  • Patent number: 12155567
    Abstract: A method of transmitting a covert message over a network from an origin device to a destination device includes using selection a plurality of network paths, network channels, and network tunnels to signal to the destination device symbols. Sequences of the symbols are interpreted by the destination device as values in an n-based number system. The values are decoded by the destination device to obtain the covert message. Some preferred implementations use a binary number system and some use a hexadecimal number system. Some utilize network path selection and incorporate network watermarks, by which the network path that was selected for each received packet is determined. Network paths preferably are differentiated from one another by redirects that are storage servers in an overlay network. Network communications can be opened between the origin device and destination device for continuously communicating packets without signaling symbols when no covert message is being transmitted.

  • Patent number: 12074846
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for scaling an IP address in overlay networks without using load balancers. In certain implementations, an overlay IP address can be attached to multiple compute instances via virtual network interface cards (VNICs) associated with the multiple compute instances. Traffic directed to the multi-attached IP address is distributed across the multiple compute instances. In some other implementations, ECMP techniques in overlay networks are used to scale an overlay IP address. In forwarding tables used for routing packets, the IP address being scaled is associated with multiple next hop paths to multiple network virtualization devices (NVDs) associated with the multiple compute instances. When a particular packet directed to the overlay IP address is to be routed, one of the multiple next hop paths is selected for routing the packet. This enables packets directed to the IP address to be distributed across the multiple compute instances.

  • Patent number: 12058355
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for high-performance, low latency start-up of large shared media files. A method for low latency startup with low defect playback commences upon identifying a first media file having a first format to be converted to a second media file having a second format. A scheduler divides the first media file into multiple partitions separated by partition boundaries. The method continues by converting the partitions into respective converted partitions that comport with the second format. Determinations as to the position of the partition boundaries is made based on measurable conditions present at a particular moment in time. Different formats receive different treatment based on the combination of characteristics of the first format, characteristics of the second format, as well as on characteristics of measurable conditions present at the moment in time just before conversion of a segment.

  • Patent number: 12047242
    Abstract: Described is a novel framework, we call intent-based computing jobs assignment framework, for efficiently accommodating a clients' computing job requests in a mobile edge computing infrastructure. We define the intent-based computing job assignment problem, which jointly optimizes the virtual topology design and virtual topology mapping with the objective of minimizing the total bandwidth consumption. We use the Integer Linear Programming (ILP) technique to formulate this problem, and to facilitate the optimal solution. In addition, we employ a novel and efficient heuristic algorithm, called modified Steiner tree-based (MST-based) heuristic, which coordinately determines the virtual topology design and the virtual topology mapping. Comprehensive simulations to evaluate the performance of our solutions show that the MST-based heuristic can achieve an efficient performance that is close to the optimal performance obtained by the ILP solution.

  • Patent number: 12034598
    Abstract: When a controller receives a tunnel setting order from a high-order Ops (operation system), the controller divides the setting order into a first setting processing step related to setting registration of a user, a second setting processing step related to a transfer surface of the tunnel, a third setting processing step related to an interface of each transfer apparatus used for a tunnel of the transfer surface, and a fourth setting processing step related to a parameter to be set to the interface and stores the setting processing steps in a setting management DB. Subsequently, the controller creates a configuration for executing each setting processing step indicated in the tunnel setting order by reflecting information indicated in each divided setting processing step to a template of each setting processing step. In addition, the controller inputs the created configuration to a transfer apparatus at a setting destination of the tunnel.
