Publication number: 20210218799Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing workloads across multiple resources in a distributed computing system. A data traffic flow between a source device and each of a plurality of target devices within the distributed computing system is monitored. A load state of each of the plurality of target devices is determined based on the monitored data traffic flow. Upon detecting a resource constraint for at least one of the plurality of target devices, at least a portion of the data traffic flow between the source device and the resource-constrained target device is adjusted such that the device operates at a reduced load state. The data traffic flow to the particular target device may be readjusted so as to restore its load state to a default or predetermined operating level once the resource constrained has been resolved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: Kevin E. Mason, William L. White, Carla A. Dunagan

Patent number: 8005968Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for loading initial maximum transmission unit (MTU) information and determining a destination host PMTU are provided. PMTU is the maximum data unit size that can be transmitted from a source host to a destination host because of a limiting component located somewhere in the path. Initial MTU values are determined from local and network sources, including a central repository, and loaded. A PMTU is then determined for a path between a source host and destination host by selecting an MTU value from the available values. If no MTU values are available for a destination host, a default value is used.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2009Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kevin Eugene Mason, Carla Dunagan Cetina, Jeffrey Paul Jensen, Jonathan Peary Morris, Roger Duncan Seielstad, Jimison Samuel Turpin
