  • Patent number: 9584513
    Abstract: The disclosed network resource management system employs a hardware configuration management (HCM) information handling system (IHS) that may couple to a single administered IHS or to multiple administered IHSs via an administrative network. An HCM tool in the HCM IHS may generate, modify and store hardware configuration information, including physical network identifications (PNet IDs), in an HCM database and share the HCM database with the administered IHSs. The administered IHS may be a privileged network access (PNA) IHS. The PNA IHS may receive a privileged network access management (PNAM) database from a PNAM IHS via the administrative network. The PNA tool may extract hardware configuration information, including PNet IDs, from the HCM database and privileged network access information, including PNet IDs, from the PNAM database. The PNA tool may utilize the information, including PNet IDs, to enable the PNA IHS to limit access to privileged networks.

  • Patent number: 9544255
    Abstract: A method of routing data from a source to one or more clients over a network, where the data conforms to a structured meta-language; in which the routing is performed by a server applying rules to the data itself, and not any address accompanying the data, to determine where to route that data to. The present invention is predicated on the counter-intuitive insight that data does not need to be concealed within a data envelope and given an address label in order to be routed effectively and efficiently. Instead, routing can be performed on the actual content of a message by applying simple routing rules to the data itself by intelligent ‘routing’ servers within the network which can unpack data from their message envelopes and intelligently filter/combine them with data unpacked from other messages to achieve a routing function.

  • Patent number: 9531830
    Abstract: A server system may include a request handler and a storage. The request handler may receive at least one request from a program on a user side. The storage may include a first cache and a second cache, storing data in format directly compatible to the program. The first cache stores only data matching to a server. If the at least one request corresponds to a change to the data from the program, then the second cache stores the at least one request and the request handler sends the at least one request to the server for updating the change.

  • Patent number: 9525740
    Abstract: According to an example, to access a network through a Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP) includes assigning a private network IP address to a public network user device, and transmitting a route of a surveillance segment to the public network user device, such that, after the route of the surveillance segment is received by the public network user device, an IP address of the L2TP virtual interface of the public network user device is configured as a next-hop of the route. When an access request to a surveillance device in the private network is initiated, a routing table of the public network user device is searched to find a matching route of the surveillance segment according to an IP address of the surveillance device. The access request is transmitted to an L2TP server through the L2TP virtual interface, and forwarded to the surveillance device.

  • Patent number: 9515907
    Abstract: A monitoring method of a monitoring module is applied to a server. The server includes the monitoring module and a system. The monitoring module receives a status message from the system every monitoring time interval, and the status message reflects a status of the system. When the status message received by the monitoring module is OFF status message, the monitoring chip records the status of the system as ON status and starts counting. When a number of the monitoring module counting does not reach to a designated number, the monitoring chip records the status of the system as ON status. When the number of the monitoring chip counting reaches to the designated number, the monitoring chip records the status of the system as OFF status.

  • Patent number: 9503502
    Abstract: Feedback received from users regarding potential problems with an application, service, or other source of electronic content can be configured to include additional information that help triangulate the source of the problem. Content provided by third parties can be combined with content from a primary provider, but the primary provider often will be unable to determine the precise instance of third party content that a user received that might have posed a problem for the user, as may relate to malware or another such issue. By configuring feedback submissions from users to automatically include identifying information, and by logging session data for various users, a content provider can analyze and filter the data to determine likely sources of the problem, and deactivate or otherwise address those sources. Further, the content provider can analyze the information to locate any users likely to have been exposed to the same third party content.

  • Patent number: 9501093
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for measuring clock skew between two remote hosts connected through a computer network. According to some examples, pairs of probe packets, also referred to as a compound probe, may be transmitted over an end-to-end path in both directions (forward and reverse paths) to measure a gap value at the end nodes for clock skew estimation. Compound probes may arrive at the end nodes with a zero dispersion gap (no separation) and the gap values along the forward and reverse paths may be determined by a capacity of the links connected to the end nodes added to the clock speeds of the measuring nodes upon arriving at the end nodes. The link capacity is a constant network parameter. Thus, the ratio of the measured gap values may provide an estimate of clock speed discrepancy between the end nodes.

  • Patent number: 9495212
    Abstract: The disclosed network resource management system employs a hardware configuration management (HCM) information handling system (IHS) that may couple to a single administered IHS or to multiple administered IHSs via an administrative network. An HCM tool in the HCM IHS may generate, modify and store hardware configuration information, including physical network identifications (PNet IDs), in an HCM database and share the HCM database with the administered IHSs. The administered IHS may be a remote direct memory access (RDMA) enabled network interface controller (RNIC) converging IHS. An RNIC converging tool may extract hardware configuration information, including PNet IDs, from the HCM database. The RNIC converging tool may utilize the hardware configuration information, including PNet IDs, to enable the RNIC converging IHS to communicate over a network with RDMA protocols.

  • Patent number: 9485800
    Abstract: Wireless communication systems may transfer communication status to a session icon that is displayed on a wireless communication device such as a smart phone, a tablet, a personal computer, a game console, a hand-held or wearable console, or other software processing device that has a wireless transceiver. A session quality server system obtains communication status data for a set of communication contacts. The session quality server system transfers the communication status data of the contact set over to the wireless communication device. Before a media session such as a voice call is established with a communication contact, the wireless communication device displays a session icon for that communication contact. The communication status of that contact is visually indicated in the session icon.

  • Patent number: 9473434
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided. Some embodiments include receiving, at a first server from a client, a request to access a data object associated with an application on a second server. The first server sends a request for the data object to the second server and the first server receives the data object from the second server. The first server receives a first file from the client and determines whether a second file is attached to the data object. In response to determining that the second file is attached to the data object, the first server obtains the second file and generates a third file by merging the first file and the second file, and an update process is performed such that the third file is attached to the data object and the second file is not attached to the data object.
