The descriptor for the service is instantiated to obtain an instance of the service. This includes obtaining an instance of the type of entity indicated by the reference. | 2022-03-10 |
20220078093 | STATE TRANSITIONS FOR A SET OF SERVICES - Examples herein relate to developing an orchestration plan. Examples disclose the development of a representation of a set of services wherein each service relates to other services via different types of relationships. The examples apply a set of dependency rules for each type of relationship at each service within the set of services such that the application of the set of dependency rules creates inter-service dependencies between state transitions of the set of services. Based on the creation of the inter-service dependencies, the orchestration plan is developed which includes a sequenced order of the state transitions for the set of services. | 2022-03-10 |
20220078094 | SYSTEM FOR AGGREGATING STATISTICS RELATING TO A LOGICAL FORWARDING ELEMENT - Some embodiments provide a system that implements a set of tools to define a set of one or more logical forwarding elements from a number of physical forwarding elements and a scalable framework to retrieve statistics relating each logical forwarding element. In some embodiments, the statistics relate to the logical ports of a logical forwarding element. The system of some embodiments allows a network administrator to retrieve a total packet count and byte count for one or more logical ports of the logical forwarding element, even though the logical ports may be distributed across multiple physical forwarding elements. | 2022-03-10 |
20220078095 | COMMON INTERFACE SYSTEM FOR MESH NETWORKING AND FOG COMPUTING SYSTEMS - Methods, systems, and storage media are described for Internet of Things (IoT) hubs and IoT cradles in mesh networks and/or fog computing systems while providing interoperability among IoT devices provided by various manufacturers, vendors, and service providers. IoT devices may be connected or attached to IoT cradles, and the IoT cradles may communicate data among themselves over a cradle network. The IoT cradles may also communicate IoT data with the IoT hub over a hub network. The IoT hub may communicate the IoT data with clients and/or servers over a wide area network using wired or wireless communication protocols. Clients may access resources and/or services provided by the IoT devices by accessing the IoT hub via a dedicated application. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed. | 2022-03-10 |
