US 10,430,098 B2 · System and methods for defining object memory format in memory and store for object interactions, manipulation, and exchange in distributed network devices

Abstract

Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to defining a data store format for storing state information related to border-gateway protocol (BGP) routing information base (RIB) entries, BGP Neighbor Tables, intermediate system-intermediate system (IS-IS) adjacencies, Link-State Databases, Interface information, Chassis information, etc in a binary format. A brick data store (BDS) system can define tables, table properties, objects and attributes for an application in the system using configuration files expressed in Java Script Object Notation (JSON). The data format can be uniform across inter-process communication, file and in-memory representation.

Dependent claims

A system for more efficiently storing objects in memory of an in-memory storage system, the system comprising:

an in-memory storage system comprising memory coupled to a processor;
a first location of memory having a first predetermined memory format configured to store content of an object and an object map, wherein the object map comprises an attribute mask and an offset list to locate a particular attribute of a plurality of attributes of the object, wherein the attribute mask comprises a bit vector describing an encoding of the plurality of attributes of the object;
and
a second location of memory having a second predetermined memory format configured to store an index map of indexes to one or more objects;
and
wherein the index map comprises an index to the object map for the object.
