  • Patent number: 9923826
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present solution provide a more optimal solution by dynamically and automatically reacting to changing network workload. A system that starts slowly, either by just examining traffic passively or by doing sub-optimal acceleration can learn over time, how many peer WAN optimizers are being serviced by an appliance, how much traffic is coming from each peer WAN optimizers, and the type of traffic being seen. Knowledge from this learning can serve to provide a better or improved baseline for the configuration of an appliance. In some embodiments, based on resources (e.g., CPU, Memory, Disk), the system from this knowledge may determine how many WAN optimization instances should be used and of what size, and how the load should be distributed across the instances of the WAN optimizer.

  • Patent number: 9923808
    Abstract: Internet protocol packets are statelessly identified as associated with a particular session-instance by identifying a key, or session-instance identifier, within the data (or payload) portion of a user plane packet. This identifier is specific to the session-instance and remains constant throughout the session-instance. Using this stateless identification, transmitted user plane packets are automatically routed at the transmission speed of the transmission link using a method that automatically balances the analysis processing load between network probes. The load is balanced by routing the user plane packet to a network probe that is either already analyzing the session-instance or by routing the user plane packet to a system that has processing capacity to analyze a new session-instance. The network probe then analyzes the user plane packet and the session-instance to measure the quality of the user experience of the session-instance and performance of the network.

  • Patent number: 9922209
    Abstract: A formal verification approach verifies data access and data propagation paths in a circuit design by proving the unreachability of path cover properties of the circuit design. A security path verification system receives an original circuit model of a circuit design, along with parameters identifying a first location within the circuit design that is a source of tainted data and a second location within the circuit design that is coupled to the first location. The security path verification system also receives a selection of portions of the circuit design to be excluded from the verification analysis. Using an abstracted version of the exclude portions, the security verification system generates a second circuit model of the circuit design for use in determining whether the tainted data can reach the second location from the first location within the circuit design.

  • Patent number: 9921773
    Abstract: Deduplicated data storage is provided by presenting a virtual volume mapped by a translation table to a physical volume of a physical data storage system. The translation table maps sets of ranges of duplicate data blocks of the virtual volume to corresponding individual ranges of shared data blocks of the physical volume. A hash table for identifying duplicate data is indexed by a portion of a hash value calculated from newly written data blocks, and has entries each identifying an address alignment of the corresponding data block. In operation, existing entries are replaced with new entries for colliding data blocks having better address alignment, promoting wider address-space separation of the entries. Upon occurrence of a hit in the hash table, for a given data block in a range of newly written data blocks, data blocks of the range are compared to corresponding blocks in a range identified by the hit to maximize a size of a region to be identified by the translation table as duplicate data.
