Abstract: Systems and methods for application of virtual host channel adapter configuration policies. An exemplary embodiment can provide a host channel adapter (HCA) with a control circuit and a memory, and at least one port operative to connect the HCA to a network fabric. A software driver of the HCA can provide a control API that exposes functionality to hyper-privileged software executing on the host. The hyper privileged software, through the control API, can request registration of a virtual HCA (vHCA) with a virtual function of the HCA. The HCA can forward the registration request to a subnet manger, which can retrieve configuration policies from a cache and return the policies to the HCA for implementation with the virtual function of the HCA.

Abstract: An example device includes a control unit that provides an execution environment for a network management application and a network interface. The network management application generates a request message based at least in part on a predicted amount of time required for the device to receive a response to a request message, wherein the predicted amount of time is based at least in part on object identifier processing time information, and wherein the predicted amount of time satisfies a timeout threshold. The network interface sends the request message and receives the response message. The network management application determines an amount of time that elapsed between when the device sent the request message and received the response message, and, responsive to determining that the amount of time that elapsed does not satisfy the timeout threshold, updates at least one of the object identifier processing time information and the timeout.

Abstract: An application performance management system is disclosed. Operational elements are dynamically discovered and extended when changes occur. Programmatic knowledge is captured. Particular instances of operational elements are recognized after changes have been made using a fingerprint/signature process. Metrics and metadata associated with a monitored operational element are sent in a compressed form to a backend for analysis. Metrics and metadata from multiple similar systems may be used to adjust/create expert rules to be used in the analysis of the state of an operational element. A 3-D user interface with both physical and logical representations may be used to display the results of the performance management system.

Abstract: An Internet infrastructure delivery platform operated by a provider enables HTTP-based service to identified third parties at large scale. The platform provides this service to one or more cloud providers. The approach enables the CDN platform provider (the first party) to service third party traffic on behalf of the cloud provider (the second party). In operation, an edge server handling mechanism leverages DNS to determine if a request with an unknown host header should be serviced. Before serving a response, and assuming the host header includes an unrecognized name, the edge server resolves the host header and obtains an intermediate response, typically a list of aliases (e.g., DNS CNAMEs). The edge server checks the returned CNAME list to determine how to respond to the original request. Using just a single edge configuration, the CDN service provider can support instant provisioning of a cloud provider's identified third party traffic.

Abstract: The systems and methods that maintain an IP address of a container when the container is moved from a first node to a second node in a data center are provided. Each node includes a local controller which is communicatively coupled to the central controller. The local controller generates an IP address for a container that executes on the first node. A label unique to the container is also generated on the first node. The local controller then synchronizes the IP address and the label of the container with the central controller. The central controller then passes the IP address and the label to the second node when the container is moved from the first node to the second node, and ensures that the IP address of the container remains the same before and after the move.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for updating configurations in sensors deployed in multi-layer virtualized environments. In some examples, a system can track information of sensors and collectors in the network. In response to determining that a specific collector becomes unavailable (e.g., the specific collector is down, offline or becomes unsupported), the system can determine affected sensors corresponding to the specific collector, determine a new collector among active collectors of the network for each of the affected sensors, and dynamically update configuration and settings of the affected sensors to maintain proper collector-to-sensor mappings and other settings on the affected sensors.

Abstract: A method and devices for handling crossed-invite situations in set-up of IP-based sessions. A local device receives an incoming session invite after sending an outgoing session invite before the outgoing session invite has been accepted. It then determines that the incoming session invite was sent by the remote device to which the outgoing session invite is also addressed. The method includes determining a remote device priority value from identifying information contained in the incoming session invite, comparing the remote device priority value with a local device priority value to determine whether the remote device or the local device is higher priority and, if the remote device is higher priority, canceling the outgoing session invite and displaying an incoming call answer screen for the incoming session invite, and if the local device is higher priority, waiting for cancelation of the incoming session invite and acceptance of the outgoing session invite.

Abstract: A data communication channel between a client and a service is preserved through a failure of the server by maintaining a request log and an inflight request queue in a protected memory region that preserves the contents of the request log and the inflight request queue even when the service encounters a failure. The method of restarting the data communication channel includes, upon the service being restarted following the failure of the service, determining whether the request log contains requests and, if so, copying the requests from the request log into the in-flight request queue and then removing the copied requests from the request log. The requests in the in-flight request queue, which include any that were in the in-flight request queue at the time of the failure of the service and any that were copied from the request log, are then processed.

Abstract: Functionality is disclosed for defining an auto-reply message while defining an appointment on a calendar associated with a user. A request may be received by way of a personal information management (PIM) client application to define a new appointment on a calendar associated with a user. A UI for defining the new appointment may be presented that includes a UI control for defining a time period for the new appointment and a UI control for defining an auto-reply message to be transmitted in response to email messages received during the time period. In response to the user defining the appointment and the auto-reply message, a request may be transmitted to a PIM server application to create the appointment along with an auto-reply message definition that defines the auto-reply message. The auto-reply message is then transmitted in response to email messages received during the time period associated with the meeting.

Abstract: A method provides a server a request for server transaction processing, the request being a session request of an outer non-persistent session between a client and the server, the outer non-persistent session including the session request to initiate the outer non-persistent session and a session response to terminate the outer non-persistent session. The method includes, for each inner non-persistent session between the client and the server performed as part of a server transaction, receiving a session request from the server that initiates the inner non-persistent session and provides a response to a client request to process a corresponding first transaction portion, and providing a session response to the server that terminates the inner non-persistent session and provides a client request to process a corresponding second transaction portion. The method also includes receiving from the server the session response of the outer non-persistent session to terminate the outer non-persistent session.
