A system and method can support packet switching in a network environment. A networking device, such as a network switch, which includes a crossbar fabric, can be associated with a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports. Furthermore, the networking device can detect a link state change at an output port that is associated with the networking device. Then, the networking device can notify one or more input ports, via the output port, of the link state change at the output port.

A disclosed method and system for allocating bandwidth among a plurality of virtual network ports assigned to a plurality of virtual machines accesses assignment information indicating which virtual network ports are assigned to which virtual machines. A network bandwidth manager (NBM) receives network utilization information indicating the network utilization of each virtual network port/The NBM further receives virtual machine priority information indicative of a derived priority for each of the plurality of virtual machines. The NBM configures bandwidth parameters for each of the virtual network ports based on the assignment information, network utilization information, and the virtual machine priority information.

Aspects involve an apparatus, device, systems, and methods for instantiating and operating a cloudless infrastructure of computing devices that communicate peer-to-peer and mostly off-grid (or otherwise without communicating through a conventional centralized network) to share resources, access, and provide services and applications, store and access data and other information, and the like. The systems may provide services to connecting computing devices, such as user devices, personal computing devices, mobile devices, laptops, personal computers, Internet of Things (IoT) devices etc., in communication with one or more of the nodes of the infrastructure. The infrastructure exchanges or manages communications, transactions, and/or data in a cloudless and/or decentralized environment to freely exchange information between the nodes to allow the infrastructure to scale in response to client demands, adapt the infrastructure to a failed node with minimal impact on connected computing devices, and provide robust security to customer information, communications, and devices.

A method for predictive network congestion control may include receiving network traffic data of a network. The network traffic data may be indicative of a current level of use or the network. A predicted future level of use at the location of the network may be identified based on the received network traffic data and based on past network traffic data for the location of the network. A recommendation to alter the future level of use for the location may be generated. The recommendation may include a type of alert to transmit to devices of users in the location of the network. The recommendation may be transmitted to a network policy management server of the network.

[Object] To provide a communication control device configured to efficiently secure bands of an IP network in order to transmit data streams.

[Solution] There is provided a communication control device including: a channel information acquisition unit configured to acquire, when AV streams are transmitted from a plurality of transmission apparatuses to one or more reception apparatuses on an IP network while being switched, all channel information from the transmission apparatuses to the reception apparatuses; a traffic calculation unit configured to calculate a maximum traffic generated in switching patterns of the transmission of the AV streams from the transmission apparatuses to the reception apparatuses, on the basis of the channel information acquired by the channel information acquisition unit; and a transmission band reservation unit configured to reserve a transmission band on the IP network, on the basis of the maximum traffic calculated by the traffic calculation unit.

Techniques for predicting the availability of a resource are described. An exemplary method includes obtaining capacity data indicating an amount of capacity available in a cloud provider network to satisfy the request; generating, using a machine learning model that has been trained based at least in part on an output of an automated historical hindsight learner that is an integer linear program, an approval prediction, wherein the approval prediction indicates that the request is to be approved based on one or more launch parameters of the request and the capacity data; receiving information from a downstream component that controls the resource that the approval prediction is incorrect; and evaluating the incorrect approval prediction using a hindsight learner and predictor explainer.

Disclosed are a RSCN method and system, a related device and a computer storage medium. The RSCN method applied to an Ethernet Node (ENode) device includes that: an RSCN message is received; and when it is determined that destination Media Access Control (MAC) contained in the RSCN message is ENode MAC, the RSCN message is distributed to a corresponding Virtual Node Port (VN_Port). The RSCN method applied to a Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE) Forwarder (FCF) includes that: network detection is performed; and when it is detected that a state to which attention is paid in a network changes, a first RSCN message is sent to an ENode device which pays attention to such a state change and succeeds in centralized notification capability negotiation with the FCF, destination MAC contained in the first RSCN message being ENode MAC. Disclosed are an ENode device, an FCF and an RSCN system.
