Exploiting cluster awareness infrastructure through internet socket based applications |
摘要 |
Provided are techniques related generally to computer communication and, more specifically, to techniques that provide legacy applications with access to a cluster infrastructure. A pseudo interface layer provides applications with internet protocol (IP) family sockets access to cluster awareness protocols in a manner that may be transparent to both the application and the cluster awareness layer of a kernel. |

1. A method, comprising:
providing a cluster specific interface device connected to a plurality of communication channels, each channel corresponding to underlying hardware; coupling the cluster specific interface device to a pseudo interface device without underlying communication hardware; configuring the pseudo interface device with an Internet protocol (IP) address; generating a first communication link between an application and the pseudo interface device, wherein the first communication link is bound to the IP address; receiving at the pseudo interface device an application packet from the application on the first communication link; generating a cluster interface packet by converting the application packet to a protocol corresponding to the cluster specific interface device; generating a hardware specific packet corresponding to a particular one of the underlying hardware based upon the cluster interface packet; and transmitting the cluster interface packet via the cluster interface device to the particular hardware via the corresponding communication channel. |
