  • Patent number: 10666534
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for measuring round trip time (RTT) in network devices between the device and an endpoint. A network device may be deployed as an intermediary to provide many security and visibility functions. For measuring the server side RTT between the network device and host, the intermediary device identifies the packet that has been sent by the client when it initiated the RTT measurement. The network device remembers the moment T1 when it sees this packet. The host (e.g., the server) will respond to this with a packet that contains the response. The intermediary device remembers the moment T2 when it sees this response. Server side RTT is calculated by the network device as T2?T1. For measuring the client side RTT the network device and client, the intermediary device identifies the packet that the host sends to initiate measurement of RTT.

  • Patent number: 10659315
    Abstract: A data communication system controls Software Defined Network (SDN) Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). A Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI) executes the SDN VNFs and responsively transfers SDN Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to a Management and Orchestration (MANO) computer. The MANO computer processes the SDN KPIs from the NFVI to determine an NFVI task to perform for the SDN VNFs. The NFVI task comprises at least one of: SDN VNF relocation, SDN VNF off-boarding, SDN VNF darkening, SDN VNF lightening, and SDN VNF on-boarding. The MANO computer transfers NFVI control data indicating the NFVI task to the NFVI. The NFVI performs the NFVI task for the SDN VNFs responsive to the NFV control data.
