Heavy-hitter flows or Cheetah Flows (CF), which are high-rate flows can result in increased packet losses and delay in general Internet traffic. A Cheetah Flow Traffic Engineering System (CFTES) is presented, which can dynamically compute a heavy-hitter or CF threshold using information from the general background traffic. The system works
As the sheer amount of computer generated data continues to grow exponentially, new bottlenecks are unveiled that require rethinking our traditional software and hardware architectures. In this paper, we present five algorithms and data structures (long queue emulation, lockless bimodal queues, tail early dropping, LFN tables, and multiresolution priority queues)
Cheetah flows, which are high-rate flows, can cause increased packet delays and losses in other flows. Leveraging the flexibility offered by the NFV paradigm, our proposed Cheetah Flow Identification Network Function (CFINF) uses a novel method in which a new measure, short-duration flight rate, which is the rate of a

For balancing load, a forwarder can selectively direct data from the forwarder to a processor according to a loading parameter. The selective direction includes forwarding the data to the processor for processing, transforming and/or forwarding the data to another node, and dropping the data. The forwarder can also adjust the
In high-speed networks, it is important to detect the presence of large flows—also known as elephant flows— because of their adverse effects on delay-sensitive flows. If detected on a timely fashion, network operators can apply active policies such as flow redirection or traffic shaping to ensure the overall quality of
Operating systems play a key role in providing general purpose services to upper layer applications at the highest available performance level. The two design requirements generality and performance — are however in contention: the more general purpose a service layer is, the more overhead it incurs in accessing domain-specific high-performance
Systems, apparatus and methods for the implementation of high-speed network analyzers are provided. A set of high-level specifications is used to define the behavior of the network analyzer emitted by a compiler. An optimized inline workflow to process regular expressions is presented without sacrificing the semantic capabilities of the processing
In a multi-processor (e.g., multi-core) computer system, several processors can simultaneously access data without corruption thereof by: designating to each processor a portion of a hash table containing the data; by allowing each processor to access only those data elements belonging to the portion of the hash table designated to
