Abstract: A monitoring device for troubleshooting events in a datacenter network identifies a first network event for a time period, and provides an initial display page, one or more additional display pages, selectable display objects, and a representation of the first network event. The device generates a dynamic troubleshooting path for the first network event to track a user navigation between display pages, a manipulation of the one or more selectable display objects, and a last-current display page, and also provides an indication of a second network event associated with higher resolution priority relative to the first network event. Retrieving the dynamic troubleshooting path causes the interface to present the last-current display page, apply the manipulation of the one or more selectable display objects, and load the user navigation between the initial dashboard display page and the one or more additional display pages in a cache.

The first RDMA NIC includes a read application, a descriptor application, and a reception application. The read application is configured such that the first RDMA NIC reads the WQEs from a first memory. The descriptor application is configured such that the first RDMA NIC: writes a portion of the WQEs directly from the first RDMA NIC to a second memory of the intermediary host device; and triggers a second RDMA NIC of the intermediary host device to process the portion of the WQEs stored in the second memory.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for managing received data by a client device and indicating data removal management by a server. A method for managing received data by a client device includes receiving a message including information about a number of modes for removal of the data from a buffer at the client. The method also includes selecting a mode for removal of the data from the buffer with a maximum required buffer size among the modes indicated by the information about the modes in the received message and removing the data from the buffer based on the identified mode. A method for indicating data removal management by a server includes generating and sending a message including information about a number of modes for removal of received data from a buffer at a client device. The information indicates, for each of the modes, a type of mode for removal of the data.

Abstract: Information related to apparently successful matches between two entities is collected, and culled based on a later indication that the match failed. Matches between two entities may be generated based on comparative information with other entities who appear to share some characteristics or preferences. Matches may be based on actual actions, in contrast to expressed preferences. Actual actions may be taken into account in addition to expressed preferences. Generation of matches may take into account geographical and/or temporal proximity and/or likelihood of receiving a response, in addition to other attributes of an entity. Matching algorithms may be updated based on entity input. Potential matches may be presented to third party entities for evaluation.
