Abstract:
The data center (DC) linking system provides a line under specified communication conditions to each tenant, wherein in each DC, a virtual network identifier (i) and/or (ii) serving as a communication type identifier which separates communications of each tenant of each of a plurality of DCs and a virtual network identifier (iii) which is provided by a carrier and serves as a line identifier which separates a plurality of communications having different communication conditions are identified and managed in association with each other; and the communications of each tenant are identified on the basis of the communication type identifier. Any one line identifier for allocating a line having a communication condition desired by a tenant is assigned to each communication identified on the basis of communication content in a transmitting side DC.
Abstract:
The number of IP pools is increased independently of the number of network interfaces coupled to an external network. In response to a registration request requesting registration of an IP address pool, which is a part of an IP address space, in a first network, a control apparatus is configured to cause a processor to execute: generating a logical interface configured to operate as a logical network interface; logically coupling the logical interface to a logical switch; generating a NAT module logically coupled to a second network interface and configured to mutually convert an IP address in the IP address pool and an IP address in a second network; and logically coupling the NAT module to the logical interface.
Abstract:
A network system, having: a gateway apparatus set in a network; a physical computer coupled to the gateway apparatus; a virtualization unit that allocates computer resources of the physical computer to virtual machines; and a management computer that manages the physical computer, the virtualization unit, and the gateway apparatus, wherein the management computer includes: a network mapping unit that controls the gateway apparatus by configuring settings in a virtual network and another gateway apparatus and a VLAN coupled to the virtual network; and a virtualization management unit that controls the virtualization unit, wherein the virtualization unit includes: a virtual port coupled to the virtual machines; and a virtual switch that configures settings for the VLAN coupling the virtual port to the gateway apparatus, and wherein the gateway apparatus converts transmissions between a format of the VLAN and a format of the virtual network and performs transmission.
Abstract:
There is provided a management apparatus including a system configuration information management unit that manages coupling of a virtual switch and a network apparatus; a server information management unit that manages a multicast address to be used as a destination address when communication of a virtual server is converted into multicast communication; a multicast tree management unit that calculates a transfer route for a multicast packet on multiple physical routes; and a switch control unit that notifies the virtual switch or the network apparatus of the transfer route for the multicast packet that has been calculated by the multicast tree management unit, and thereby controls the transfer route for the multicast packet.
Abstract:
A management apparatus executes: receiving from a given communication apparatus where a fault has occurred, fault information; selecting a given flow that passes through the given communication apparatus from among a group of flows on the basis of the identification information of the given communication apparatus included in the fault information; determining whether the communication pattern of the given flow is similar to the given time series data indicating the change over time of the traffic within a period from a set period prior to the fault occurrence date and time to the fault occurrence date and time for the given flow; calculating the certainty that the given flow has been transmitted on the fault occurrence date and time on the basis of a frequency of appearance of the traffic of the communication pattern determined to be similar; and outputting calculation results.
Abstract:
A management apparatus that manages a network apparatus having a packet control function, wherein the network apparatus has configuration information that sets the control function, and wherein the management apparatus has: parameter information that manages settings of the control function of the network apparatus; and an inconsistent data detection module that obtains the configuration information from the network apparatus, and upon comparison of the configuration information with the parameter information, detects, as inconsistent data, information that does not match.
Abstract:
A management computer coupled to a network device comprises: a processor; and a storage unit that stores effect determination information that defines conditions for determining an effect of an operation by the network device, the conditions being applied to a combination of setting items for the network device, and wherein the processor executes: to select, from among the combination of setting items, a specific combination matching a combination of a first setting item for the network device and a second setting item associated with the first setting item; to determine whether or not the combination of the first setting item and the second setting item satisfies the conditions applied to the specific combination if the specific combination is selected; to identify the presence or absence of an effect resulting from an operation of the network device on the basis of determination results; and to output identification results.
Abstract:
In a traffic information collection system in which a collection node collecting collection information regarding traffic acquired by nodes on a network identifies a collection point of the collection information, a transmission node to transmit the collection information from a designated transmission port and a collection control node are included. The collection control node manages a connection relation of the transmission port of the transmission node and a reception IF of the collection node. The collection control node determines the reception IF of the collection node receiving the collection information acquired at a designated collection point of any node. The collection control node designates the transmission port connected to the determined reception IF with respect to the transmission node and outputs the collection information from the designated transmission port. The collection control node informs the collection node of correspondence information of the collection point and the reception IF.
Abstract:
There is provided a method of constructing a logical network which determines a network apparatus of a deployment location and a middlebox apparatus when the logical network is constructed on a physical network to which the network apparatus, the middlebox apparatus, and a physical server are coupled, in which an abstract configuration of the logical network and logical network information including a performance requirement with respect to a configuration element are received, and the network apparatus which become a deployment location of the logical network and the middlebox apparatus are determined according to the abstract configuration of the logical network and the performance requirement.
Abstract:
In an MB management system, a user who wishes to use a network service sends MB requirements from a user terminal to a network management apparatus, which is managed by a provider who provides a network service. The network management apparatus returns to the user terminal abstract models as a guide for the performance and the like of MBs that are available in the network service and that meet the MB requirements. The user operates the user terminal to select an MB that the user is to use from among the provided abstract models. The user also receives via the user terminal from the network management apparatus the operational status of an instance of the MB selected from among the abstract models. This allows the user to compare the MB requirements presented by the user and the actual operational status of the MB instance.
