  • Systems and methods for high volume logging and synchronization for large scale network address translation
    Patent number: 10476764
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for high volume logging for large scale network address translation. A first device intermediary to a plurality of clients and a plurality of database servers allocates a portion of memory to each packet engine in a plurality of packet engines executing on a respective core of a plurality of cores of the first device. The first device establishes large scale network address translation (LSN) for the plurality of clients, the first device logging LSN information of sessions to a corresponding logging buffer established in a respective packet engine's portion of memory. The first device identifies, for a LSN session, a packet engine from the plurality of packet engines to log the information for the LSN session and stores information of the LSN session to the logging buffer in the packet engine's portion of memory.

  • Quality of service policy based load adaption
    Patent number: 10439900
    Abstract: A distributed storage system can maintain calculated load values of services throughout the system. The load values represent different types of load on the system. When a load value corresponding to a client changes, the load value is evaluated against thresholds to determine whether a different quality of service (QoS) policy is to be selected and implemented. If so, a function/formula indicated in the selected policy is used to calculate a scaling factor, which is then used to calculate a target performance value based on QoS parameters of the client. The system then manages access by the client according to the target performance value.

  • Systems and methods for identifying causes of quality degradation in wireless networks
    Patent number: 10374882
    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure filter a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) based on various criteria to reduce the number of root causes that are considered when adjusting the wireless configuration parameters. In particular, the set of KPIs may be filtered based on various criteria. In one example, KPIs having a hit-ratio below a hit-ratio threshold are removed from the set of KPIs. In another example, KPIs having a slope of linear regression below a threshold slope are removed from the set of KPIs. In yet another example, a KPI is removed from the set of KPIs when a causal relationship between the KPI and another KPI in the set of KPIs exceeds a threshold. In yet another example, a KPI is removed from the set of KPIs when the KPI has a prediction impact score that fails to exceed a prediction impact threshold.

  • Virtual network interface records
    Patent number: 10367753
    Abstract: A system may include resource instances and a network interface virtualization coordinator. Responsive to a record creation request, the coordinator creates an interface record that may include an IP address, subnet information and security properties. The coordinator may, in response to a request to attach the record to a resource instance, enable traffic directed to the IP address to flow to the resource instance. In response to a subsequent detach request, the traffic to the IP address may be disabled at the resource instance. The same interface record may be attached to another resource instance in response to another attach request, enabling traffic directed to the IP address to flow to the second resource instance.
