Patent number: 11807402Abstract: Instead of users (e.g., independent owners/operators of different satellites) having to calculate orbit determination for each satellite themselves, an orbit determination service automatically calculates the orbit determination (OD) based on a user request. The calculated OD can then be used by a satellite ground station service to determine appropriate orientations for a ground station antenna in order to communicate with the satellite. In some embodiments, the OD service uses information from the calculations of ODs for multiple satellites and users to update a model used in the OD calculation, for example, to provide a more accurate model for Earth's atmosphere to be applied in subsequent OD calculations. In some embodiments, the OD service uses a user-provided computer-aided drawing (CAD) file of the satellite to produce or tune models specific to the satellite, for example, to generate more accurate models for solar radiation pressure and ballistic drag.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Ryan M.

Patent number: 11799761Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for forwarding data messages between edge nodes that perform stateful processing on flows between a logical network and an external network. At a particular edge node, the method receives a data message belonging to a flow. The edge nodes use a deterministic algorithm to select one of the edge nodes to perform processing for each flow. The method identifies a first edge node to perform processing for the flow in a previous configuration and a second edge node to perform processing for the flow in a new configuration according to the algorithm. When the first and second edge nodes are different, the method uses a probabilistic filter and a stateful connection tracker to determine whether the flow existed prior to a particular time. When the flow did not exist prior to that time, the method selects the second edge node for the received data message.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Yong Wang, Xinhua Hong, Hongwei Zhu

Patent number: 11683271Abstract: In one embodiment, associated differential processing of decapsulated packets is performed using Service Function Instances (SFIs) identified by Service Function Values (SFVs) derived from their encapsulating transport packets. By using different SFVs associated with different processing policies within a same processing context, one embodiment performs differential processing of streams of packets (arriving in transport packets) as identified by the particular SFV obtained from each particular transport packet. In other words, the processing policy identifies processing performed on the corresponding decapsulated original packet, not processing of the transport packet. Thus, if the original packet is an Internet Protocol (IP) packet, the SFI identifies Layer 3 processing that is performed on the original IP packet. Additionally, one embodiment uses a route advertising protocol (e.g., Border Gateway Protocol) to distribute associations between different SFVs and different addresses in a processing context (e.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Patrice Brissette, Jiri Chaloupka, Yuri Tsier, Hadee Akhand, Vijay Umakant Wagle
