Abstract: Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes registering at least one of a plurality of virtual internet protocol addresses (VIPAs) to each of a plurality of network adapters. The method further includes distributing, by each of the plurality of network adapters, inbound data among each of the plurality of network adapters using an address resolution protocol.

Abstract: The disclosed communication system may employ a first protocol for communication over a network connection. The communication system may use subnet information or prefix information to determine if the network connection qualifies for using a second protocol. If the communication system determines that the network connection qualifies, the communication system employs the second protocol for communication over the network connection.

Abstract: A method for managing communications to add a first Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) link between a TCP server and a TCP client, where the first RDMA link references first remote memory buffer (RMB) and a second RMB, and further based on a first remote direct memory access network interface card (RNIC) associated with the TCP server and a second RNIC associated with the TCP client. The system determines whether a third RNIC is enabled. The system adds a second RDMA link, responsive to a determination that the third RNIC is enabled. The system detects a failure in the second RDMA link. The system reconfigures the first RDMA link to carry at least one TCP packet of a session formerly assigned to the second RDMA link, responsive to detecting the failure. The system communicates at least one packet of the at least one session on the first RDMA link.

Abstract: A book covering includes a stretchable material configured to completely extend over an outer face and side edges of each cover of a book and a plurality of reinforcing elements disposed at localized areas of the stretchable material. Each reinforcing element includes a segment, spaced from the other reinforcing elements of the plurality of reinforcing elements, that is adapted to be disposed adjacent a corner of a cover of a book when the stretchable material is extended over the outer face and side edges of each cover of a book, thereby protecting a corner of the book cover. The reinforcing elements include a resilient, pliable material.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for migrating configuration data from an existing program to a replacement program, in response, for example, to a command by an external agent. In preferred embodiments, an existing program is modified according to the invention to add functionality to obtain pertinent configuration data from such sources available to the existing program as its internal tables, configuration files, and run-time commands, and then to write a configuration file containing configuration data formatted for use by the replacement program. The program's internal tables may often contain configuration data which is not always available to the replacement program e.g. command line parameters, data provided through receipt of messages from other programs, etc. The invention advantageously makes voluminous formatted configuration data available to the replacement program in order to expeditiously provide a basis for its initial operation after installation.
