Abstract: A crowd-sourced cloud environment allows for, and benefits from, modes of interaction between among the service providers (including the “resource providers” and the “cloud provider”) and consumers (also referred to herein as “tenants”) that are not practiced in a DC-centric cloud environment—specifically, the use of Internet-based social networking technology and Internet-based online marketplace technology to facilitate resource pooling and interaction between crowd-sourced cloud resource providers, the cloud provider, and crowd-sourced cloud consumers.

Abstract: One embodiment includes multiple distribution nodes sending packets of different ordered sets of packets among multiple packet switching devices arranged in a single stage topology to reach a reordering node. The reordering node receives these packets sent over the different paths and stores them in reordering storage, such as, but not limited to, in queues for each distribution node and packet switching device combination. The reordering node sends packets stored in the reordering storage from the reordering node in original orderings. In response to determining that an aggregation quantum of packets received from the multiple distribution nodes via a particular packet switching device and stored in the reordering storage is outside a range or value, packets being communicated via the particular packet switching device to the reordering node are rate limited.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for compiling abstract application and associated service models into deployable descriptors under control of a series of policies, maintaining and enforcing dependencies between policies and applications/services, and deploying policies as regularly managed policy applications themselves. In particular, an orchestration system includes one or more policy applications that are executed to apply policies to a deployable application or service in a computing environment. In general, the orchestration system operates to create one or more solution models for execution of an application on one or more computing environments (such as one or more cloud computing environments) based on a received request for deployment.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for (a) model distributed applications for multi-cloud deployments, (b) derive, by way of policy, executable orchestrator descriptors, (c) model underlying (cloud) services (private, public, server-less and virtual-private) as distributed applications themselves, (d) dynamically create such cloud services if these are unavailable for the distributed application, (e) manage those resources equivalent to the way distributed applications are managed; and (f) present how these techniques are stackable. As applications may be built on top of cloud services, which themselves can be built on top of other cloud services (e.g., virtual private clouds on public cloud, etc.) even cloud services themselves may be considered applications in their own right, thus supporting putting cloud services on top of other cloud services.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for providing optimal route reflector (ORR) root address assignment to route reflector clients and fast failover capabilities in an autonomous system, including identifying a first node in an autonomous system as a candidate root node of a first routing group, identifying a client node based on a neighbor address used in a first routing protocol, mapping the neighbor address to routing information received from the client node via a second routing protocol, and associating the neighbor address with the first routing group if the routing information includes an identifier of the first routing group. In more specific embodiments, identifying the first node as a candidate root node includes determining the first node and the first routing group are advertised in a first protocol packet, and determining the first node and the second routing group are advertised in a second protocol packet.

Abstract: In one embodiment, multicast packets including, but not limited to, Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) multicast packets, are forwarded in a network. An independent lookup operation is performed on each destination node identified in the received packet to determine a nexthop to which to forward a copy of the packet. Typically, some or possibly all of these lookup operations are performed in parallel, in contrast to the sequential lookup and bit masking operations of previous BIER packet forwarding specifications and implementations. In one embodiment, the selection of a nexthop for a destination node is made from a set of two or more nexthop nodes on different Equal-Cost Multi-Paths (ECMPs). In one embodiment, compact data structures are used in determining how to forward the received multicast packet, with these compact data structures providing requisite forwarding information without allocating space to unassigned destination nodes.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a DNS request, notifying a serverless orchestrator system of data associated with the DNS request, provisioning a function on a serverless function node based on the DNS request, notifying a load balancer regarding the serverless function node, providing a response to the DNS request and routing an API request associated with the DNS request to the serverless function node.
