Abstract: Some embodiments provide novel methods for performing services for machines operating in one or more datacenters. For instance, for a group of related guest machines (e.g., a group of tenant machines), some embodiments define two different forwarding planes: (1) a guest forwarding plane and (2) a service forwarding plane. The guest forwarding plane connects to the machines in the group and performs L2 and/or L3 forwarding for these machines. The service forwarding plane (1) connects to the service nodes that perform services on data messages sent to and from these machines, and (2) forwards these data messages to the service nodes. In some embodiments, the guest machines do not connect directly with the service forwarding plane. For instance, in some embodiments, each forwarding plane connects to a machine or service node through a port that receives data messages from, or supplies data messages to, the machine or service node.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for computing service paths for a service chain identifying a sequence of services. One method includes including information about a plurality of hosts in a heap. Each of the plurality of hosts includes at least one service virtual computing instance (SVCI) configured to provide at least one of the services of the service chain. The information includes, for each of the plurality of hosts, a number of service paths computed for the service chain at the host and one of a number of services provided by unused SVCIs of the host or a number of consecutive services provided by unused SVCIs of the host. The method further includes selecting a host from the heap based on the information. The method further includes generating a first service path for the service chain, the first service path identifying at least one SVCI of the selected host.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to manage and identify host spans of logical entities in software defined networks. In one example, a control system may identify a first graph that includes nodes that represent logical entities and hosts and further includes directional edges that represent a topology of the logical entities and hosts. The control system further identifies groups of strongly connected components in the first graph and generates a second graph based on the identified groups. The second graph includes nodes that represent the groups and any nodes of the first graph not included in the groups, and further includes directional edges that indicate a topology of the nodes. The control system may then follow the directional edges of the second graph to allocate host spans to the logical entities represented in the nodes.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for assigning different service path identifiers to each of a set of different service paths along each of which a same set of service operations are performed on a set of packets. The method retrieves an available service path identifier from an identifier storage that stores service path identifiers for multiple service paths. The method generates a set of proposed service path identifiers based on the retrieved available service path identifier and the number of service paths in the set of service paths. The method performs a write operation on the identifier storage based on the set of proposed service path identifiers, and based on a determination that the write operation was successful, assigns the set of proposed service path identifiers to the set of service paths. Based on the set of service path identifiers, the method forwards the set of packets along the set of service paths.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the synthesis technology field of inorganic functional materials, and particularly provides a self-balanced high-pressure and high-shear autoclave and its application in the preparation of layered double hydroxides (LDHs). In this invention, by imbedding the handpiece of emulsification mill into the autoclave, and by taking the motor driving system outside of the autoclave, the pressure of the autoclave can be highly stable by the use of self-balanced seal gland. These characters solve the problem that the typical emulsification mill cannot be used in high-pressure system, and ensure the crystallization under the high-pressure and high-shear conditions. Such autoclave takes the advantages of additional equipment, and eliminates the volume effect in the amplification process. By the use of this new autoclave, the reaction time can be shorten from 24 hours to 2-6 hours, the reaction temperature can be reduced from 180° C. to 140° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method for a UV-shielding material based on Mg—Al Layered Double Hydroxide. The material with multi-layered overlay structure is made from Mg—Al double hydroxide layers and interlayer carbonate, its molecular composition is: Mg1-xAlx(OH)2(CO3)x/2.mH2O. The inorganic layers of this material can play a physical shielding role against UV, and the metal elements dispersed on the layer as well as the interlayer anion can play a great role in the chemical absorbing. In addition, by controlling the particle size and the amount of the layers, UV light can be effectively shielded by multi-level reflection and absorption of the multi-level layered structure. Therefore, the material with multi-level chemical and physical shielding properties has a good UV barrier effect for the anti-ageing asphalt, and could significantly increase its UV resistance properties.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clean method for preparing layered double hydroxides (LDHs), in which hydroxides of different metals are used as starting materials for production of LDHs by atom-economical reactions. The atom efficiency of the reaction is 100% in each case because all the atoms of the reactants are converted into the target product since only M2+(OH)2, M3+(OH)3, and CO2 or HnAn? are used, without any NaOH or other materials. Since there is no by-product, filtration or washing process is unnecessary. The consequent reduction in water consumption is also beneficial to the environment.
