  • Patent number: 12143242
    Abstract: To reduce overhead generated by maintaining a full mesh network with static spoke-to-spoke tunnels while providing the efficiency of spoke-to-spoke communication, BGP configuration is automated to provide for dynamic establishment of spoke-to-spoke tunnels. A virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) address is assigned to each spoke in the network. Spokes advertises their VIP address to the hub for communication to the other spokes. A spoke sets the route next hop in its routing table for a remote spoke to the VIP of the remote spoke. Establishment of a tunnel between spokes is initiated after detecting data is to be communicated between the spokes while data is temporarily routed through the hub. Data is routed directly to the receiving spoke through the dynamic tunnel once the tunnel is active. Tunnels between spokes are terminated dynamically after a period of inactivity to reduce overhead caused by consistent maintenance of dynamic tunnels with low use.

  • Patent number: 12132788
    Abstract: A client cookie management system is disclosed that includes capabilities for securely managing a session between a web-based application and a user interacting with the web-based application using session cookies. The system receives a request from a user to access a resource provided by a web server and forwards the request to the web server. The web server generates a session cookie comprising a session identifier associated with a session created for the user. The system receives the session cookie from the web server and generates a new session cookie comprising a new session identifier and transmits the new session cookie to the client application. The system receives a second request to access a different resource from the client application. The second request comprises the new session cookie. Upon determining that the new session cookie is not modified, the system transmits the second request to the web server.

  • Patent number: 12050944
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a describe an interface shell in a SmartNIC that reduces data-copy overhead in CPU-centric solutions that rely on hardware compute engine (which can include one or more accelerators). The interface shell offloads tag matching and address translation without CPU involvement. Moreover, the interface shell enables the compute engine to read messages directly from the network without extra data copy—i.e., without first copying the data into the CPU's memory.

  • Patent number: 12045250
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for exchanging metadata between applications. One example method includes providing a metadata service defining a service metadata model for exposing metadata of data objects defined at one or more applications. A connection to a data source associated with a first application is established from a separate application to acquire the metadata from the data source for one or more data objects related to the first application. In response to establishing the connection, a view of content from the data source is provided that includes a list of entities from the service metadata model. A query defined based on the list of entities is received for acquiring metadata associated with the one or more identified entities. The query is evaluated at a backend of the first application and the metadata for the identified entities from the data source is provided.

  • Patent number: 12015540
    Abstract: A cloud-native architecture for containerized systems using consistent hashing routing is described. A reverse proxy server executing on a container-based cluster of compute nodes managed using a container orchestration service may determine a current data grid topology. The reverse proxy server may receive a first request from a first client device to retrieve first data from the container-based cluster of compute nodes. The request may be parsed to determine a key of a key-value pair and a hash value may be computed using the key. A consistent hashing algorithm may be executed to determine a node associated with the hash value. The first data may be retrieved from the node using the hash value. The first data may be sent to the first client device.

  • Patent number: 12003373
    Abstract: A device associated with a network may receive a service profile for a network slice of the network, where the service profile includes one or more service characterizations of the network slice. The device may determine, based on thresholding rules and for each service characterization, whether the service characterization requires selection from a plurality of building blocks, to obtain a group of service characterizations requiring selection. The device may select, based on selection rules and for each service characterization of the group of service characterizations requiring selection, a building block from the plurality of building blocks, to obtain selected building blocks, where the selection rules map attributes of service characterizations to building blocks. The device may stack, based on stacking rules, the selected building blocks, to obtain a slice infrastructure for the network slice. The device may deploy the slice infrastructure for the network slice in the network.
