Patent number: 11563641Abstract: A traffic shifting system is described to shift traffic away from one or more network devices or interfaces. The system ensures that traffic can be safely shifted off of a network device before the shifting occurs. The method is described as broken into several phases, such as a discovery phase, a pre-check phase, a shifting phase, and a post-shift phase. Before shifting occurs, the discovery phase is used to obtain network topology and configuration information. In the pre-check phase, that information is interrogated so that a shifting can be performed without negatively impacting the network. If the pre-check phase is passed, then the network shifting can occur through adjustment of configuration parameters, such as a cost parameter associated with an interface on any devices for which traffic is being shifted. Finally, in the post-shift phase, checks are performed to ensure traffic is shifting away from the network device.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dzianis Lisouski, Michal Zygmunt Zawirski, Robert Kennedy, Karl Andre McCabe, Paul A.

Patent number: 10129089Abstract: A traffic shifting system is described to shift traffic away from one or more network devices or interfaces on those devices. The system ensures that traffic can be safely shifted off of a network device before the shifting occurs. The method is described as broken into several phases for simplicity, such as a discovery phase, a pre-check phase, a shifting phase, and a post-shift phase. Before shifting occurs, the discovery phase is used to obtain network topology and configuration information. In the pre-check phase, that information is interrogated so that a shifting can be performed without negatively impacting the network. If the pre-check phase is passed, then the network shifting can occur through adjustment of configuration parameters, such as a cost parameter. Finally, in the post-shift phase, checks are performed to ensure traffic is shifting away from the network device.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dzianis Lisouski, Michal Zygmunt Zawirski, Robert Kennedy, Karl Andre McCabe, Paul A.

Patent number: 10075418Abstract: A modular encryption device includes a chassis configured to mount in a rack with a networking device and sets of ports mounted on the chassis. Encryption cards are mounted in the chassis of the modular encryption device between ports of the sets of ports such that network traffic flowing through a set of ports flows through one of the encryption cards. The encryption cards of the modular encryption device are configured to encrypt and decrypt network traffic flowing between the networking device and a remote device. In some embodiments, a modular encryption device may encrypt and decrypt network traffic flowing between multiple networking devices and multiple remote devices. Also, in some embodiments, components of a modular encryption device are removable and replaceable such that the modular encryption device can be reconfigured by exchanging the components.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Stancik, Frederick David Sinn

Patent number: 10050670Abstract: A power distribution system includes two or more power components that distribute power to one or more electrical components. At least some of the power components send and receive signals over power transmission lines to upstream or downstream power components in the power distribution system. The signals include information about power components in the power distribution system.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2015Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter J. Hill, Matthew D. Rehder, Joseph J. Lindsay, John William Eichelberg, Daniel J. Rohrabaugh, Andrew Bruce Dickinson, Thomas Bradley Scholl, Travis S. Pepper, Michael Phillip Czamara, Richard M.
