A range of device hash keys of the plurality of devices may be split into N approximately equal sectors, where N is a prime number and each sector includes 1/N of the device hash keys of the plurality of the devices. K monitoring workers provided by the server may monitor the plurality of devices in an order based on the respective device hash key, where K is an integer.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for extracting data from web applications. An exemplary embodiment includes monitoring web traffic between a client terminal and a server, the web traffic corresponding to a user's interaction with a web browser to send a request for data, such as a web page, from the client terminal to the server. A data log is created reflecting the monitored web traffic, and processed to extract the request for data. A command is generated for accessing the server based on the request for the data that was extracted from the data log. When the generated command is executed, it downloads the data from the server to the client terminal. Some embodiments are able to specify a pattern to search for in the downloaded web page, search the downloaded data for the pattern to identify data of interest and provide the identified data to a user.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed to enable an FLM designated as an owner, in a group of frames having redundant FLMs per frame, to ensure that an unresponsive “active” uplink is disabled, prior to allowing another uplink in the frame to become the active uplink. A group of frames, configured in a ring network topology, may only have a single uplink at a time. Otherwise, two or more concurrent active uplinks may cause a network loop that may result in total network failure (e.g., network crash). The disclosed method utilizes a coordination between an FLM owner on the ring and the neighbor FLM, in the same frame as the non-responsive FLM, to disable the active uplink, prior to transitioning to a new active uplink for the group of frames.

Abstract: A packet monitoring application instantiated on a server hosting a virtualized network stack is utilized to track data packet propagations and drops at each component within the network stack to reduce the amount of time to identify a root cause for latency issues. The packet monitoring application can be selectively enabled or disabled by an administrator. Components within the virtualized network stack report packet drops and successful packet propagations to the packet monitoring application, which can filter the packets based on input parameters. Thus, a user can select at what level of granularity to filter packets within the virtualized network stack while being able to assess each packet's traversal through each component within the network stack. The packet monitoring application can also perform post-processing of on the filtered data packets to determine latency among components or sections of the virtualized network stack.

The segmentation rule may be translated into a configuration associated with the enforcement point and the configuration communicated to the enforcement point.

Abstract: A control server receives probe data from a plurality of data centers indicating measured latencies with a first IP address associated with an origin server. The control server sums the measured latencies of a first data center having a lowest measured latency and a second data center. When the sum is below a threshold value, the control server determines the IP address to be an anycast IP address and selects a proper subset of the plurality of data centers as proxying data centers for other data centers in the plurality of data centers. When the sum is not below the threshold value, the control server determines the IP address to not be an anycast IP address and selects the first data center having the lowest measure latencies as the proxying data center for other data centers in the plurality of data centers.

Abstract: Examples relates to a method for selecting headend gateway for routing subnets of branch gateways of a geographic region in a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN). In some examples, an analyzer issues a subnet to each branch gateway of a first geographic region from a pool of contiguous IP addresses, selects a first set of headend gateways suited to be assigned to the branch gateways, ranks each of the first set of headend gateways based on a parameter that includes dynamic loading of each headend gateway or link health information between each of the headend gateways and the branch gateways, and forwards the information including the ranking of headend gateways of the first set to a network orchestrator of the SD-WAN to cause the network orchestrator to assign the branch gateways to the highest ranking gateway based on information including the ranking of the first set of headend gateways.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a service receives a plurality of device type classification rules, each rule comprising a device type label and one or more device attributes used as criteria for application of the label to a device in a network. The service estimates, across a space of the device attributes, device densities of devices having device attributes at different points in that space. The service uses the estimated device densities to identify two or more of the device type classification rules as having overlapping device attributes. The service determines that the two or more device type classification rules are in conflict, based on the two or more rules having different device type labels. The service generates a rule conflict resolution that comprises one of the device type labels from the conflicting two or more device type classification rules.

The one or more processors are also configured to determine one or more interdomain paths from an abstracted ingress domain node to an abstracted egress domain node and determine whether an abstracted domain node is on the one or more interdomain paths. The one or more processors are configured to, based on the abstracted domain node being on the one or more interdomain paths, include one or more resources within a network domain in a filtered traffic engineering database (TED) and compute a path from an ingress node within the ingress network domain to an egress node within the egress network domain based on the filtered TED.

Abstract: In networked communication systems, a document in a communication (e.g., a response) may be similar between multiple communications involving the same resource, such that duplicate data can be discarded and not stored by a network storage system. Storage of differences in network traffic facilitates compression of storage of network traffic, thereby significantly reducing data storage. Techniques are disclosed for efficient search and retrieval of the compressed data storage. Network traffic may be compared to communications in previous network traffic to identify differences if any. Resource templates may be generated for different (e.g., new) resources identified in network traffic. Storage of the different resources identified in network traffic enables compression of network traffic. Similarity matching may be implemented to improve processing performance for compact storage of network traffic, including determining differences in network traffic for storage.
