Publication number: 20210377294Abstract: Implementations of the systems and methods discussed herein provide for distributed HTTP proxy services with synchronization of per-server or per-tenant resource allocation counters amongst the proxy devices, allowing devices to quickly identify denial of service attacks or other malicious or erroneous behavior. In some implementations, a database server may receive resource consumption notifications from each of a plurality of proxy devices and may aggregate the notifications or increment a counter on a per-server or per-tenant basis, and provide updated counter values to proxy devices via callbacks. Each proxy device may check the counter value before utilizing resources, and may disable or block proxy processing responsive to the counter exceeding a threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2020Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Punit Gupta, Sandilya Sangabathula, Kenneth Bell

Publication number: 20210377177Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method to reduce the overall time taken to complete distributed process workflows. Each workflow can include multiple actions that are completed by or at different client devices. The actions of a workflow can be dependent on prior actions in the workflow. For example, a second client device may not be able to complete a second action until a first client device completes a first action in the workflow. The system can predict time periods and the geolocations where client devices are most likely to complete an assigned action. Using the selected time periods and geolocations, the system can transmit notifications to the client devices when the action is most likely to be completed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Praveen Raja Dhanabalan, Saurabh Pant

Publication number: 20210377211Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for cross protocol association using internet addresses for metadata association. An association between IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses can determined and used to bridge metadata from collection context in a first protocol into usage for a second protocol. A server can monitor a plurality of handshake exchanges to generate the association between IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses for a device or group of devices. The handshake exchange can include an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address for a respective device. The handshake exchanges can include a unique identifier corresponding to the respective device. The server can use the association to generate a mapping linking a range of IPv4 addresses to a range of IPv6 addresses corresponding to the same device. The mapping can be used to associate metadata to devices within the same ranges.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Josh Thomas Gray, Thomas Edward Roth

Publication number: 20210368009Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for pushing session information to a newly joined node in a cluster of nodes. In the cluster, each node may maintain a session table of existing sessions. One or more nodes may detect a new node has joined the cluster. Each node, responsive to the detection, may apply a hash function on a tuple of each session of the existing sessions in the session table of the node to determine whether one or more existing sessions are identified to be owned by the new node as a result of the hash function. Each node, responsive to identifying that one or more sessions are to be owned by the new node, may push corresponding session information to the new node. The new node may become configured to receive a packet corresponding to the one or more sessions and to process the packet.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Applicant: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Sandhya Gopinath, Sathaiah Dontula, Ranjith Nath
