  • Patent number: 11611454
    Abstract: Systems and methods associated with distributing an application's network interface over nodes of a networking fabric are presented. Nodes of the fabric can operate as interface modules, each taking on a role or responsibility for a portion of the application's network address including IP address, port assignments, or other portions of the network address. Interface modules of the networking nodes can then spoof or cloak the application to provide security against internal or external threats.

  • Patent number: 11606535
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interconnecting point-to-point (P2P) (i.e. SIP/H323) and web browser compatible video conferencing services. The conference platform gatewaying service may use a virtual web browser participant to send and/or receive video and/or audio over VoIP/Video standards, such as SIP/H323 or other point-to-point protocols into a web browser compatible conference by means of a virtual web browser participant. The conference platform gateway service may create a binding between a SIP address and a web meeting URL. When communication is initiated from a compatible peer device to the gateway/server by means of a point-to-point protocol, the gateway/server establishes a connection to the web-based conference using the binding between URI and URL, and establishes a connection between the Point-to-point and Web browser compatible meeting service.

  • Patent number: 11588885
    Abstract: Among other things, this document describes systems, methods and devices for performance testing and dynamic placement of computing tasks in a distributed computing environment. In embodiments, a given client request is forwarded up a hierarchy of nodes, or across tiers in the hierarchy. A particular computing node in the system self-determines to perform a computing task to generate (or help generate) particular content for a response to the client. The computing node injects its identifier into the response indicating that it performed those tasks; the identifier is transmitted to the client with particular content. The client runs code that assesses the performance of the system from the client's perspective, e.g., in servicing the request, and beacons this performance data, along with the aforementioned identifier, to a system intelligence component. The performance information may be used to dynamically place and improve the placement of the computing task(s).

  • Patent number: 11582146
    Abstract: Delivery of high quality video in an adaptive bit rate (ABR) download session is achieved using obtained using lower quality communication paths. The method involves detecting that an ABR download session of a video is in a steady-state condition. If so a further determination is made as to whether there is sufficient pre-fetch time available to download an (N+1)th video segment of the video using at alternative connection path through a virtual WAN having a lower quality than a first connection path through the virtual WAN. If sufficient pre-fetch time is available, the (N+1)th video segment is prefetched using at least the second connection path instead of the first connection path.

  • Patent number: 11563789
    Abstract: Implementations are provided herein for executive streaming data writes without duplication or loss. A client application and a pravega node can work to track where write data is, how much data has been written, and what specific data has been acknowledged by the pravega node as successfully written. In the event of an error or connection disruption, the client application can reconnect and determine how much data has been written and resend what data still needs to be written. The data can be written exactly once, and once written and acknowledged, will no longer be subject to data loss.

  • Patent number: 11546184
    Abstract: Some examples relate to selection of a rendezvous point in an IP multicast network managing multicast group traffic. An example includes transmitting, from a controller in a cloud computing system, messages to a source device and a host device in an IP multicast-capable network, which may include two peer network devices that are virtualized to function as one virtual device. Based on the response to the messages, the controller may determine that the source device is present in OSI layer 3 and the host device is present in OSI layer 2. The controller may determine that the peer network are located downstream in relation to the determined layer of the source device. The controller may select a non-peer network device as a rendezvous point in the IP multicast-capable network. Further to the selection, the controller may synchronize an active-active configuration between the peer network devices.

  • Patent number: 11516071
    Abstract: Method and system for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) across multiple network systems. Update information of a first local root cause analysis mechanism is received. An RCA controller generates, based on the update information, a new node to be added to a global root cause decision tree, where the global root cause decision tree is to be shared by at least two of the plurality of network operators. The RCA controller requests storage of the new node in a distributed ledger that is shared by network operators. The RCA controller participates in a verification operation of the new node. In response to determining that the verification operation is successful, the RCA controller adds an entry including the new node to the distributed ledger as part of the global root cause decision tree. Alternatively, when the verification operation is not successful, the new node is not added to the distributed ledger.

  • Patent number: 11470166
    Abstract: A method for managing entities in a multi-tenant marketplace architecture system is discussed. The method includes determining that a merchant is represented as a first representation in a first hierarchical data structure and as a second representation in a second hierarchical data structure, where both the first and second hierarchical data structures are managed by a first service provider. The merchant is being managed via a full representation in an original hierarchical data structure by a marketplace service provider. The first and second representations provide outbound services via the first hierarchical data structure and via the second hierarchical data structure, respectively. The method also includes linking the first representation with the second representation to configure the first and second representations for propagating results of an inbound service applied to one of the first and second representations to a remaining one of the first and second representations.
