Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed to techniques and mechanisms that provide reliable packet delivery in cloud computing environments. For example, an aspect of the disclosed technology is a process that replicates an original packet at the guest layer or within a virtual machine (VM) of a cloud computing system, adds different flow labels to the packet copies and original packet at the guest layer or virtualization layer, and maps two or more of the copies and original packets to different tunnels between source and destination nodes.

Abstract: A projectile includes an instant adhesive rubber directly connected to a high tensile strength rope and a water parachute. The projectile can be aimed at, for example, the front one-third of the vessel. Upon impact, an energetic material, such as lead azide, can be initiated to push the rubber onto the vessel and simultaneously deploy the water parachute. The parachute may be weighted to cause the parachute to submerge in the water. A tension generated by the vessel dragging the water parachute would arrest the motion and limit the speed and mobility of the vessel without significant damage to the surface vessel or occupants.
