  • Patent number: 10250722
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus, a method, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for managing bandwidth in a computer network. The method may identify that a first received packet belongs to a first traffic class and a second received packet belongs to a second traffic class where the first traffic class is associated with a higher priority than the second traffic class. The method may also identify that the first and the second traffic classes compete for shared bandwidth at the computer network. The method may monitor a number of bytes received that are associated with the first traffic class and second traffic class and perform a series of calculations used to adjust a window size according to the relative priorities of the first and the second traffic class.

  • Patent number: 10165009
    Abstract: A connection policy for a communications network has a local connection policy indicating which paths between a given one of the nodes (computer A, router A, host 898) and others of the nodes (computers B, C, filters B1, B2, C1, C2, hosts 890, 892) are allowable paths, by a symbolic expression of ranges endpoint addresses and other local connection policies in respect of other nodes. It is implemented in a distributed manner by determining, for the given node, which of the allowable paths, are dual authorized as allowable by the other local connection policy relating to the other node at the other end of that path, by Boolean operations on the symbolic expressions. For a given message for a given path between two of the nodes having their own local connection policies, both of these nodes determine whether the given path is currently dual authorized. This can provide reassurance that changes in versions of the connection policy won't transiently open a risk of undetected unwanted communication.

  • Patent number: 10110440
    Abstract: Embodiments relate systems and methods for detecting network conditions based on derivatives of event trending. In embodiments, a network management server can monitor the status and operation of network machines, such as servers or targets, as well as network transmission hardware (e.g. routers). Streams of network operation data from those sources can be captured and stored. The management server or other logic can examine the network operation data to identify trend lines for network conditions, such as application faults, attempted intrusions, or other events or conditions. trend line data can be treated to generate second or other higher-order derivatives, such as third-order derivatives representing the rate of change of acceleration (or jerk) in the time series of one or more conditions. The presence of acceleration or jerk for one or more trend lines, such as attempted network intrusions, can reflect an event and trigger a flag or other automated response.

  • Patent number: 9967169
    Abstract: Embodiments relate systems and methods for detecting network conditions based on a correlation between trend lines. In embodiments, a network management server can monitor the status and operation of network machines, such as servers or targets, as well as network transmission hardware (e.g. routers). Streams of network operation data from those sources can be captured and stored. The management server or other logic can examine the network operation data to identify trend lines for network conditions, such as application faults, attempted intrusions, or other events or conditions. Trend line data can be treated to generate second or other higher-order derivatives, such as third-order derivatives or others. A time correlation between two or more trend lines and/or their higher order derivatives, for instance, the occurrence of a peak value in the same time window, can be used to identify an event, state or condition.
