Abstract: Technologies for distributed detection of security anomalies include a computing device to establish a trusted relationship with a security server. The computing device reads one or more packets of at least one of an inter-virtual network function network or an inter-virtual network function component network in response to establishing the trusted relationship and performs a security threat assessment of the one or more packets. The computing device transmits the security threat assessment to the security server.

Abstract: Examples may include techniques to enable synchronized execution of a command by nodes in a network fabric. A node capable of hosting a fabric manager for the network fabric (fabric manager node) may generate one or more packets including a command to be executed by at least some nodes in the network fabric. In some examples, a time stamp is also included with at least one of the one or more packets to indicate to receiving nodes to execute the command at a synchronized time.

Abstract: Methods, software, and apparatus for implementing local service chaining (LSC) with virtual machines (VMs) or virtualized containers in Software Defined Networking (SDN). In one aspect a method is implemented on a compute platform including a plurality of VMs or containers, each including a virtual network interface controller (vNIC) communicatively coupled to a virtual switch in an SDN. LSCs are implemented via a plurality of virtual network appliances hosted by the plurality of VMs or containers. Each LCS comprises a sequence (chain) of services performed by virtual network appliances defined for the LSC. In connection with performing the chain of services, packet data is forwarded between VMs or containers using a cut-through mechanisms under which packet data is directly written to receive (Rx) buffers on the vNICs in a manner that bypasses the virtual switch. LSC indicia (e.g.

Abstract: Examples may include techniques to securely provision, configure, and de-provision virtual network functions for a software defined network or a cloud infrastructure elements. A policy for a virtual network function may be received, at a secure execution partition of circuitry, and the virtual network function configured to implement the policy by the secure execution partition of the circuitry. The secure execution partition may connect to the virtual network function through a virtual switch and may cause the virtual network function to implement a network function based on the policy.

Abstract: Technologies to monitor and manage platform, device, processor and power characteristics throughout a system utilizing a remote entity such as controller node. By remotely monitoring and managing system operation and performance over time, future system performance requirements may be anticipated, allowing system parameters to be adjusted proactively in a more coordinated way. The controller node may monitor, control and predict traffic flows in the system and provide performance modification instructions to any of the computer nodes and a network switch to better optimize performance. The target systems collaborate with the controller node by respectively monitoring internal resources, such as resource availability and performance requirements to provide necessary resources for optimizing operating parameters of the system.
