Methods and apparatus for low latency operation in user space networking architectures. In one embodiment, an apparatus configured to enable low latency data transfer is disclosed. The exemplary embodiment provides a multiplexer that allocates a fixed portion of network bandwidth for low latency traffic. Low latency traffic is routed without the benefit of general-purpose packet processing. In one embodiment, network extensions for low latency operations are described. Specifically, an agent is described that enables low latency applications to negotiate for low latency access. In one embodiment, mechanisms for providing channel event notifications are described. Channel event notifications enable corrective action/packet processing by the low latency application. In one embodiment, mechanisms for providing interface advisory information are described. Interface advisory information may be provided asynchronously to assist in low latency operation.

Techniques to utilize excess resources in a cloud system, such as by enabling an auxiliary resource utilizer to use resources while they are not needed to support primary resource utilizers, are described herein. Some embodiments are directed to identifying and allocating excess capacity of resources in a cloud system to auxiliary resource utilizers based on one or more policies. In various embodiments, excess resources in one or more of the set of resources in the cloud system, or cloud resources, may be determined based on monitoring utilization of the cloud resources by the primary resource utilizers. In many embodiments, an auxiliary resource utilizer that is in compliance with a set of utilization policies may be identified and the excess resources may be allocated to the auxiliary resource utilizer.

It is provided a method, comprising triggering a terminal of a wireless network to establish a control session to a translator device via the wireless network; providing a control port to a station of a wireline network; forwarding at least one of a first message from the station received on the control port via the control session to the translator device and a second message received via the control session from the translator device to the station.

Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage resources in a gateway shared by multiple tenants. In one example, a system may monitor usage of resources by a tenant of the gateway and compare the usage with usage limits associated with the resources. The system may further determine when the usage of a resource exceeds a usage limit associated with the resource and, when the usage of the resource exceeds the usage limit, identify an operation associated with causing the usage limit to be exceeded and blocking the operation.

A system and method for managing access congestion in a computer network, the system and method including: determining a plurality of channels within the computer network via a subscriber channel module; determining a set of subscribers for each of the channels of the plurality of channels via the subscriber channel module; determining a congestion level of each of the channels of the plurality of channels via an analysis module; determining each subscriber's impact on the respective channel based on each subscriber's network usage via the analysis module; and determining a reallocation of the subscribers to balance the channels, based on the congestion level and each subscriber's network usage, via a distribution module.

Techniques are disclosed relating to merging virtual communication channels in a portion of a computing system. In some embodiments, a communication fabric routes first and second classes of traffic with different quality-of-service parameters, using a first virtual channel for the first class and a second virtual channel for the second class. In some embodiments, a memory controller communicates, via the fabric, using a merged virtual channel configured to handle traffic from both the first virtual channel and the second virtual channel. In some embodiments, the system limits the rate at which an agent is allowed to transmit requests of the second class of traffic, but requests by the agent for the first class of traffic are not rate limited. Disclosed techniques may improve independence of virtual channels, relative to sharing the same channel in an entire system, without unduly increasing complexity.

The current document is directed to a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing-facilities based on attribute values associated with the needed resources, the resource providers, and the resource consumers. The resource-exchange system organizes and tracks operations related to a resource exchange using a resource-exchange context. In one implementation, each resource-exchange context represents the stages of, and information related to, placement of one or more computational-resources-consuming entities on behalf of a resource consumer within a resource-provider computing facility and execution of the one or more computational-resources-consuming entities within the resource-provider computing facility.

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing resources to deliver a network service in a distributed configuration. A method includes an operation for identifying resources for delivering a network service, the resources being classified by geographic area. Further, the method includes operations for selecting service agents to configure the identified resources, each service agent to manage service pools for delivering the network service across at least one geographic area, the service agents being selected to provide configurability for the service pools. The method further includes operations for sending configuration rules, to the service agents, configured to establish service pools for delivering the network service across the geographic areas. Service traffic information is collected from the service agents, and the resources are adjusted based on the collected service traffic information. Updated respective configuration rules are sent to each determined service agent based on the adjusting.

The application discloses a data transmission method and a related apparatus. A first device receives a connection establishment request and a target data feature that are sent from an analysis device. The connection establishment request includes a first connection parameter of the analysis device. The first device determines, based on the target data feature, a second device that collects data corresponding to the target data feature. The first device and the second device belong to a same distributed system. The first device determines a second connection parameter of the second device; and sends the first connection parameter, the second connection parameter and the target data feature to the second device. The second device establishes a connection to the analysis device based on the first connection parameter and the second connection parameter, and transmits the data corresponding to the target data feature to the analysis device through the established connection.

An example SoC includes a plurality of processing systems supporting respective Quality of Service (QoS) rules, channel circuitry that is configured to service communications for the plurality of processing systems and that includes a QoS manager. The QoS manager determines that a first processing system of the plurality of processing systems that operates according to first QoS rules desires to send a communication with a first QoS selection of the first QoS rules to a second processing system that operates according to second QoS rules, determines available communication receipt resources of the second processing system of the plurality of processing systems, the second processing system supporting second QoS rules, determines a communication resources allocation for the second processing system based upon the first QoS rules, the second QoS rules, and the first QoS selection, and directs the second processing system to operate according to the communication resource allocation.
