摘要:
The method includes receiving, by a data plane definition language compiler, a first data plane definition describing customized functionality of a data plane of a first network application, and compiling the data plane definition to generate a first set of customized data processing modules and a program interface that allows a control plane of the network application to access the first set of customized data processing modules. The method also includes loading the first set of customized data processing modules into a data plane container, wherein the network application is executed via a network operating system, and wherein, upon execution of the network application the customized data processing module causes the data plane container of the network application to process packets differently than prior to loading the customized data processing module in the data plane container.

Techniques are described for securely booting and executing a virtual machine (VM) image in an untrusted cloud infrastructure. A multi-core processor may be configured with additional hardware components—referred to as a trust anchor. The trust anchor may be provisioned with a private/public key pair, which allows the multi-core CPU to authenticate itself as being able to securely boot and execute a virtual machine (VM) image in an untrusted cloud infrastructure.

A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for use of a connectivity manager and a network infrastructure including the same. In one embodiment, the network infrastructure comprises one or more physical devices communicably coupled into a physical network infrastructure or via the overlay provided by the physical servers; and a virtual network domain containing a virtual network infrastructure executing on the physical network infrastructure. In one embodiment, the virtual network domain comprises one or more virtual network functions connected together through one or more links and executing on the one or more physical devices, and one or more interfaces coupled to one or more network functions via one or more links to communicate data between the virtual network domain and at least one of the one or more physical devices of the physical network infrastructure while the virtual network domain is isolated from other virtual infrastructures executing on the physical network infrastructure.

Techniques for memory compartmentalization for trusted execution of a virtual machine (VM) on a multi-core processing architecture are described. Memory compartmentalization may be achieved by encrypting layer 3 (L3) cache lines using a key under the control of a given VM within the trust boundaries of the processing core on which that VMs is executed. Further, embodiments described herein provide an efficient method for storing and processing encryption related metadata associated with each encrypt/decrypt operation performed for the L3 cache lines.
摘要:
An architecture, arrangement, system, and method for or controlling traffic flow into and out of a server farm having active-active stateful devices. A symmetric Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (sGLBP) eliminates asymmetric traffic flow for out-bound traffic. Load distribution for in-bound traffic is balanced between a redundant pair of aggregation switches using either static host routes, Route Health Injection or in a more general manner, with external routes with a mask longer than the connected subnet advertised by the routing protocol. The return traffic is symmetric because it returns through the same aggregation switch that it came from. Similarly, traffic originating from a server farm exits from one of the redundant aggregation switches and returns from the same aggregation switch.

摘要:
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus configured to provide for the trusted execution of virtual machines (VMs) on a virtualization server, e.g., for executing VMs on a virtualization server provided within Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud environment. A physical multi-core CPU may be configured with a hardware trust anchor. The trust anchor itself may be configured to manage session keys used to encrypt/decrypt instructions and data when a VM (or hypervisor) is executed on one of the CPU cores. When a context switch occurs due to an exception, the trust anchor swaps the session key used to encrypt/decrypt the contents of memory and cache allocated to a VM (or hypervisor).
