Patent number: 11184235Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for “direct mode” (in-band) performance loss measurement in computer networks where packet loss is measured directly in the data plane using techniques based on ECMP paths. Counters on each of an ingress node and an egress node are configured by a network controller to count traffic for indicators associated with different equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) paths through a network between ingress and egress nodes. Each indicator is toggled on or off during a measurement interval during which traffic is measured by the traffic counters on the ingress and egress nodes for each ECMP path. The traffic counters (measured in bytes/packets) from the ingress and egress nodes are sent via event driven telemetry to the network controller for performance loss measurement determination.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Clarence Filsfils, Rakesh Gandhi, Zafar Ali

Patent number: 11089124Abstract: Hybrid pull and push based streaming selectively performs a pull-based distribution of a stream to a first point-of-presence (“PoP”) of a distributed platform having low demand for the stream, and a push-based distribution of the stream to a second PoP of the distributed platform having high demand for the stream. The push-based distribution may be used to prepopulate the second PoP cache with the live stream data as the live stream data is uploaded from an encoder to a source PoP of the distributed platform, and before that live stream data is requested by the second PoP. In doing so, requests for the live stream data received at the second PoP may result in cache hits with the requested live stream data being immediately served from the second PoP cache without having to retrieve the live stream data from outside the second PoP.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Verizon Digital Media Services Inc.Inventors: Karthik Sathyanarayana, Harkeerat Singh Bedi, Sergio Leonardo Ruiz

Patent number: 10715630Abstract: A Common Information Module (CIM) interoperability system includes a server device coupled to a network. A remote access controller in the server device is coupled to server component(s), and includes a CIM provider coupled via a CIM provider communication subsystem to a REpresentational State Transfer (REST)-CIM provider. The REST-CIM provider receives a REST request generated by a client device and redirected to the REST-CIM provider by the server device, and converts the REST request to CIM request. The REST-CIM provider then makes a call to the CIM provider that includes the CIM request and is based on a type of HTTP method request in the REST request. When the REST-CIM provider receives a CIM response from the CIM provider, it converts Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI) response data in that CIM response to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) objects, and provides the JSON objects to the server device.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Chitrak Gupta, Chandrasekhar Puthillathe, Kiran Krishnappa, Abhirup Seal, Hari Venkatachalam
