Latest Patents
Sze K Li holds a patent titled "Maintaining apparent connectivity during virtual switch servicing." This patent presents various innovations for servicing a virtual switch in a virtual networking layer. The innovations include new architectures for a virtual networking layer and new operations performed when servicing a virtual switch. In some implementations, the interruption to actual network connectivity during virtual switch servicing is minimal, remaining below a timeout threshold that signifies failure of a network connection. This ensures that connections for a host, virtual machines (VMs), and physical network adapters can be maintained while the virtual switch is serviced. Although some interruption to actual network connectivity occurs, apparent connectivity for a VM over a connection between the VM and the virtual switch can be maintained during the servicing process. Similarly, apparent connectivity for a host over a connection between the host and the virtual switch is preserved during servicing.
