Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a virtualized network function (VNF) descriptor (VNFD) indicative of resources for managing VNF components (VNFCs) across a plurality of virtualized infrastructure managers (VIMs) implemented in a virtualized computing environment configured in a user-specific configuration. A VNFD generator receives a solution description file (SDF) encoding user input pertaining to the user-specific configuration, and a VNFC descriptor encoding VNFC specific information. The SDF and VNFC descriptor are validated and translated to generate an abstracted VNFD that is independent of renderers implemented at the virtualized computing environment. The abstracted VNFD is translated to a VNFD that is specific to the renderers and VIM and VNFD-specific information at the virtualized computing environment.

Abstract: Session meshes can be managed. When a session is to be initiated, session mesh devices can be detected and identified. Based on the session mesh devices that are part of a session mesh, a session mesh policy can be created to define configurations for the session mesh devices that will ensure that the session mesh complies with applicable security requirements. The session mesh policy can be distributed to one or more client computing devices in the session mesh which can apply the configurations to the session mesh devices. In conjunction with applying the configurations to the session mesh devices, the client computing devices can provide confirmation that the session mesh has been configured in accordance with the session mesh policy. The session can then be initiated.

Abstract: Techniques for leveraging MLD capabilities at edge nodes of network fabrics to receive SNMAs from silent hosts, and creating unicast addresses from the SNMAs for the silent nodes that are used as secondary matches in a network overlay if primary unicast address lookups fail. The edge nodes described herein may act as snoopers of MLD reports in order to identify the SNMAs of the silent hosts. The edge nodes then forge unicast addresses for the silent hosts that match with the least three bytes of the SNMAs. The forged unicast addresses are presented as unicast MAC/IP mappings in the fabric overlay. In situations where a primary IP address lookup fails, the look-up device performs a secondary lookup for a mapped address that has the last three bytes of the IP address. If a mapping is found, the lookup is sent as a unicast message to the matching MAC address.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to storing location information about storage nodes in cookies. A cloud-based service may send location requests to an orchestration service that instantiated storage nodes included in a storage cluster of the cloud-based service. The cloud-based service may receive location information that identifies in which computer zone that a given storage node is located. The cloud-based service may store the location information in cookies at a metadata store that is shared among the storage nodes. The cloud-based service may receive, from a client node, a search request to identify ones of the storage nodes that store particular data. The cloud-based service may return a set of cookies corresponding to identified storage nodes. The set of cookies may enable the client node to determine whether there is a storage node that stores the particular data and is within the same computer zone as the client node.

In some situations, one or more of the computing nodes of a managed virtual computer network is configured to perform actions to extend capabilities of the managed virtual computer network to other computing nodes that are not part of the managed virtual computer network, such as by forwarding communications between computing nodes of the managed virtual computer network and the other external computing nodes so as to enable the other external computing nodes to participate in the managed virtual computer network. In some situations, the computing nodes may include virtual machine nodes hosted on one or more physical computing machines or systems, such as by or on behalf of one or more users.

Abstract: Packets to be transmitted from a network device are buffered in queues in a first packet memory. In response to detecting congestion in a queue in the first packet memory, groups of multiple packets are transferred from the first packet memory to a second packet memory, the second packet memory configured to buffer a portion of traffic bandwidth supported by the network device. Prior to transmission of the packets among the one or more groups of multiple packets from the network device, packets among the one or more groups of multiple packets are transferred from the second packet memory back to the first packet memory. The packets transferred from the second packet memory back to the first packet memory are retrieved from the first packet memory and are forwarded to one or more network ports for transmission of the packets from the network device.
