  • Patent number: 9639896
    Abstract: System and method for dynamically managing message flow. According to the example embodiments, an intermediary network device or a client device dynamically manages the flow of messages received from an electronic exchange by analyzing the client device's capabilities, such as CPU utilization. Based on a percentage of total CPU utilization, the level of throttling is dynamically adjusted, such that if the percentage of CPU utilization, or load, increases, then throttling is increased from a lower level to a higher level. Similarly, if the percentage of CPU utilization decreases significantly enough, then throttling is decreased to a lower level.

  • Patent number: 9621480
    Abstract: Providing for external control of data network client resources for application-based client network access is described herein. By way of example, the external control can be implemented by a third party service provider in conjunction with delivery of content to the client devices. The external control can be provided over a network gateway, for instance, and facilitate a proxy access to resource allocation components of the data network, or alternatively a direct communication access between the resource allocation components and third party service provider. The external control enables a content service provider to allocate resources on an as-needed basis to subsets of client devices requesting such content. Billing for data network resources as well as for service provider content can be reconciled among the respective networks and client according to a predetermined billing arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9591501
    Abstract: A network node receiving a preference for a power optimized configuration for a user equipment (UE) can in response change the UE's minimization of drive test (MDT) configuration to conserve UE power. For example, this change can be from immediate reporting of MDT measurements to connected mode logging MDT measurements or no reporting of MDT measurements; or to a longer interval for reporting them, or to drop the reporting of available location information with MDT measurements. Other teachings have actions by the UE, autonomous of the network, to conserve power. A UE receiving a MDT configuration having an MDT measurement reporting or logging interval, and also one or both of a discontinuous reception or paging configuration having a DRX/paging interval can adapt the MDT configuration autonomously of the network to conserve its battery power.

  • Patent number: 9577950
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reclaiming resources within a distributed computing system. A reclamation application searches the distributed computing architecture for unused resources, classifies the unused resources, and determines an expiration period based on the classification. The reclamation application determines a candidate owner of the resource based on one or more characteristics of the resource. The reclamation application then notifies the candidate owner that the resource is to be reclaimed unless claimed by the candidate owner within the expiration period. If the candidate owner claims the resource within the expiration period, then the reclamation application terminates the reclamation of the resource. If the candidate owner does not claim the resource within the expiration period, then the reclamation application reclaims the resource after the duration of the expiration period.

  • Patent number: 9575926
    Abstract: A network device includes a port coupled to a device, another port coupled to another device, and an access control list with an access control entry that causes the network device to permit log in frames to be forwarded from the first device to the second device. The network device receives a frame addressed to the second device and determines the frame type. If the frame type is a log in frame, then the frame is forwarded to the second device and another access control entry is added to the access control list. The second access control entry causes the network device to permit data frames to be forwarded from the first device to the second device. If not, then the frame is dropped based upon the first access control entry.
