Abstract: A method for reducing communication network performance degradation using in-band telemetry data includes (1) receiving, at an analytics engine of a communication network, first telemetry data from a first network element of the communication network, the first telemetry data being based on in-band telemetry data at the first network element; (2) determining from the first telemetry data that there is performance degradation in at least a portion of the communication network; and (3) in response to determining that there is performance degradation in at least the portion of the communication network, sending a message from the analytics engine to a second network element of the communication network.

Abstract: A method for locally serving content is described. The method includes receiving, at a gateway device, a first request for a data file via a first user device communicatively coupled to the gateway device. The data file is received at the gateway device from an external server and sent to the first user device. A data record is stored to a storage device indicating that the data file has been sent to the first user device. A second request for the data file is later received at the gateway device from a second user device communicatively coupled to the gateway device. In response to the receiving of the second request, the data record is accessed and causes a computer read of the data record. The first user device is then instructed to transfer the data file to the second user device, via the gateway device, based upon the computer read.

Abstract: A system can receive a file in parts. The system can write a first part to a first temporary file that corresponds to the first part's length at a first location of the first temporary file based on the its part number. The system can for a second part having a same length as the first part, write the second part to the first temporary file at a second location of the first temporary file based on its part number. The system can, in response to receiving a third part that has a different length than the first part, write the third part to a second temporary file at a third location of the second temporary file based on its part number. The system can, after receiving the parts, write data of the second temporary file to an end of the first temporary file, and rename the temporary file.

Abstract: A migration manager (MM) identifies a source group of compute instances (at a first partition of a provider network) to be migrated to an isolated virtual network (IVN) implemented in a second partition. The MM triggers the establishment within the IVN of an equivalence group of instances corresponding to the source group instances. Connectivity between the equivalence group and a first load balancer which was being used for the source group in the first partition is maintained by modifying one or more configuration settings. After a replacement load balancer is established within the IVN, the first load balancer is decommissioned.

Abstract: Systems and techniques, including special messages and state machines, are described that configures an intermediate site to dynamically trigger creation of and removal of a dynamic conduit between two sites based on usage that is tracked at the sites. The intermediate site providing WAN-to-WAN forwarding between the two sites, monitors throughput statistics on each local WAN link (LWL) associated with the two sites. If traffic between the two sites passes a configured first threshold or if LWL usage passes a configured second threshold, the intermediate site sends a message to the two sites to set up a dynamic conduit directly coupling the two sites. Busy lists are used to keep track of eligible site pairs. Once a dynamic conduit is set up between two sites, a grow technique tests the dynamic conduit increasing communication flows between the two sites each configured sampling period before putting the conduit in normal use.

Abstract: Techniques for API-based endpoint discovery and centralized load balancing involving provider substrate extension resources are described. A discovery coordinator service located within a provider network can identify one or more endpoints from a set of potentially distributed endpoints for a client to utilize, where endpoints may be located within provider substrate extensions of the provider network. The discovery coordinator service can analyze the loads of these endpoints, via client lease information, to identify nearby, low-load resources that may be most optimal for the client to use via providing minimal latency of access.

Abstract: Methods and systems for authentication using multiple identity providers are described herein.

The first identity provider may authenticate, using one or more first functions, based on the session information, and based on authentication credentials received from a user, the user. Based on the authentication, the first identity provider may modify the session information. The second identity provider may authenticate, based on the session information and using one or more second functions, the user. The one or more second functions may comprise providing the user a token based on the session information. The session information may be subsequently deleted.

Abstract: A network device includes processing circuitry and multiple ports. The multiple ports are configured to connect to a communication network. The processing circuitry is configured to select a first port among the multiple ports to serve as an egress port for a packet, and to forward the packet to the first port, irrespective of whether or not the first port is usable as the egress port. The processing circuitry is further configured to, when the first port is usable as the egress port, transmit the packet to the communication network via the first port, and when the first port is unusable as the egress port, forward the packet from the first port to a second port among the multiple ports and transmit the packet to the communication network via the second port.

Abstract: Embodiments for a method of storing e-mail messages using a cloud native e-mail data protection process. E-mail messages are first compressed and stored in a container along with selected metadata. An Email Record is created for each e-mail message. A Container Record is created for each newly created container, and a Backup Record is created for each container for each backup. Once the required records are created, the process facilitates the execution of backup operations, such as full or incremental backups of the stored e-mail messages. Data tiering is supported so that low cost object storage in the public cloud is used instead of expensive processing methods, such as deduplication backups.
