Network Virtualization and Resource Allocation For the Internet of Things

A system for network virtualization and resource allocation, comprising:

• a storage medium for storing one or more received network requests in a request table;
• an updater to control adjustment of at least one of a flow table, a waiting list table, or a candidate group map based on the one or more received network requests, the updater being further configured to:
• monitor a transmission progress of each of one or more flows in a network of interconnected computing devices and move completed flows from the flow table to a success list;
• move requests in the waiting list table which have reached an attempt threshold from the flow table to a fail list;
• and
• compile any residual requests in the waiting list with new requests to generate a new request table;
• and
• a request allocator to control at least one of a deterministic request allocation or an optimizing request allocation based on the new request table.

A computer-readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:

• storing one or more received network requests in a request table;
• updating at least one of a flow table, a waiting list table, or a candidate group map based on the one or more received network requests, the updating further comprising:
• monitoring a transmission progress of each of one or more flows in a network of interconnected computing devices and moving completed flows from the flow table to a success list;
• moving requests in the waiting list table which have reached an attempt threshold from the flow table to a fail list;
• and
• compiling any residual requests in the waiting list with new requests to generate a new request table;
• and
• performing at least one of a deterministic request allocation or an optimizing request allocation based on the new request table.
