Abstract: Example methods and systems for container-based connectivity check in a software-defined networking (SDN) environment are disclosed. One example method may comprise detecting, a request for a connectivity check between a first container-based resource and a second container-based resource; identifying a first logical network element and a second logical network element; and injecting a connectivity check packet at the first logical network element for forwarding towards the second logical network element. The example method also may comprise: obtaining report information associated with one or more intermediate logical network elements located along a path that is traversed by the connectivity check packet; and determining a connectivity status associated with the first container-based resource and the second container-based resource based on the report information.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for container-based network policy configuration in a software-defined networking (SDN) environment are disclosed. One example method may comprise: in response to detecting a first request to assign a container-based resource with a first label via a container orchestration system, assigning a logical network element associated with the container-based resource with a second label. The example method may also comprise: in response to detecting a second request to configure a container-based network policy associated with the container-based resource via the container orchestration system, identifying the logical network element by mapping the first label to the second label; and configuring the container-based network policy to be applicable to network traffic that is forwarded via the logical network element.

Abstract: A carrier member includes a first section, a second section, and a third section. The first section has a first length. The second section has a second length. The first section, the third section, and the second section connect sequentially and form a U-shaped structure. The first section and the second section have curved sections. The third section has a flat section. When the second section moves relative to the first section, the first section or the second section having the curved section transform into the third section having the flat section and store a resilient recovering force, and the third section having the flat section transforms into the first section or the second section having the curved section for adjusting lengths of the first section and the second section, which prevents a cable disposed on the carrier member from interfering with other mechanism or getting knotted.
