit the translated packet to a server agent implemented in the second machine.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for implementing a logical router that spans multiple datacenters. The method receives a configuration for a set of logical switches and a logical router (LR) that (i) handles data traffic between data compute nodes (DCNs) connected to the logical switches and endpoints not connected to the set of logical switches and (ii) performs stateful services on the traffic. The DCNs include at least one DCN operating in each datacenter. For each datacenter, the method defines a centralized routing component (SR) for the LR for handling the traffic between the DCNs in the datacenter and the endpoints not connected to the set of logical switches. The method designates one of the SRs as a primary SR and the other SRs as secondary SRs. The secondary SRs forward traffic, received from DCNs in their respective datacenters and for which stateful services are required, to the primary SR.

Abstract: Mechanisms for out-of-band (OOB) management of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) bitstreams and associated methods, apparatus, systems and firmware. Under a first OOB mechanism, a management component, such as a baseband management controller (BMC) is coupled to a processor including an agent in a compute node that includes an FGPA. An FPGA bitstream file is provided to the BMC, and the agent reads the file from the BMC and streams the FPGA bitstream contents in the file to the FPGA to program it. Under second and third OOB mechanisms, a pointer to an FPGA bitstream file that identifies the location of the file that is accessible via a network or fabric is provided to the BMC or other management entity. The BMC/management entity forwards the pointer to BIOS running on the compute node or an agent on the processor. The BIOS or agent then uses the pointer to retrieve the FPGA bitstream file via the network or fabric, as applicable, and streams the FPGA bitstream to the FPGA to program it.
