Abstract: Embodiments relate to dynamic horizontal autoscaling for a multi-tenant service. According to an aspect, a computer-implemented method includes configuring a network computing element to route a plurality of requests from two or more clients to a service in a containerized-networked system. A horizontal service-level autoscaler monitors one or more aspects of the requests to the service from the two or more clients. A new pod including a set of running containers with shared resources in the containerized-networked system is created based at least in part on the horizontal service-level autoscaler determining that at least one of the one or more aspects of the requests exceeds a threshold. A new service mapping is created to accept subsequent requests from one of the two or more clients that triggered creation of the new pod.

Abstract: A system and method for managing network communication in an asymmetric network environment. The system includes a gateway. The gateway receives a plurality of packets for transmission over first communication network. The plurality of packets are received via primary network path. The gateway dynamically evaluates the plurality of packets. The gateway classifies the plurality of packets into a latency sensitive packet and a latency agnostic packet. The gateway determines network capacity of the primary network path and a secondary network path. The gateway splits the latency sensitive packet and the latency agnostic packet between the primary network path and the secondary network path. The gateway selects the primary network path for transmitting the latency sensitive packet. The gateway selects the secondary network path for transmitting the latency agnostic packet over downstream transmission.

Abstract: Methods and systems for partially or fully distributed network verification are described. In partially distributed network verification, each network device generates a respective device-level binary decision diagram (BDD) representing the logical behavior of the respective network device for a network property of interest. The device-level BDDs from each network device are received by a verification service that performs verification by generating an input BDD representing an input header space, and applies each device-level BDD in a logical path from a source device to a destination device, and reports the output BDD. In fully distributed network verification, each network device is responsible for calculating a device-specific output BDD by applying a device-specific BDD, which represents the logical behavior of the network device, to a device-specific input BDD.

Abstract: Versions of a sequencing system may be monitored to enable changing of a version of a server subsystem operating the sequencing system to service requests from client subsystems for performing analysis of sequencing data. A monitor subsystem may be utilized for receiving and authorizing requests from client subsystems. The monitor subsystem may identify a version associated with a server subsystem operating the sequencing system to be implemented for servicing the request. The monitor subsystem may allow the server subsystem to be accessed for servicing the request from the client subsystem when the version associated with the client subsystem is compatible with the version associated with the server subsystem. The monitor subsystem may prevent the server subsystem from being accessed when the version associated with the client subsystem is incompatible with the version associated with the server subsystem.

The health service requests outcome data from at least one of the service instances, and calculates a status indicator for the service instance, wherein the status indicator is calculated based on results from internal recursive checks performed throughout the microservice architecture of the service instance and heuristic calculations performed on service request performance data. After calculating the status indicator, the health service triggers a dynamic update to the DNS according to the calculated status indicator.

Abstract: A central networking system supports efficient identification and analysis of problems that occur at associated nodes on the network. Using network monitoring rules, the central networking system samples data from a subset of nodes in response to an indication that an error or problem has occurred on the network. If the collected sample data is determined to satisfy certain network conditions, the central networking system proceeds to perform network operations on nodes of the entire network, as appropriate. Thus, the system does not need to collect data from every node in a large network to address potential network threats. The central networking system also defines rules for detecting when a node experiencing a problem violates safety conditions such that it is impossible or inadvisable to pull analytical data from the node. The system performs appropriate remedial actions to address the node problems prior to requesting data for analysis.

Abstract: This application provides a data distribution method includes: A network device buffers first data, where the first data is data of a service that is provided by a server for a first terminal device; the network device receives N first data requests sent by N second terminal devices; and when data requested by the N first data requests is data provided by the server based on the service, the network device intercepts the N first data requests and sends the buffered first data to the N second terminal devices. This can reduce a plurality of connections that are used to transmit data of a same service and that exist on a channel between the server and the network device, thereby occupying a smaller downlink bandwidth to transmit the data of the same service from the server to the network device.
