A method operates at the data link level. Each bridge associates, during a guard time, the port through which a frame is first received with a source MAC address until a unicast reply frame confirms the matching two-way path between the source and destination addresses. Any frame from the same source received through another different port is discarded. Each bridge forwards the received broadcast frames through the rest of the ports, except those involving prohibited (down-up) turns, and deviates (or optionally returns) the unicast frames with an unknown or aged destination address through the spanning tree. The protocol can operate with encapsulation in the border bridges or without encapsulation, using in this case the replacement of universal MAC addresses in the border bridges with local MAC addresses. The establishment and control of paths can optionally be performed proactively by the border bridges, especially the bridges connected to servers.

In the embodiments of the present invention, a control command is encapsulated into a network data packet to be sent to a remote network driver interface specification (RNDIS) device, and the encapsulated network data packet is sent to the RNDIS device to control the RNDIS device. In the conventional network architecture, a user device can directly send a network data packet to an RNDIS device. Therefore, with this solution, a control command can be transmitted to the RNDIS device without adding a new control interface. Compared with the solution that requires adding a new interface and installing an additional driver program in the prior art, this solution reduces application complexity and has no special requirement for the RNDIS device, which is commonly applicable and easy to implement.

Parameterized recursive network architecture with topological addressing

Номер: US20120089721A1
Автор: John D. Day
Принадлежит: Tria Network Systems LLC

A digital data communications network that supports efficient, scalable routing of data and use of network resources by combining a recursive division of the network into hierarchical sub-networks with repeating parameterized general purpose link communication protocols and an addressing methodology that reflects the physical structure of the underlying network hardware. The sub-division of the network enhances security by reducing the amount of the network visible to an attack and by insulating the network hardware itself from attack. The fixed bandwidth range at each sub-network level allows quality of service to be assured and controlled. The routing of data is aided by a topological addressing scheme that allows data packets to be forwarded towards their destination based on only local knowledge of the network structure, with automatic support for mobility and multicasting. The repeating structures in the network greatly simplify network management and reduce the effort to engineer new network capabilities

A root cause analysis engine uses event survival times and gradual deletion of events to improve analysis accuracy and reduce the number of required calculations. Certainty factors of relevant rules are recalculated every time notification of an event is received. The calculation results are held in a rule memory in the analysis engine. Each event has a survival time, and when the time has expired, that event is deleted from the rule memory. Events held in the rule memory can be deleted without affecting other events held in the rule memory. The analysis engine can then re-calculate the certainty factor of each rule by only performing the re-calculation with respect to affected rules that are related with the deleted event. The calculation cost can be reduced because analysis engine processes events incrementally or decrementally.

Globally sound and consistent configuration management for distributed datacenter components

Номер: US20120151443A1
Автор: Henning Korsholm Rohde, Kenneth Kai-Baun Ma, Matthew Kerner
Принадлежит: Microsoft Corp

Datacenter configuration needs to be managed. A configuration engine (CE) manages configuration data of clusters and/or datacenters. The CE allows users to check out, edit, and check in configuration components. Versioned interfaces are placed between configuration components through data contracts. The CE supports the expression of constraints that ensure global consistency across configuration components and versions, isolates changes in the datacenter from structural changes in configuration components, and enables partial configuration branching to allow for active snapshots that enable configuration rollback. The CE ensures that types are consistent and constraints are satisfied at check-in time to eliminate unsound or inconsistent configuration in the first place. When the active configuration in the datacenter changes, multiple versions of configuration may be simultaneously deployed for a window of time. The managed set of configuration is permitted to have multiple active versions during these transitional windows to reflect the reality in the datacenter.
