The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A system for migrating a virtual machine includes: a first device, and a second device. The first device notifies the second device of failure information indicating that data transported to the second device includes an error originated from the first device, when the error is detected from a storage area in the first device. The second device writes a second identifier, whose value is different from that of a first identifier, into a memory of the second device while associating the second identifier with a second address, the second address being to serve as a copy destination of data indicated by the failure information, wherein the first identifier indicates that data in the second address includes an error originated from the second device, and the second identifier serves as an identifier indicating that data in the second address includes an error originated from the first device.“

The patent application was filed on July 22, 2016 (15/216,753).

Recording medium and packet relay method for relaying packet in first sub-domain
Fujitsu Ltd., Kawasaki, Japan, has been assigned a patent (10,171,342) developed by Nakagawa, Yukihiro, Kawasaki, Japan, for “recording medium and packet relay method for relaying a packet in a first sub-domain among a plurality of sub-domains in a service chain configured across the plurality of sub-domains.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein a packet relay program for relaying a packet in a first sub-domain among a plurality of sub-domains in a service chain configured across the plurality of sub-domains is provided. The packet relay program causes a computer in the first sub-domain to perform a process. The process includes specifying a transmission destination on a basis of relay information with which identification information indicating a combination of a plurality of service functions included in the service chain, an index indicating an order for applying the service function, and the transmission destination are associated, changing the index included in the packet into a predetermined value when the specified transmission destination is a second sub-domain among the plurality of sub-domains, and transmitting the packet including the identification information included in the packet and the index of the predetermined value to the specified transmission destination.“
