According to one or more embodiments, a computer implemented method includes deploying a first virtual container to host an instance of a first computer application that is non-native to an operating system of a computer server. The method further includes allocating a virtual internet protocol address (VIPA) to the first virtual container. The method further includes creating a first virtual network interface card (NIC) associated with the first virtual container, and creating, by the virtual NIC, an internal route for the first virtual container to communicate with the internal router, the first virtual container being one hop behind a physical NIC of the computer server. The method further includes receiving a request to execute a second computer application that is native to the operating system, and in response, instantiating an instance of the second computer application, and allocating, a second VIPA to the instance of the second computer application.

Virtual container extended network virtualization in server cluster

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for performing a network traffic combination operation. With the network traffic combination operation, a plurality of input queues are defined by an operating system for an adapter based upon workload type (e.g., as determined by a transport layer). Additionally, the operating system defines each input queue to match a virtual memory architecture of the transport layer (e.g., one input queue is defined as 31 bit and other input queue is defined as 64 bit). When data is received off the wire as inbound data from a physical NIC, the network adapter associates the inbound data with the appropriate memory type. Thus, data copies are eliminated and memory consumption and associated storage management operations are reduced for the smaller bit architecture communications while allowing the operating system to continue executing in a larger bit architecture configuration.

There are provided a system, a method and a computer program product for creating the social group whose participants are involved in an online conversation. The system aggregates data associated with the online conversation and a group profile, of the social group. The system determines, based on the online conversation data and the group profile, a context of the online conversation and a goal of the social group. The system receives, based on the determined context and the goal, a first bidding from each provider, the first bidding associated with the determined context and the goal, the each provider providing one or more of: goods, services or discounts associated with the context and the goal.

Real-time social group based bidding system

Facilitating communications within a processing environment. Inbound traffic and outbound traffic on one or more virtual interfaces of the processing environment are monitored for a predefined amount of time. Based on the monitoring, a determination is made as to whether for a selected component of a virtual interface of the one or more virtual interfaces an inbound frame has been received but an outbound frame has not been transmitted for the predetermined amount of time. Based on determining that the inbound frame has been received but the outbound frame has not been transmitted, a generated outbound frame is forwarded to cause address registration information for the virtual interface to be refreshed.

Selectively refreshing address registration information

There are provided a system, a method and a computer program product for suggesting content to a group. The system identifies a group of users in a social network. The system receives inputs associated with the social network group. The system aggregates the received inputs. The system analyzes the aggregated inputs. The system searches, based on the aggregation and the analysis, one or more tailored content to be delivered to the group in Internet, one or more database and one or more data warehouse. The system delivers the tailored content to the group in the social network.

Creating a dynamic aggregate group profile of users in an online collaboration session for providing tailored content delivery

A method for managing communications to add a first Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) link between a TCP server and a TCP client, where the first RDMA link references first remote memory buffer (RMB) and a second RMB, and further based on a first remote direct memory access network interface card (RNIC) associated with the TCP server and a second RNIC associated with the TCP client. The system determines whether a third RNIC is enabled. The system adds a second RDMA link, responsive to a determination that the third RNIC is enabled. The system detects a failure in the second RDMA link. The system reconfigures the first RDMA link to carry at least one TCP packet of a session formerly assigned to the second RDMA link, responsive to detecting the failure. The system communicates at least one packet of the at least one session on the first RDMA link.
