Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for improvement of provisioning of compute resources among users.

Abstract: Serving data units on a network includes queuing data units from a first application in a first buffer, queuing data units from a second application in a second buffer, moving data units from the second buffer to the first buffer following a predetermined delay, and serving data units from the first buffer.

Abstract: A method to accommodate two different data structures when porting a protocol stack to a driver includes providing entries in a driver packet buffer structure to mimic a buffer structure of a ported protocol stack. The method also includes providing entries in the buffer structure of the ported protocol stack.

Abstract: A technique for updating a routing table in a routing device operating over a logical connection in a communication network utilizes a mechanism at a first protocol layer to determine a logical connection status and trigger a routing table update at a second protocol layer based upon the logical connection status. Specifically, the first protocol layer logic monitors the status of the logical channels, and, based on the status of the logical channels, determines the status of the logical connections. When the first protocol layer logic detects a logical channel failure that results in a logical connection failure, the first protocol layer logic triggers a routing table update by sending a signal to the second protocol layer logic indicating that the logical connection failed.
