20150019655 | Message Consumer Orchestration Framework - In a decoupled messaging system, a producer device sends produced messages to a message fabric. The message fabric either stores the received message in designated queues, from which consumer devices may retrieve the messages, or broadcasts the messages to consumer devices that subscribe to topics assigned to the messages. A message consumption orchestrator service gathers capabilities information for the message producer, the message fabric, and the message consumer, and configures resources allocated for the message consumer to more fully optimize message throughput. Further, the message consumption orchestrator identifies patterns in changes of the rate of produced messages, i.e., through analysis of historical data and/or received information. The message consumption orchestrator configures resources for the message consumer to account for predicted need based on the identified patterns. | 2015-01-15 |

20150019752 | ADAPTIVE SETTING OF THE QUANTIZED CONGESTION NOTIFICATION EQUILIBRIUM SETPOINT IN CONVERGED ENHANCED EITHERNET NETWORKS - Embodiments relate to controlling workload flow on converged Ethernet links. An aspect includes coupling, by a processing device, a first control loop to a second control loop. The second control loop monitors the operation of the first control loop. An equilibrium set point is initialized for the second control loop prior to commencing operation of the first control loop. Accordingly, the equilibrium set point value is adjusted in the second control loop continuously based on a rate of operation of the first control loop. | 2015-01-15 |
20150019753 | DATA REDIRECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR - A data redirection system and method comprises a first and second redirector in one or more embodiments. The first redirector may receive and respond to requests for a network service by redirecting a client's request to the second redirector. The second redirector may receive and respond to the redirected request by sending a network address of a gateway. The gateway may provide an enhanced communication link with a network resource providing the network service. In this manner, communications used to provide the network service may be redirected to the enhanced communication link. The requests for a network service and responses to the requests will typically be communicated over a standard communication link. | 2015-01-15 |
20150019754 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO ACCOMPLISH PEER-TO-PEER APPLICATION DATA ROUTING BETWEEN SERVICE CONSUMERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WITHIN A SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE - A Peer-to-Peer Application Data Routing Fabric is described. The Fabric provides routing between endpoints resident in peer nodes of a Service Oriented Architecture where the routing is based on endpoint presence, availability, status, and location to satisfy the requirements of fault tolerance and load balancing among homogenous endpoints; or routing by address among instances of differing type. In the preferred embodiment of the Fabric, the Session Initiation Protocol components, interactions and transport mechanisms are leveraged and extended. | 2015-01-15 |
