Filed:

Aug 8, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/818050

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
Christopher MURRAY - Spring TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/06
G06F 9/4401

Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to a system including a first management system having a primary memory including a free memory, a used memory, and a loosely reserved memory, where the loosely reserved memory comprises cache memory having a reclaimable memory; and a processing resource coupled to the primary memory. The processing resource may monitor an amount of the used memory and an amount of an available memory during runtime of the first management system. Further, the processing resource may enable a synchronized reboot of the first management system if the amount of the used memory is greater than a memory exhaustion first threshold or the amount of the available memory is less than a memory exhaustion second threshold, wherein the memory exhaustion first threshold and the memory exhaustion second threshold are determined based on usage of the reclaimable memory and a number of major page faults.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04L 12/46

Abstract:

Remote configuration of network interface cards (NICs) on appliances of a scaleable compute resource such as a frame-based system is disclosed. Frames may include a frame link module (FLM). Remote configuration of NICs may allow for multiple networks to be maintained in physical or logical isolation from each other. For example, a management data network may be maintained independently of an application data network. An FLM CPU may detect an appliance, validate compatibility for the appliance, a midplane, a PHY connection, etc. Commands from the FLM CPU may configure the independent networks. Independent networks may provide redundancy and segregation by data type. A controller area network (CAN) bus may deliver configuration commands to a NIC of an attached appliance. Air gap equivalent isolation of networks based on type of network may be achieved while maintaining redundancy of networks to address potential failure of individual components.

International Classification:

H04L 12/423
H04L 12/46
H04L 12/751
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Examples herein involve dividing a ring protection network into multiple ring protection networks. Examples include detecting a disconnection in a ring protection network, determining whether an owner of the ring protection network is in a new ring protection network divided from the ring protection network, and establishing an owner of the new ring protection network based on whether the owner of the ring protection network is in the new ring protection network.

International Classification:

H04L 12/423
H04L 12/46
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

An example communications device may include communication ports and processing circuitry. The communications device may, when the communication device and peer network nodes are connected in a ring topology to form an access network, detect that a loop exists between the access network and a customer network. In response to detecting the loop, the communication device may automatically block any uplink to the customer network that the communication device may have, and send a message to all of the peer network nodes instructing them to block any uplinks to the customer network they may have.

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
Christopher Murray - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/437
H04L 12/24

Abstract:

According to an example method, it is determined that a first network node in a ring network is claimed by a first managing device and a second network node in the ring network is claimed by a second managing device. The ring network includes a single link to a customer network. The second network node is then isolated from the first network node. A separate linear network is formed including the second network node. Upon reset of the second network node to an unclaimed status, the second network node is claimed by the first managing device.

H04L 12/707
H04L 12/24

Abstract:

Examples herein involve establishing communication links between a first ring protection network in communication with a service network and a second ring protection network in communication with a service network, the communication links between the first ring protection network and the second ring protection network to form a management network ring; determining an owner of the management network ring; and establishing a single uplink between one network module of the management network ring and the service network.

International Classification:

H04L 12/933
H04L 12/46
H04L 12/935
H04L 12/18

Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to a network entity on a ring network. In an example, a method includes receiving a first packet by a first network entity via a ring network. It is determined from the first packet that the ring network has a plurality of management entities each claiming a respective network entity. Based on the ring network having the plurality of management entities each claiming the respective network entity, the first network entity is transitioned from an unclaimed state to a dummyclaim state, and the first network entity is isolated from a portion of the ring network.
