SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING A DATA LINK LAYER PROTOCOL IN A COMPUTE HOST

摘要

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a data link protocol (DLP) resource as a user managed cloud resource with compliance tools, automated service delivery, federate-able cloud single sign-on, and agile resource integration. A method for implementing a telecommunication network protocol in an application layer includes establishing, at an application layer, data traffic between first and second DLP nodes. Each DLP node may be implemented at a processor, a virtual switch, or a software application. Each DLP node may include a slow agent and a fast agent. The method may also include determining that the data traffic needs a control message. The method may also include generating the control message at the application layer and injecting the control message to the header of a DLP frame. The DLP frame does not include the payload. The DLP frame is transmitted from the first DLP node to the second DLP node.
