Abstract: System and method for supporting multiple vSwitches on a single host server. In one aspect, embodiments according to the present disclosure include a system and method for supporting multiple vSwitches on a single host server. In one aspect, a set of packet processor threads are instantiated to process data packets on behalf of all vSwitches deployed on the host server. For a data packet received at a port of the host server, a packet processor determines the datapath based on a mapping table and processes the packet according to the rules defined for that datapath. In one aspect, ports (physical and/or virtual) are able to be configured to specified vSwitches dynamically.

Abstract: A method for managing a pool of bandwidth resources available over a communication network as executed by a processor. The method includes receiving a plurality of wholesale bandwidth values requesting bandwidth from the pool of bandwidth resources from a plurality of computing resources associated with the plurality of customers, wherein the wholesale bandwidth values are guaranteed over a predetermined period, and wherein the pool has a maximum capacity. The method includes tracking bandwidth resource usage throughout the predetermined period. The method includes allocating a first portion of available bandwidth from the pool to a first customer based on a reselling rate ratio applicable to the plurality of customers at a particular point in time during the predetermined period. Available bandwidth is generated by purchasing unused bandwidth from the plurality of customers over the predetermined period.
