Abstract: Techniques for leveraging Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) to carry monitored network traffic (i.e., network packets that are received and matched to a monitoring policy by a network monitoring system/fabric) are provided. In one set of embodiments, these techniques involve encapsulating a monitored packet using GRE by inserting the monitored packet in an unmodified form into a payload portion of a GRE packet and inserting metadata regarding the monitored packet into a header portion of the GRE packet, where the header portion employs a non-standard GRE header format that is designed to accommodate such metadata.

Abstract: A unitary busbar provides power from one connection point in an electric vehicle to another connection point. The unitary busbar includes a central solid core conductor, an insulation layer over the solid core conductor, and an electromagnetic shield fitted around the insulator. The unitary busbar is capable of being bent into specific configurations that allow it to conform to the body of an electric vehicle.

Abstract: A method for scheduling jobs in a networked computing grid is described. The method includes scheduling jobs to meet goals related to execution of the jobs within the computing grid. The jobs may be scheduled by evaluating job execution goals against available resource slots provided by the computing grid. Also disclosed are related methods for scheduling jobs in which the jobs are submitted to service classes having defined job execution goals, and wherein the jobs are scheduled according to the job execution goals of the service classes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for securing a layer II bridging switch for subscriber aggregation is described. The method receives packets from a circuit on the layer II bridging switch and makes a forwarding decision for each packet based on at least one of the addresses of the packet being currently assigned to a second circuit.
