  • Patent number: 11855875
    Abstract: This application discloses a network topology discovery method and a node device. In this application, a root node device sends a link discovery message to a child node device through a first port; receives a link discovery acknowledge message sent by the child node device through a second port of the child node device, where the link discovery acknowledge message includes an identifier of the child node device and an identifier of the second port; and determines a first link based on the link discovery acknowledge message, where the first link is a link between the first port and the second port. According to the solutions of this application, when detecting that a link of a port is connected, the node device discovers an existing topology relationship through message interaction, so as to implement network topology discovery.

  • Patent number: 11799770
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing name-based routing through networks. In various embodiments, a broker manager in each of a plurality of networks may receive a subscription request for a network device from a client device, each device being locally accessible or disposed in an upstream or downstream network. The broker manager uses its client broker to communicate with a locally accessible client device, and uses its mediator broker (and, sometimes, an intermediate device(s)) to communicate with a locally accessible network device. The broker manager otherwise uses its messaging brokers to communicate with control channels of one or more networks. Once subscription with the network device has been established, any commands and responses between the client device and the network device may be routed over pub/sub channels via the broker managers and their brokers using name-based routing, without routing based on IP address of the network device.

  • Patent number: 11792301
    Abstract: Manifest files for proxies within an application mesh or service mesh are created using parallel computing. Virtual services in a mesh definition are identified. For each of the virtual services, one or more virtual nodes that receive traffic from the virtual service are identified. For each of the virtual nodes that receive traffic from the virtual service, an edge is added to a first graph. Virtual nodes that send network traffic to at least one of the virtual services are then identified. For each virtual node that sends traffic to the virtual service, an edge is added to a second graph. Then an optimized per node network topology is generated based at least in part on the first graph and the second graph.

  • Patent number: 11792106
    Abstract: A method is applied to a ring link, where the ring link includes a first node, a second node, a third node, and a fourth node in sequence. According to the method, the first node receives first traffic, where the first node is a source node that sends the first traffic on the ring link; and the first node sends the first traffic to the third node, where two reachable paths with equal hop counts are included from the first node to the third node, the first node sends the first traffic to the third node on a preset first transmission path, the first transmission path passes through the second node, and the first transmission path is one of the two reachable paths with equal hop counts. This method can reduce computing load of nodes while implementing non-blocking switching of traffic between the nodes.

  • Patent number: 11743346
    Abstract: A detection device monitors a communication event including communication by humans when a legitimate user accesses sensitive data for each legitimate user. The detection device builds a profile of the user indicating normal behavior when the user accesses the sensitive data by performing machine learning on a result of the monitoring. After that, the detection device acquires a communication event when a user to be authenticated accesses sensitive data. The detection device determines whether behavior of the user to be authenticated indicated in the acquired communication event corresponds to normal behavior when the user accesses the sensitive data indicated in a profile of the user, and outputs a result of the determination.
