  • Patent number: 11973654
    Abstract: In examples, a first Anycast advertisement is received from a first server identifying the first server as a primary address for a service. In addition, a second Anycast advertisement is received from the first server identifying the first server as a secondary address for the service. Further, a third Anycast advertisement is received from a second server identifying the second server as the secondary address for the service. A first community advertisement is also from the first server identifying the first server as a member of a first community. Thereafter, a first request is received from a client including the primary address, and the request is routed to the first server. When a second request from the client is received including the secondary address, based at least on the community advertisement, the first server is ignored, and the second request is routed to the second server.

  • Patent number: 11876684
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for controlled migration of workloads between cell systems arranged in a cell-based architecture. Each cell system can implement a portion of an overall workload of the architecture, which may represent a network-accessible service. The isolation provided by cells may prevent widespread problems at the service, but may also conceal errors that might occur should workloads between the cells be redistributed. Such redistribution is often forced at inopportune moments, such as when a cell of the service has already failed. Systems and methods described herein enable detection of such errors by repeatedly migrating portions of workloads between cells. The system can monitor health information during or between migrations to ensure continued health of the service. If the service appears to be unhealthy after a migration, future migrations can be halted to enable a cause of the unhealthy state to be identified and rectified.

  • Patent number: 11836551
    Abstract: To provide a low latency near RT RIC, some embodiments separate the RIC's functions into several different components that operate on different machines (e.g., execute on VMs or Pods) operating on the same host computer or different host computers. Some embodiments also provide high speed interfaces between these machines. Some or all of these interfaces operate in non-blocking, lockless manner in order to ensure that critical near RT RIC operations (e.g., datapath processes) are not delayed due to multiple requests causing one or more components to stall. In addition, each of these RIC components also has an internal architecture that is designed to operate in a non-blocking manner so that no one process of a component can block the operation of another process of the component. All of these low latency features allow the near RT RIC to serve as a high speed IO between the E2 nodes and the xApps.

  • Patent number: 11799954
    Abstract: Method, systems and apparatuses provides for technology that provides a decentralized network. The technology includes a managing node that generates a list of a plurality of compute nodes that are within a tier. The technology further includes a first compute node providing compute resources for other nodes to utilize. The first compute node conducts a determination that the first compute node is within the tier based at least in part on the compute resources, and sends a notification to the managing node to add the first compute node to the list based on the determination. The technology also includes a client node conducting an identification of the tier based on a compute capacity that is predicted to be utilized to execute one or more tasks associated with the client node. The client node identifies the managing node based on the identification and requests the list from the managing node.

  • Patent number: 11792076
    Abstract: A data security system interfaces with a plurality of heterogeneous online collaboration platforms, each having its own platform specific set of collaboration settings to control access to collaborative data. The data security system maps a set of common collaboration settings to the platform specific set of collaboration settings of each heterogeneous online collaboration platform and monitors a state of the platform specific set of collaboration settings of each heterogeneous online collaboration platform. If the data security system determines that the state of a platform specific collaboration setting does not comply with a specified common collaboration setting state, the data security system automatically changes the state of the platform specific collaboration setting to comply with the common collaboration setting state.

  • Patent number: 11757727
    Abstract: A system and techniques for intelligent network design allows for capture and conversion of a basic network design, often manually created, into a digital format without duplication of effort. The disclosed techniques provide a faster, more intelligent approach for designing a network by analyzing many thousands of existing network designs and recommending proposed solutions based on user provided objectives. The techniques can generate provider independent code that provides flexibility in supporting arbitrary provider targets. The techniques can also output provider specific code that allow for rapid, efficient deployment of the network. In addition, the technique can output network system architecture designs of varying details that can be customized for the intended audience. The techniques provide for automated importing and updating provider changes to network components, schemas, and application programming interfaces reducing any lag in system design.

  • Patent number: 11750470
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for ensuring that one or more compliance information bundles associated with one or more end-point identifiers maintain compliance with one or more regulations. It is detected that a rules engine has been updated with a new regulation. Based on an identification that one or more compliance information bundles associated with the one or more end-point identifiers will not be compliant with the new regulation after an expiration of a grace period associated with the new regulation, a status associated with each one or more compliance information bundles is changed to a provisionally-approved status. The changing of the status associated with each of the one or more compliance information bundles to the provisionally-approved status causes each of the one or more compliance information bundles to be treated, temporarily like the status of each the one or more compliance information bundles is an approved status.
