  • Patent number: 12634196
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for configuring logical routers of a logical network. The logical routers are implemented in a Kubernetes cluster as a first set of Pods that each perform logical forwarding operations for the logical routers and a second set of Pods that each perform L7 service operations for a respective logical router. From a Kubernetes control plane component, the method receives a notification that the first set requires scaling to include an additional Pod. The first-set Pods process data messages between the logical network and external networks. Within the network management system, the method defines at least one new interface for processing data messages between the logical network and external networks. The method configures the at least one interface on the additional Pod to communicate with external physical routers to receive traffic from the external networks and send traffic to the external networks.

  • Patent number: 12627594
    Abstract: Techniques for ensuring symmetric forwarding between disparate networks are described herein. In active/standby hub architectures, hub nodes may be configured to convert a preference order (e.g., indicating a preferred hub node), specified by an endpoint on a wide-area network (WAN)-side of a network, into a local-area network (LAN)-side-routing-metric that is distributed to datacenter router(s) on the LAN-side of the network. When an active hub node loses connection to all of the available routing controllers, the active hub may automatically manipulate the LAN-side-routing-metric to make the metric worse than the standby hub to indicate that the routes being advertised by the active hub are “stale,” such that the datacenter routers prefer the standby hub, avoiding traffic asymmetry as a result of the lost connection.

  • Patent number: 12621214
    Abstract: A system for managing electronic data representing emergency alerts comprises a computing device associated with an asset and a server. The server receives threshold data from the computing device and one or more data records representing reports of an event. The server computes an anomaly metric based on a comparison of the event to recent events and, if the anomaly metric does not exceed a threshold, computes a trend metric based on the frequency of similar events over time. If either metric exceeds its respective threshold, the server transmits a control signal comprising an alert to the computing device. The system may apply natural language processing, machine learning, and knowledge graphs to evaluate event characteristics and generate contextual summaries. By filtering alerts based on relevance and context, the system conserves computing resources and enables early detection of emerging threats, improving the responsiveness and efficiency of emergency alert infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 12603851
    Abstract: Technologies for optimizing performance of virtual switches in networking and accelerated computing are described. A virtual switch can identify an addition of a first data path (DP) rule in a flow table. The virtual switch can determine that the first DP rule and a second DP rule in the flow table overlap. The addition of the first DP rule causes the second DP rule to be deleted in the flow table. Before the second DP rule is deleted, the virtual switch can simulate receipt of a simulated packet comprising the specified portion of the network header corresponding to a second DP rule identifier of the second DP rule. The receipt of the simulated packet causes a third DP rule to be added to the flow table. After the third DP rule is added, the virtual switch can delete the second DP rule.

  • Patent number: 12592995
    Abstract: A system for screening and routing incoming phone calls or text messages that includes an interceptor device which is operatively engaged with the phone and is arranged to receive all incoming calls or texts to the phone. When an incoming call or text to the phone is received by the interceptor device, programming provided in the interceptor device compares a phone number associated with the incoming call or text with a list of stored contact phone numbers. The incoming phone call may be disconnected if the phone number associated with originating the incoming call or text fails to match any of the stored contact phone numbers. The incoming call or text is routed to a known or designated contact from the stored contact phone numbers for approval.
