Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method of implementing a packet capture ring. The packet capture ring includes a plurality of appliances, and the plurality of appliances includes a first appliance and a second appliance. The first appliance and the second appliance are both attached to a network tap, and the first appliance works as a master appliance. The master appliance ingests packets from the network tap, encapsulates the packets and forwards encapsulated packets in the packet capture ring. The method includes: detecting, by the second appliance, a failure of the first appliance; working, by the second appliance, as the master appliance; and removing, by the second appliance, the first appliance from a forwarding designation list.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a packet capture ring that provides a single network tap for packet capture and a series of processors (or appliances) for handling serialization and search request processing in a confederated and highly scalable manner. One such appliance (a “primary” appliance) maintains a tap port to the network. Each packet capture appliance has a locally attached repository that stores raw packets and a juxtaposed index that allows for retrieval of those packets. The primary appliance sends a single copy of encapsulated packets in opposite directions around the ring to its descendants. A designation is made across the system as to a “currently designated” appliance for servicing requests for indexing and storage of captured packets. This current designation shifts from appliance to appliance in the system, as a “previously designated” appliance has its storage capacity filled.

Abstract: A method includes identifying high-availability jobs and low-availability jobs that demand usage of resources of a distributed system. The method includes determining a first quota of the resources available to low-availability jobs as a quantity of the resources available during normal operations, and determining a second quota of the resources available to high-availability jobs as a quantity of the resources available during normal operations minus a quantity of the resources lost due to a tolerated event. The method includes executing the jobs on the distributed system and constraining a total usage of the resources by both the high-availability jobs and the low-availability jobs to the quantity of the resources available during normal operations.
