  • Logical switch architecture for network virtualization
    Patent number: 10291553
    Abstract: A tool for partitioning a switch into one or more logical switches in a distributed system. The tool creates, by one or more computer processors, one or more logical switch routers, based, at least in part, on a user configuration. The tool assigns, by one or more computer processors, based, at least in part, on a user configuration, one or more ports to the one or more logical switch routers. The tool manages, by one or more computer processors, the one or more logical switch routers.
    Type: Grant

  • Virtual port support in a logical switch architecture
    Patent number: 10277422
    Abstract: A tool for assigning virtual port channels to one or more logical switch routers in a distributed system. The tool receives, by one or more computer processors, a request to assign a virtual port channel to a second logical switch router. The tool sends, by one or more computer processors, a request to negotiate a link-down on the channel on a first logical switch router to a universal fiber port on the first logical switch router for processing. The tool sends, by one or more computer processors, a request to create the channel on the second logical switch router to a second interface manager on the second logical switch router for processing. The tool sends, by one or more computer processors, a request to negotiate a link up on the channel on the second logical switch router to the universal fiber port on the first logical switch router for processing.

  • Load distribution of logical switch routers in a distributed system
    Patent number: 9740527
    Abstract: A tool for supporting load distribution across one or more logical switch routers in a distributed system. The tool includes a first software module configurable to launch and monitor one or more application processes within the one or more logical switch routers in the distributed system. The tool includes a second software module configurable to manage a plurality of system information for the one or more logical switch routers in the distributed system. The tool includes a third software module configurable to control and manage a plurality of system resources in the distributed system. The tool includes a fourth software module configurable to control and manage a plurality of physical ports and a plurality of virtual ports in the distributed system. The tool includes a fifth software module configurable to manage a plurality of load distribution policies for the one or more logical switch routers in the distributed system.
