  • Patent number: 11917523
    Abstract: A polymorphic network control system and a polymorphic network control system method supporting terminal mobile access. A network architecture is redesigned based on the idea of separation of an identifier from a locator. In this network mode, the three-layer protocol is no longer a traditional IP message, but a message carrying a locator and an identifier. The polymorphic SDN network controller is responsible for forwarding the data packet to a destination corresponding to a destination locator. When the network location of a mobile device is changed, the transmission connection established based on the identifier will suspend communication due to the disconnection of the physical link. When the mobile device is re-accessed and a new forwarding path is established, the transmission connection can recover communication.

  • Patent number: 11870560
    Abstract: A geographical identification forwarding method for area-oriented addressing. The geographic location information is used as a transmission identification, and the communication process based on the geographical identification is realized by constructing the SDN-based geographical identification transmission architecture. In this method, a geographical identification is used instead of a traditional IP identification for network transmission, which effectively alleviates the problem of narrow waist of IP single bearing in the current network. At the same time, through a flow table decomposition design, the flow table size of the switch is effectively controlled. The method provided by the present invention can be extended to a plurality of geographical identification areas to realize large-area real-time cross-domain transmission.

  • Patent number: 11848910
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for resiliently associating Internet Protocol (IP) addresses with pods that each have unique identifiers (IDs) in a managed cluster of worker nodes managed by a first set of one or more controllers of the managed cluster. The resilient association between IP addresses and pods is maintained even when pods are moved between worker nodes. At a second set of controllers, the method receives notification regarding deployment, on a first worker node, of a stateful pod associated with a particular ID. The method allocates an IP address to the stateful pod. The method creates a mapping between the IP address and the particular ID in order to maintain the allocation of the IP address to the stateful pod. The method provides the IP address to the first set of controllers to use for the stateful pod.

By adopting a single-block index sorting algorithm, the de-duplicating ordering in the data blocks is completed without dropping operation, and the processed data blocks and a matrix hash index table are respectively generated and saved as initial data after completion. For the subsequent incremental data, the inter-block index-sorting algorithm is adopted, and the processed data blocks and the matrix hash index table are loaded in turn. The data is preliminarily screened on the basis of the matrix hash index table, and an incremental binary search algorithm is used for fine screening. Finally, the indexing and de-duplication screening of all data are completed.
