Abstract: A flow entry management method comprises receiving a management instruction for any flow entry, where the management instruction is initiated by a controller connected to a switch, wherein the switch may first determine, according to an obtained management authority level of the the controller relative to the switch and a security level of the any flow entry, when the management authority level of the any controller relative to the the switch is not lower than the security level of the a flow entry corresponding to the management instruction initiated by the any controller, that the controller has an authority to perform corresponding management on the any flow entry, and perform corresponding management on the any flow entry according to the management instruction initiated by the controller.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an effective stress cell for direct measurement of effective stress in saturated soil. The effective stress cell comprises a sensing diaphragm, a porous diaphragm, a connector and a strain sensor. The porous diaphragm allows pore-water to enter the interior space between the sensing diaphragm and the porous diaphragm to provide complete balance of pore-water pressures in the front and back of the sensing diaphragm. Thus, the effective stress cell can directly and accurately measure the effective stress in saturated soil using only one diaphragm at one location without measuring pore-water pressure.

Abstract: A data packet forwarding method and a network device, where the method includes, receiving a data packet, obtaining a local physical address and a destination physical address of the data packet when the entry matching the data packet does not exist in the first match table, determining whether the local physical address is the same as the destination physical address, searching a second match table for an entry in which a physical address matches the destination physical address when the local physical address is different from the destination physical address, generating a layer 2 forwarding entry according to the entry matching the destination physical address, and forwarding the data packet according to the layer 2 forwarding entry. Therefore, processing efficiency of the new data packet and network performance are improved.

Abstract: A data transmission method in software-defined networking (SDN) environment using transmission control protocol (TCP). An application server sends a transmission resource allocation request to a controller. The request carries an address of a sending device and an address of a receiving device. The controller determines a first transmission path and a second transmission path between the sending device and the receiving device according to the request. The first transmission path is used by the sending device to transmit data to the receiving device, and the second transmission path is used by the receiving device to transmit an acknowledgment to the sending device. The controller sends a transmission resource allocation response to the application server. The application server determines, according to the response, an initial value of a transmit window for transmitting data. The sending device transmits the data to the receiving device according to the transmit window.

Abstract: A data packet processing method, Where the method includes matching a received data packet in a flow table, and determining the received data packet as a newly-established data packet, where the newly-established data packet is a data packet that needs to be reported to a controller to determine a processing manner, determining a target priority of the newly-established data packet, and reporting the newly-established data packet to the controller according to the target priority. Priorities of data packets entering an OPENFLOW switch are determined, and for unsuccessfully matched data packets, a data packet having a high priority is forwarded preferentially according to the priorities, thereby ensuring that data having a high priority is not discarded.

Abstract: An intestinal microorganism metagenomic feature is a bacteroid intestinal pattern. By using the intestinal metagenomic pattern, it was found that type 2 diabetic patients with different intestinal parasitic bacterial flora had remarkably different responses to treatment with the diabetic hypoglycemic drug acarbose. Therefore, before treatments, the intestinal patterns of the patients can be assessed to select those patients likely to experience optimal curative effects, and to determine whether acarbose is suitable for the treatment of individual patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition, while intestinal patterns are conventionally distinguished by DNA sequencing or PCT amplification of parasitic bacteria in excrements, the intestinal patterns can be well distinguished using a bile acid composition, especially secondary bile acids, under baseline conditions. The intestinal patterns can be identified through markers in blood, and then be used as markers for diagnosis.
