  • Establishing translation for virtual machines in a network environment
    Patent number: 9680968
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer readable medium, and system that includes receiving an indication identifying a tunnel between a first virtual machine, associated with a first protocol, and a second virtual machine, associated with a second protocol, determining that the first protocol is different than the second protocol, determining at least one translation directive that specifies for translation between the first protocol and the second protocol for the tunnel, and causing establishment of a translator based, at least in part, on the translation directive is disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2017
    Assignee: PATENT CAPITAL GROUP
    Inventors: Debojyoti Dutta, Kyle A. D. Mestery
  • Binary compatible extension architecture in an openflow compliant network environment
    Patent number: 9379973
    Abstract: An example method for a binary compatible extension architecture in an OpenFlow compliant network environment is provided and includes receiving a packet on an extension port from an Open vSwitch (OVS) component of a virtual switch configured for an OpenFlow protocol, performing fast path processing on the packet in a kernel space under control of a switch data path in a user space; and sending the packet on the extension port for a subsequent delivery to its destination from an output port of the virtual switch.
