  • Publication number: 20240146806
    Abstract: An intermediate device 10A includes a transfer unit 11 that transfers a request including data to be transmitted from a local 30 to a remote 50, and a generation unit 12 that generates a pseudo-response to the request and returns the pseudo-response to the local 30. The intermediate device 10B includes a discard unit 13 that discards a response to the request from the remote 50. An intermediate device 20B includes a generation unit 22 that generates a pseudo-request based on an initial request for requesting data transmission from the local 30 to the remote 50 and transmits the pseudo-request to the remote 50, and a transfer unit 24 that transfers a response including data to be transmitted from the remote 50 to the local 30. The intermediate device 20A includes the discard unit 21 that discards a subsequent request from the local 30.

  • Patent number: 11924097
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to make it possible to measure an IP flow corresponding to time-varying, high-speed traffic. The present disclosure is a device that monitors traffic in a network, the device comprising a memory that records, for each flow in the network, metadata and flow information to be used in measurement, wherein a traffic state is forecasted using a packet flowing in the network; and a recording area for the metadata and the flow information in the memory is set based on the forecasted traffic state.

  • Publication number: 20240064077
    Abstract: The communication apparatus 1 includes: a processing device 20 that processes communication data to be transmitted to and received from a partner apparatus 2; a transmission unit 14 that transmits the communication data to the partner apparatus 2; an internal state measurement unit 11 that measures a state related to transmission of the communication data between the processing device 20 and the transmission unit 14; and a determination unit 13 that determines a communication mode in communication with the partner apparatus 2 from the state. The transmission unit 14 transmits the communication data to the partner apparatus 2 in the determined communication mode.

  • Publication number: 20230179516
    Abstract: It is an object of the present disclosure to render each module easily replaceable and facilitate construction of a system in which an existing application has been incorporated. The present disclosure provides a router device including: a routing module that performs a routing process on a packet; a functional module that executes any operation on the packet subjected to the routing process performed by the routing module; and a config module that sets a communication path that connects between the routing module and the functional module.

  • Publication number: 20230179894
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a data communication system, a computing apparatus, a data communication method, and a program, which are capable of highly reliable data transfer with low latency between computing apparatuses. The present disclosure achieves a highly reliable communication path by directly connecting computing apparatuses via an optical path and transmitting data through the optical path. Further, the present disclosure uses the optical path to achieve RDAM over wavelength transmission in which existing RDMA-enabled protocol stacks such as InfiniBand and TCP/IP/Ether are eliminated. The present disclosure eliminates the protocol stacks, enabling transfer with lower latency than in a case of “simply performing RDMA transmission over the wavelength path”.

  • Publication number: 20230146378
    Abstract: It is an object of the present disclosure to reduce a packet inflow into the OF controller and suppress a load on the OF controller. The present disclosure provides a packet transfer device, in which: an OpenFlow switch extracts a first packet of a protocol determined in advance, and extracts a second packet in accordance with a rule determined in advance; a NameSpace, connected to the OpenFlow switch via a virtual interface, responds to the extracted first packet to act as proxy for the OpenFlow switch; and a virtual machine, connected to the OpenFlow switch via a virtual interface, processes the extracted second packet to act as proxy for the OpenFlow switch.

  • Patent number: 11095519
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a network device and a method for setting the network device that can, in developing functional modules, perform abnormality detection based on statistical information and setting verification in consideration of a dependency relationship between the functional modules and statistical information and can address a change in a policy in the setting verification and a change in a condition in the abnormality detection. In the network device according to the present disclosure, an existing setting of each module, external information, a dependency relationship, and a policy are collected at one location (setting verification unit) by using a common language. When a new setting is made to the modules, a new dependency relationship is set, or new external information is acquired, the new setting is sent to the setting verification unit and checked against the existing setting, the external information, and the dependency relationship.
