  • Patent number: 12010001
    Abstract: Techniques for extending network elements to inspect, extract, and complement tracing information added to L7 flows by application distributed tracing systems. The techniques may include receiving a Layer-7 (L7) message of an L7 flow associated with a distributed application and determining that the L7 message includes tracing information. In some examples, the tracing information may be mapped to a marking that is to be included in a Layer 3 (L3) or Layer-4 (L4) packet carrying the L7 message, and the L3 or L4 packet including the marking may be sent to an L3 or L4 network element. In some examples, the L3 or L4 network element may be configured to utilize the marking to determine a network decision for the L3 or L4 packet.

  • Patent number: 11985074
    Abstract: One example method includes adjusting overall resource usage in a digital twin network that includes a dynamically informed digital twin of a near-edge node and a dynamically informed digital twin of far-edge nodes. Operational conditions of a dynamically informed digital twin are evaluated based on contextual variables that represent operating properties of the dynamically informed digital twin. Updated information levels are received from an orchestration service of the dynamically informed digital twin. The updated information levels define an amount of resources the dynamically informed digital twin will use in the performance of primary tasks. The updated information levels are parsed. A physical entity associated with the dynamically informed digital twin is informed to adjust sampling properties or increase or decrease its activity and the dynamically informed digital twin is informed to modify information processing methods to thereby adjust the overall resource usage in the digital twin network.

  • Patent number: 11924075
    Abstract: Systems and methods are contemplated for reconfiguration of one or more MAC instances while the WTRU is operating using dual- or multi-MAC instance connectivity. For example, upon reception of RRC reconfiguration information that modifies one or more secondary MAC instances, the WTRU may transmit a reconfiguration complete message to a Macro eNB (MeNB) and may synchronize to small-cell or secondary eNB (SeNB), for example if triggered by one or more of an RRC flag, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order (MeNB/SeNB), MAC activation information, etc. For example, the WTRU may synchronize to the SeNB for specific type(s) of RRC reconfigurations, but not other type(s) of RRC reconfigurations. Although examples may be described in terms of dual connectivity, the WTRU may establish connectivity and perform mobility procedures with more than two radio access network (RAN) nodes (e.g., eNBs), and the embodiments described may be equally applicable to those scenarios.

  • Patent number: 11921595
    Abstract: The present invention provides a System and method for multi-tiered data synchronization. Data is synchronized between a master synchronization server, one or more proxy synchronization servers, and client devices. Client devices establish synchronization sessions with either a proxy synchronization server or a master synchronization server, depending on which server provides the “best” available connection to that client device. Each proxy synchronization server synchronizes data with client devices that have established a synchronization session with such proxy synchronization server. The master synchronization server synchronizes data with client devices that have established a synchronization session with the master synchronization server. Each proxy synchronization server synchronizes data with the master synchronization server. Metadata associated with synchronized files is synchronized throughout the system in real-time. Files may be synchronized in real-time or of a delayed time.

  • Patent number: 11902234
    Abstract: A method for prohibiting email content propagation that receives, at a server, an email message. At the server, at least one email address associated with the email message which is designated not to receive a content of the email message is identified. At the server, the email message is modified by selectively removing a content of the email message to be conveyed to the at least one email address. The server conveys the modified email message to the at least one email address. The server conveys the email message to one or more recipient email addresses except the at least one email address. Consequently, the server has sent a submitted message to multiple email addresses, while modifying the content sent to a subset of the addresses that received the email message.

  • Patent number: 11888809
    Abstract: This application provides a communication method, a gateway, and a management method and apparatus. A first data center is configured to provide non-public cloud services, and a second data center is configured to provide public cloud services. A gateway configured in the second data center is connected to a first subnet of the first data center, and is connected to a second subnet of the second data center. The first subnet and the second subnet have a same private network segment. The method includes: a layer 2 gateway receives a first address resolution protocol (ARP) request packet, which is used to request a MAC address of a second device in the second subnet, sent by a first device in the first subnet, and the gateway sends the first ARP reply packet, which carries a first MAC address of the gateway, to the first device.

  • Patent number: 11876674
    Abstract: The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of determining network segmentation. The innovation can search a network to determine a set of network entities, the network entities belonging to the network, and determine network factors of each network entity in the set of network entities. The innovation can evaluate each network factor and determine segmentation candidates based on the evaluation of each network factor. The innovation can determine a risk ranking for each network factor for each network entity and aggregate each risk ranking into a segmentation score for each network entity. The innovation can determine a segmentation candidate when a network entity segmentation score satisfies a threshold score. The innovation can generate a sub-network that is part of the network for the segmentation candidate, and transfer the segmentation candidate to the sub-network.
