Abstract: A data transfer method and a virtual switch, where when receiving a data packet, the virtual switch extracts characteristic information of the data packet, and determines, based on the extracted characteristic information of the data packet, whether an expedited forwarding rule is configured for a data stream to which the data packet belongs. If the expedited forwarding rule is configured for the data stream to which the data packet belongs, the virtual switch bypasses a LINUX bridge to directly send the data packet to a receive end, thereby reducing times of data packet switching between a kernel mode and a user mode, and improving data packet forwarding efficiency.

Abstract: A data scheduling method is applied to a first top of rack (TOR) switch in a data center network (DCN). The data scheduling method comprises using a load of a path as a basis for data scheduling such that a load change status of the DCN can be dynamically sensed.

Abstract: While scheduled checkpoints are being taken of a cluster of active compute nodes distributively executing an application in parallel, a likelihood of failure of the active compute nodes is periodically and independently predicted. Responsive to the likelihood of failure of a given active compute node exceeding a threshold, the given active compute node is proactively migrated to a spare compute node of the cluster at a next scheduled checkpoint. Another spare compute node of the cluster can perform prediction and migration. Prediction can be based on both hardware events and software events regarding the active compute nodes.

Abstract: Utilizing a computing device to determine and enforce limits on cloud computing containers transmitting data over a network. A determination is made of total container time remaining available for a first container to execute in a computing environment, the first container utilizing one or more processor threads executing on a computing device. Processor packet transmission time is determined for processing and transmission of a packet or a batch of packets via a network stack associated with the computing device by the one or more processor threads utilized by the first container. An updated total container time remaining for the first container is calculated, accounting for the processor packet transmission time. The updated total container time remaining is enforced by descheduling all processor threads utilized by the first container if the updated total container time remaining is insufficient.

Abstract: Utilizing a computing device to determine and enforce limits on cloud computing containers receiving data over a network. A determination is made of total container time remaining available for a first container to execute in a computing environment. Processor packet receipt time is determined for receiving and processing of a packet or a batch of packets via a network stack associated with the computing device. An updated total container time remaining is calculated for the first container accounting for the processor packet receipt time. The updated total container time remaining is enforced by dropping a subsequent packet or batch of packets received at the network stack if the updated total container time remaining is insufficient.
