Abstract: A method and system of network control is disclosed. The method and system includes collecting real-time operation information on one or more first network elements of a network, selecting a policy to be implemented by at least one second network element, different from the first network element, responsive to the collected real time information from the one or more first network elements, the at least one second element including an end-point element of the network and enforcing the selected policy on an agent hosted by the at least one second network element.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for identifying one or more causes of a computer executing one or more processes running slowly, the system includes: apparatus for detecting states of one or more threads of the one or more processes; apparatus for identifying one or more of said one or more processes that have one or more threads with wait states that occur above a threshold to indicate which modules within a process or processes is causing said computer to run slowly. In one embodiment the system as the apparatus for detecting states periodically polls the one or more threads of the processes. The system can also include a data structure to store the states of each of said one or more threads each time said thread is polled. The system can be one in which one or more threads are UI threads. In still another embodiment the system the apparatus for detecting states includes apparatus for hooking voluntary API calls.
