Abstract: An autonomous distributed wise area network (AD-WAN) includes several nodes, where each node connects a local area network to an open wide area network, and provides tunnels over the open wide area network to other nodes in the AD-WAN so that computing resources behind each node can communicate as if they were located on a common intranet. Each node has a blockchain wallet and receives updates to a private permissioned blockchain ledger for that AD-WAN. The updates are provided by a control node. Set up, and subsequent change to the AD-WAN are commenced via a customer portal which provides order information to the control node, where the control node processes the order information and generates a blockchain update that informs the affected nodes in the AD-WAN as to what changes are to be made. As a result, the blockchain provides both control plane and order management operation of the AD-WAN.

Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting throughput in a network are described herein. The systems and methods use, in some examples, impaired DNS lookup times to predict what a throughput measurement would have been at the time of the issue had a measurement been taken. Using impaired DNS lookup times rather than constantly measuring throughput can reduce the workload of the cellular network while also reducing the storage capacity needed to measure throughput values for all of the devices using the cellular network. Throughput prediction may be used in other ways, including, but not limited to, device testing and assessment.

Based on a status of the traffic manager and the backup traffic manager, as well as based on the priority level or the performance level, the incident management system causes a computer operation to be executed via the redundant architecture to retrieve a response from a producer and generate the RSS feed.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for acquiring and managing data regarding external IP (EIP) addresses of services offered in a trusted public cloud environment. The system monitors an application program interface of a service executing in a trusted public cloud environment for occurrence of an event that is related to an EIP of the service. When an event is detected, the system extract EIP related data and metadata of the service, generates a message with the extracted EIP data, and posts the message to a central message queue. The system monitors the message queue for the presence of a new message. Upon detecting a new message, the system processes the message, extracts EIP related data. metadata, and identifies an action. A central database that stores EIP related information of services executing in the trusted public cloud environment is updated based on the identified action.
