20150043580 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING THE DELIVERY OF OVER-THE-TOP STREAMS - A method and system for managing live, linear, and repetitive video stream transmissions in limited multicast resource systems are provided. The method includes monitoring OTT content streams flow in the broadband network; determining a delivery mode for each of the monitored OTT content streams, wherein the determination is based on at least one decision parameter, wherein the deliver mode is any one of a multicast mode and a unicast mode; and switching from a current delivery mode to the determined delivery mode when the current mode and determined delivery mode are not the same. | 2015-02-12 |
20150043581 | Intelligent Handling of Virtual Machine Mobility in Large Data Center Environments - At a physical device in a network configured to host a virtual switch and one or more virtual machines, a packet is received at the virtual switch from a source virtual machine that is directly attached to that virtual switch. A destination Media Access Control (MAC) address is identified from the packet indicating a destination virtual machine for the packet. In response to determining that the destination MAC address of the packet is not present in a database of MAC addresses accessible by the virtual switch, the destination MAC address of the packet is replaced with a shared MAC address associated with a plurality of physical switches in the network. | 2015-02-12 |
20150043582 | PACKET TRANSFER APPARATUS AND PACKET RELAY METHOD - It is provided a packet transfer apparatus comprising: a packet reception part; a packet transmission part; a packet generation part for generating an own-apparatus-originated packet serving as a packet for instructing a predetermined operation and outputting the own-apparatus-originated packet; a packet search part for determining a content of flow control and searching for an output circuit; a search memory for storing the content of the flow control and information for identifying the output circuit outputting the packet; and a packet transfer processing part. The packet reception part determines whether the received packet is the own-apparatus-originated packet; and outputs a self-origination flag indicating a result of the determining and header information of the received packet to the packet search part. The packet search part determines the content of the flow control for the received packet by referring to the search memory based on the self-origination flag and the header information. | 2015-02-12 |
