Some embodiments provide a method for connecting a client of a first network to a service of a second network. The method includes registering the service of the second network. The method then receives, from a client of the first network, a request to communicate with the service, the client not having an address of the service. The method further assigns an IP address to the service and sends the IP address to the client. Additionally, the method sends, to an inter-network hub that connects the first network and the second network, a message in order for the inter-network hub to establish a first tunnel between the inter-network hub and a first gateway associated with the client and a second tunnel between the inter-network hub and a second gateway associated with the service.

Facilitating communication between resources in different network environments

Aspects of the present invention provide systems and methods that solved the problems of how to participate in a marketplace exchange without using a centralized intermediary. In embodiments, a secure distributed transaction ledger may be used as an integration framework that supports communications between parties, the transfer of funds from one party to another party, and the ability to for the provisioning or transfer of deliverables by a seller to a buyer or for the benefit of a buyer. In embodiments, a buyer, a seller, and an escrow entity have defined functions that facilitate transactions and help build in more trust into the marketplace.

Systems and methods for a commodity contracts market using a secure distributed transaction ledger

Aspects of the present invention provide systems and methods that facilitate computations that are publically defined while assuring the confidentiality of the input data provided, the generated output data, or both using homomorphic encryption on the contents of the secure distributed transaction ledger. Full homomorphic encryption schemes protect data while still enabling programs to accept it as input. In embodiments, using a homomorphic encryption data input into a secure distributed transaction ledger allows a consumer to employ highly motivated entities with excess compute capability to perform calculations on the consumer's behalf while assuring data confidentiality, correctness, and integrity as it propagates through the network.

The present invention relates generally to management in an autonomous, distributed environment. Aspects of the present invention include employing a distributed, scalable, autonomous resource discovery, management, and stitching system. In embodiments of the present invention a block architecture can be used where each block maintains management of the block rather than the entire environment. In embodiments of the present invention each block includes an autonomous resource discovery, management, and stitching system capable of communicating with autonomous resource discovery, management, and stitching, systems of other blocks to allocate and share resources between blocks.

Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for providing data flow information of a communication end node. The communication end node includes: at least one container including one or more applications; an operating-system-container engine for hosting the container; a host operating system (OS) for hosting the operating-system-container engine; and a socket query engine that is hosted by the operating-system-container engine. The socket query engine causes steps to be performed comprising: monitoring one or more open sockets that allow the one or more applications to communicate data through a network; compiling a list of the one or more open sockets; generating information of data flow that passes through the one or more open sockets using a set of socket parameters of the one or more open sockets; and sending the information of data flow to a controller through the network.

Various embodiments of the invention optimize and improve object storage performance in large-scale distributed networks. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by taking advantage of the algorithm that determines a map that contains information about storage locations of object replica. This information directly translates to flow-information in real-time and is used by an SDN controller to generate dynamic flow information for traffic within the network. The SDN controller may apply QoS policies and assign QoS priorities to preferred traffic.
