Network Hypervisor Control Channel Isolation via Traffic Prediction

The patent segments the control message translation process by introducing separate translation queues for different virtual switches, isolating the translation operations to prevent mutual interference. This allows multiple virtual switches to be serviced concurrently without one blocking the others, thereby maintaining low latency even as the number of virtual switches increases.

The patent implements prediction mechanisms that analyze historical control message patterns to forecast future translation requirements. By preparing translation resources and scheduling based on predicted demand, the system proactively manages translation loads before latency issues arise, enabling scalable performance across multiple virtual switches.

The patent divides the single FIFO translation queue into multiple separate queues, one for each virtual switch. This segmentation maintains the simplicity of FIFO within each individual queue while eliminating the interference that occurs when multiple virtual switches share a single queue, thereby improving overall network control performance.

The patent introduces a translation management intermediary that schedules and routes control messages to appropriate translation queues based on virtual switch identification. This intermediary layer preserves the simplicity of FIFO translation while coordinating access across multiple virtual switches to prevent latency and interference.
