  • Fault tolerance for SDN gateways using network switches
    Patent number: 11743189
    Abstract: A virtual network comprising virtual machines executing at a computing environment is implemented. A software defined networking (SDN) appliance is configured to provide a connection to computing resources via a virtual network of a virtual computing environment. The SDN appliance includes a network interface card that are operable to interact with multiple field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices are configured to be a hardware acceleration device for processing data traffic, and the FPGA device is configured to ingress a packet to a dataflow on one port and egress the packet from a different port associated with a different dataflow.
    Type: Grant

  • Software defined networking operations for programmable connected devices
    Patent number: 11102164
    Abstract: A virtual network comprising virtual machines executing at a computing environment is implemented. A software defined networking (SDN) appliance is configured to provide a connection to computing resources via a virtual network of a virtual computing environment. The SDN appliance is configured to apply policies of the virtual computing environment to data traffic on the virtual network. The SDN appliance is operable to interact with multiple network devices that are configured to act as a hardware acceleration device for processing data traffic. Virtual addresses are assigned to the network devices. The SDN appliance executes a virtual switch configured to identify data traffic sent to or received from a host and act as a proxy for the network devices and respond on their behalf.
