A network device receives first objects defining first network data associated with an asynchronous distributed network and an asynchronous distributed network operating system and generates a natural name graph based on the first objects. The network device provides information describing the natural name graph to other network devices in the asynchronous distributed network and receives a second object defining second network data. The network device determines whether one of the first objects in the natural name graph is a duplicate of the second object and removes the one of the first objects from the natural name graph, to generate an updated natural name graph, when the one of the first objects in the natural name graph is a duplicate of the second object. The network device provides the updated natural name graph to the other network devices to prevent the other network devices from generating erroneous results.

The disclosed computer-implemented method for facilitating atomic delivery of bundled data sets to applications within distributed systems may include (1) receiving, at a queue of an application, a data set from at least one other application, (2) determining that the data set is incorporated in a bundle whose contents have yet to completely arrive at the queue, (3) gating the data set at the queue until the bundle's contents have completely arrived at the queue, (4) receiving, at the queue, another data set incorporated in the bundle, (5) determining that the bundle's contents have completely arrived at the queue based at least in part on receiving the other data set, and then (6) notifying the application that the bundle is ready for atomic delivery such that the application is able to consume the bundle's contents on an as-needed basis. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

The disclosed computer-implemented method for facilitating dependency-ordered delivery of data sets to applications within distributed systems may include (1) receiving, at a queue of an application running within a distributed system, a data set from at least one other application running within the distributed system, (2) determining that the data set has a dependency on at least one other data set that has yet to arrive, (3) gating the data set at the queue due at least in part to the dependency, (4) receiving, at the queue, the other data set from the other application, (5) determining that the dependency has been satisfied, and then (6) delivering the data set and the other data set to the application to enable the application to process the data set and the other data set in accordance with the dependency. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

In general, techniques are described for scheduling traffic for delivery over an aggregated bundle of links. The techniques may be implemented by a network device comprising a control unit. The control unit configures a primary logical interface such that the primary logical interface is associated with a primary link of the aggregated bundle of links. The primary logical interface is associated with a primary scheduling module that schedules the traffic for delivery via the primary link. The control unit further, prior to detecting a failure associated with the primary scheduling module, configures a backup logical interface such that the backup logical interface is associated with a backup link of the aggregated bundle links. The backup logical interface is associated with a backup scheduling module that schedules, in response to detecting the failure associated with the primary scheduling module, the traffic for delivery downstream via the backup link.
