Patent number: 11398958Abstract: In one embodiment, a networking device reroutes traffic in a network from a first path to a second path, based on a prediction that the first path will not satisfy a service level agreement associated with the traffic. The networking device enters a fast monitoring state during which the networking device performs fast probing of the first path and of the second path onto which the traffic was rerouted. The networking device makes, based on the fast probing, a determination as to whether the first path would have violated the service level agreement and whether the second path violates the service level agreement. The networking device enacts a routing decision for the traffic by applying a routing policy to the determination.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Philippe Vasseur, Grégory Mermoud, Vinay Kumar Kolar

Patent number: 11297031Abstract: A service enables a command that refers to a file system object using a hierarchical namespace identifier to be executed against the file system object in a flat namespace. The service selectively distributes the command to one of a plurality of name resolution nodes based on a directory name included in the hierarchical namespace identifier. The identified node resolves the directory name to a flat namespace identifier that is used to execute the command against the flat namespace. After communicating with at least one storage node to resolve a directory name, each name resolution node stores a mapping of the directory name to the corresponding flat namespace identifier in a cache, so that subsequent resolutions of that directory name may be performed more efficiently. Cache entries may be invalidated when an operation occurs that impacts the relevant mapping and/or based on system considerations such as cache expiry.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Georgi M.
