A distributed routing system is provided for use in a communication network, wherein the distributed routing system includes at least one cluster comprising a first plurality of cluster elements from which a second plurality of cluster elements is selected, wherein each of the cluster elements comprised in the second plurality of cluster elements is configured to operate as a cluster leader candidate and wherein one of that second plurality of cluster elements is selected on a temporary basis to act as cluster leader.

Highly-available cluster leader election in a distributed routing system

A method for executing instructions embedded in two threads stored in a system including two operating units and a virtual managing entity for holding queues for virtual objects (VO) waiting to use a respective operating unit and diverting them between queues. Each VO is associated with two virtual timers, one measuring a time period during which the VO is held in the queue (TIQ) and the other providing time period during which the VO will remain in an alive state (TTL). The method includes receiving information relating to VOs associated with the two threads; operating on VOs for which their TTLs have expired; upon emerging from its respective queue, determining whether each VO should be diverted to another queue; upon diverting the VO, resetting its TIQ timer; and allocating an access time to each VO based on a number of threads requiring that VO and the TIQ associated therewith.

System implementing multi-threaded applications

A communication system comprising at least one smart network interface card ('NIC') provided with a logic/programmable processor and a local memory, and a computing element, wherein a communication bus is used to connect said smart NIC and said computing element to enable forwarding data there-between, wherein the system is characterized in that said smart NIC is configured to receive data packets, to extract data therefrom and to forward less than all data comprised in the received data packets, to said computing element along said communication bus, and wherein the forwarded data comprises data which is preferably required for making networking decisions that relate to that respective data packet.

Method and device for improving bandwidth utilization in a communication network

A network element is provided, configured to operate in an IP-based communication network and to manage resources in that communication network which are being utilized by a software application. The management of these resources is carried out by the network element (e.g. a router) through affecting changes in these resources in response to obtaining information retrieved from an application program interface (API) associated with the software application, such as for example, values of key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the software application.

Network aware element and a method for using same

A parallel-processing computer system is provided for parallel processing of data packets conveyed in a communication network. The system comprises: a memory; a plurality of processing elements; and a program stored at the memory for execution by the plurality of processing elements. The at least one program comprises instructions for: receiving one or more data packets comprising operational instructions from an application; establishing a pipeline element for carrying out a service process, which comprises a plurality of sub-pipelines, each associated with a respective task required for carrying out the service process and wherein each of the plurality of processing elements is operative for carrying out tasks associated with a respective sub-pipeline belonging to the plurality of sub-pipelines; and executing simultaneously by the plurality of processing elements, tasks associated with the plurality of sub-pipelines, wherein the plurality of processing elements is implementing a parallel processing of each data packet.
