  • Patent number: 11811892
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method includes identifying a target networking device communicatively connected to a cluster of networked server instances. The networked server instances are configured to consume network telemetry messages. The method further includes applying a shared lock to the target networking device, so that only a single networked server instance has access to network telemetry messages produced by the target networking device. The method also includes replicating the network telemetry messages produced by the locked target networking device to other server instances in the cluster, and then diverting requests for network telemetry messages from the locked target networking device to another server instance in the cluster of networked server instances. This allows the other server instance in the cluster to service the diverted telemetry data requests for the locked target networking device using the replicated network telemetry messages.

  • Patent number: 11799816
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for internet protocol (IP) warming is described. Some systems may send large volumes of communication messages from a single IP address. If the IP address does not have a strong sender reputation, these emails may be sent to spam folders or blocked, and the IP address may be blacklisted. To build a strong sender reputation, a user may implement an IP warming plan for the IP address. To support automated IP warming, an application may identify a target number of communication messages to transmit from the IP address, retrieve communication information for a target set of devices, generate, for the IP address, a set of transmission thresholds corresponding to a set of time durations for transmitting communication messages based on the target number of communication messages and the communication information, and transmit a set of communication messages based on the set of transmission thresholds.

  • Patent number: 11757983
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of implementing capacity-aware load balancing across a set of data compute nodes (DCNs) by reducing latency for the set of DCNs. From the set of DCNs, the method identifies (1) a first subset of DCNs including DCNs that have a latency that is higher than an average latency computed for the set of DCNs and (2) a second subset of DCNs including DCNs that have a latency that is lower than the average latency computed for the set of DCNs. For each DCN in the first subset of DCNs, the method assigns to the DCN a weight value that corresponds to a target latency computed for the set of DCNs. Based on the assigned weight values for the first subset of DCNs, the method computes an excess weight value to be redistributed across the second subset of DCNs. The method redistributes the computed excess weight value across the second subset of DCNs.
