Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a processing circuit and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processing circuit. The logic is configured to cause the processing circuit to handle Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) messages received from other devices in a network. Also, the logic is configured to cause the processing circuit to create a general query solicit (GQS) message configured to solicit a general query (GQ) from a multicast snooping querier coupled with the apparatus. The GQS message causes the multicast snooping querier to send out a general query (GQ) message on all ports in response to receiving the GQS message. The GQ message is configured to solicit port information and group membership information from each IGMP switch in the network. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in more embodiments.

Abstract: Managing traffic on a distributed system includes partitioning VCE load balancers of the distributed system among service virtual server instances (SVSIs) of the distributed system, each service virtual server instance (SVSI) being identical in function and deployed across two or more regions of the distributed system. The method further includes: periodically polling, by each SVSI each other of the SVSIs; monitoring, by each SVSI, a load on each VCE load balancer for which it is responsible, resulting in a monitored load; recovering, by an SVSI from a failure of VCE load balancer(s) for which it is responsible; automatically adjusting, by an SVSI a capacity of a VCE load balancer for which it is responsible based on a corresponding monitored load; and repartitioning, by the distributed system, in response to an SVSI failure, the VCE load balancers among remaining SVSIs.

Abstract: In a load balancing environment, a method, system, and computer program product may balance workloads by deploying one or more applications, defining a priority for a first application of the one or more applications, assigning a set of dynamic resources to the first application, configuring a set of burst reserves for the first application, configuring a schedule for the priority for the first application, configuring an elastic load balancer to manage the workload of the first application according to the priority and scheduling using the set of dynamic resources and burst reserves, and executing the one or more applications.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a processing circuit and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processing circuit. The logic is configured to cause the processing circuit to handle Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) messages received from other devices in a network. Also, the logic is configured to cause the processing circuit to create a general query solicit (GQS) message configured to solicit a general query (GQ) from a multicast snooping querier coupled with the apparatus. The GQS message causes the multicast snooping querier to send out a general query (GQ) message on all ports in response to receiving the GQS message. The GQ message is configured to solicit port information and group membership information from each IGMP switch in the network. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in more embodiments.

Abstract: A method of path selection in shared-mesh restoration networks that results in efficient use of network resources, using only the network state information available locally at each network element.

Abstract: A search key having a first length is presented to a universal hashing process. The search key is hashed using a universal hash function to generate a bucket ID having a second length, smaller than the first length. The bucket ID is used to address a table stored in a computer readable medium and a pointer is retrieved from an associated storage location. The pointer is used to index a hash bucket containing one or more entries, each of which can be compared to the search key to determine whether any of the entries match the search key. For the case where the method is used in a Ethernet switch, the search key may comprise a virtual LAN identification and media access control address. The table is made up of number of hash buckets, each of which may have one or more entries. New entries are stored in one of the hash buckets according to the universal hash function so long as no overflows of any hash bucket would be created.
