Abstract: A wireless interface system includes a wireless network interface, with a virtual Ethernet interface, that is configured to transmit and receive signals over a wireless channel using a predetermined wireless technology protocol. A method for abstracting a wireless interface protocol to an Ethernet protocol includes detecting, with a wireless network interface, access by a wireless device using the wireless interface protocol. A virtual Ethernet interface is created having an associated Ethernet interface ID. The wireless device ID is associated with the Ethernet interface ID in a table in memory. A payload from the wireless device is transmitted over the wireless technology protocol. The payload is transmitted to the virtual Ethernet interface using the Ethernet protocol.

Abstract: A method comprising receiving, by a processing thread executing on a host server, a container request to create a container on the host server by employing a container engine, wherein the container request indicates a first resource constraint and a second resource constraint for executing an application within the container, directing, by the processing thread, the container engine to create an operating environment for the container according to the first resource constraint and to execute the container on the host server, reserving, by the processing thread, a first resource from an operating system (OS) of the host server according to the second resource constraint of the container request, and updating dynamically, by the processing thread, the operating environment of the container to enable the container to directly utilize the reserved first resource for execution of the application to meet the second resource constraint of the container request.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is described that provides for switching active data connections from one processor to another processor without significantly interfering with the transmission of the data. The data may be voice calls and the processors may be DSPs residing on a voice processing module. A DSP resource allocation algorithm may be used to load share the data by selectively moving an active voice call currently being processed on one DSP to another DSP having sufficiently available processing power, without interrupting the prevailing service. The liberated DSP may then be used to process a new active voice call. By using the DSPs to load share, the number of simultaneous active voice calls supported by a voice processing module may be increased.
