  • Patent number: 10896432
    Abstract: A network metering service obtains from a data store raw metering data specifying network bandwidth utilization for a plurality of customers. The network metering service aggregates this data in order to identify bandwidth usage for each service of a computing resource service provider and for each customer. Based on this data, the network metering service determines a peak-to-average score and a correlation coefficient for each customer, which may be used to determine a unit cost burden. The network metering service may utilize the unit cost burden for each customer to determine whether the customer should be provided with a discounted rate for network bandwidth usage or should incur a price increase.

  • Patent number: 10681046
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for identifying an unauthorized device in a network environment that comprises a plurality of heterogeneous devices. In some embodiments, tests may be performed about a device, using information provided by the device, information about the device obtained from a neighboring device, or information about a placement of the device within a network topology. These tests may be used to determine whether a device is unauthorized for the network.

  • Patent number: 9992064
    Abstract: The following description is directed to configuring network devices. In one example, at a network device deployment pipeline, a request can be received from a non-integrated configuration tool to configure a network device of a network. The configuration of the network device can be scheduled so that both an integrated configuration tool of the network device deployment pipeline and the non-integrated configuration tool can configure the network.

  • Patent number: 9893940
    Abstract: The following description is directed to topologically aware network device configuration. In one example, components to be configured within a network can be mapped to one or more redundancy groups within a network topology of the network. The components to be configured can be selectively configured within the network so that network traffic continues during the configuration. Selectively configuring the components can include choosing an order to configure the components based on configuration rules and the mapping of the components to the one or more redundancy groups.

  • Patent number: 9419856
    Abstract: The following description is directed to configuring network devices. In one example, a deployed configuration for a network device can be collected. The deployed configuration can be representative of a state of the network device at the time of collection. A difference can be detected between the deployed configuration and an authoritative configuration for the network device. In response to detecting the difference, an update of the network device according to the authoritative configuration for the network device can be scheduled.

  • Patent number: 9400996
    Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting, selecting, and displaying an image or image set in a network based environment are described. The systems and methods can collect multiple images for any given item from multiple sources, select a desired image (or set of images) that best depicts that item, and then display that selected image (or image set) in the network based environment. The desired image (or image set) that best depicts the item can be selected using any number or combination of pre-selected criteria. By using the pre-selected criteria, the process needs no manual intervention, and can therefore be automated or semi-automated to save both time and cost.

  • Publication number: 20140222626
    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting a user interface that shows a consolidated representation for an item available from multiple sources are described. The multiple offerings of the same items offered for sale by multiple sellers are combined into a simple user interface that is transparent to the consumer, but where the consumer can find an item and all of its attributes as though it was offered for sale by a single seller. The user interface can be created when a consumer selects an item, a list is generated of the sellers offering that item for sale, a list is generated of the various attributes of the item, a representation for each attribute is gathered, and an optimal representation for each attribute can be generated for display to the consumer when that attributed is selected by the consumer. The process for creating and modifying such a user interface can be automated or semi-automated, decreasing the manual intervention needed.
