Systems and methods are provided herein for implementing multi-table OpenFlow flows that have combinations of packet edits. This may be accomplished by a network device receiving a first flow entry with a first set of actions to be installed into a flow table. The network device may determine that the first set of actions includes edits to a plurality of fields of a matched data packet. In response, the network device may change the first set of actions of the first flow entry to edit a first field of the data packet and create a second flow entry with a second set of actions to edit a second field of the data packet. The network device may install the first and second flow entries into one or more flow tables of the network device.

This disclosure describes techniques for collecting network parameter data for network switches and/or physical servers and provisioning virtual resources of a service on physical servers based on network resource availability. The network parameter data may include network resource availability data, diagnostic constraint data, traffic flow data, etc. The techniques include determining network switches that have an availability of network resources to support a virtual resource on a connected physical server. A scheduler may deploy virtual machines to particular servers based on the network parameter data in lieu of, or in addition to, the server utilization data of the physical servers (e.g., CPU usage, memory usage, etc.). In this way, a virtual resource may be deployed to a physical server that has an availability of the server resources, but also is connected to a network switch with the availability of network resources to support the virtual resource.

In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for a flexible type-length-value (TLV) parser and identification map that may be used to quickly identify TLV sequences of packet headers for subsequent processing in a pipeline. A flexible TLV bus may provide a secondary path for the TLV header and identification map, allowing for subsequent processing stages to read, process, modify, delete, or otherwise utilize individual TLV sequences within the header.

Systems and methods for content aggregation creation are disclosed herein. The system can include memory having a content database and an aggregation database. The system can include a user device having a first network interface and a first I/O subsystem. The system can include a server that can: provide content to the user device via a first electrical signal; receive a selection of a portion of the provided content from the user device via a second electrical signal; automatically extract sentences from the selected portion of the provided content via a natural language processor; automatically generate a parse tree for one of the automatically extracted sentences; identify noun phrases from the part of speech tags within the parse tree; place content associated with one of the noun phrase in a content aggregation; and output the content aggregation to the user device.

Preemptive caching within content/name/information centric networking environment is contemplated. The preemptively caching may be performed within content/name/information centric networking environments of the type having a branching structure or other architecture sufficient to facilitate routing data, content, etc. such that one or more nodes other than a node soliciting a content object also receive the content object.

A packet classifier for packet classification in computer networking is provided. The packet classifier includes a packet parser, an extended key crafting logic, a match and action table, and a rule parser configured to parse predetermined rules and to identify at least one commutable matching tuple. When the rule parser identifies the at least one commutable matching tuple in the predetermined rules, the rule parser actuates the extended key crafting logic and programs the match and action table based on the identified commutable matching tuple.

System and method for using multiple global identification subnet prefix values in a network switch environment in a high performance computing environment. A packet is received from a network fabric by a first Host Channel Adapter (HCA). The packet has a header portion including a destination subnet prefix identifying a destination subnet of the network fabric. The network HCA is allowed to receive the first packet from a port of the network HCA by selectively determining a logical state of a flag and, selectively in accordance with a predetermined logical state of the flag, ignoring the destination subnet prefix identifying the destination subnet of the network fabric.

A vehicle control system includes a controller configured to control communication between or among plural vehicle devices that control movement of a single vehicle system or a multi-vehicle system via a network that communicatively couples the vehicle devices. The controller also is configured to control the communication using a data distribution service (DDS) and with the network operating as a time sensitive network (TSN). The controller is configured to direct a first set of the vehicle devices to communicate using time sensitive communications, a different, second set of the vehicle devices to communicate using best effort communications, and a different, third set of the vehicle devices to communicate using rate constrained communications.

A traffic policy includes policy rules that specify branch actions in their action fields. A branch action specifies another policy rule in the traffic policy. Packet filters generated from the traffic policy represent the traffic policy rules and execution order semantics of the branch rules.
