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: Methods and apparatus for non-sequential packet transfer. Prior art multi-processor devices implement a complete network communications stack at each processor. The disclosed embodiments provide techniques for delivering network layer (L3) and/or transport layer (L4) data payloads in the order of receipt, rather than according to the data link layer (L2) order. The described techniques enable e.g., earlier packet delivery. Such design topologies can operate within a substantially smaller memory footprint compared to prior art solutions. As a related benefit, applications that are unaffected by data link layer corruptions can receive data immediately (rather than waiting for the re-transmission of an unrelated L4 data flow) and thus the overall network latency can be greatly reduced and user experience can be improved.

Abstract: A general load balancing value for a packet received by a network device is generated based at least in part on information in a header of the packet. The packet is directed to a network interface group comprising a set of network interfaces via which the packet can be transmitted towards a destination of the packet. A group-specific load balancing value for the packet is then determined based on group-specific load balancing configuration corresponding to the network interface group and is used to select a network interface, from among the set of network interfaces, and the packet is transmitted towards the destination of the packet via the selected network interface. The group-specific load balancing configuration corresponding to the network interface group is subsequently reconfigured to redistribute selection of network interfaces, among the set of network interfaces, for transmission of packets subsequently directed to the network interface group.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of data communication, and provides a network congestion notification method, an agent node, and a computer device. When receiving a first data packet, an agent node adds a source queue pair number to a first data packet to obtain a second data packet, and sends the second data packet to a receive end by using a network node. In a process of forwarding the second data packet, if the network node detects network congestion, the network node generates a first congestion notification packet carrying the source queue pair number, and sends the first congestion notification packet to the agent node. Further, the agent node sends the first congestion notification packet to a transmit end, so that the transmit end decreases a sending rate of a data flow to which the first data packet belongs.
