Patent number: 11616716Abstract: A system uses gossip messages that are transmitted via multicast to other host server computers to share when new sockets associated with a communication session are established. The gossip message can be used to create an association between a host identifier and an identifier of the communication session. When a network packet arrives, a host server computer can check which host server computer is associated with the communication session. If the communication session is associated with a different host server computer, it encapsulates the packet and transmits the packet to the appropriate host using the pre-computed header template. On the receiving end of this encapsulated packet, a kernel space removes then encapsulation and allows the network packet to be processed by the proper destination host server computer. The result is to ensure all network packets land on the host server computer associated with the communication session.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Emmanuel Papirakis, Jorge Peixoto Vasquez, Yashwanth Yadavalli, Yuchao Li, Mohit Mohanan

Patent number: 11552869Abstract: A method for suspending and resuming a connection for desktop virtualization between two computing devices. In response to a client computing device shutting down, suspending, hibernating, or losing network connectivity during virtualization, the server computing device may itself shut down, suspend, or hibernate, or may pause or suspend the operation of one or more applications currently hosted by the server computing device. The server may detect that connectivity has been restored and resume operation of hosted applications. Alternatively, the client may transmit a command to the server indicating that the client is ready to resume virtualization. The client may also be configured to transmit a command that may cause the server to resume a powered-on state after the server was shut down or in a state of hibernation.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Inventor: Shashidhar Ramareddy

Patent number: 11522920Abstract: A system includes a security controller located within a central-zone in communication with a provisioned agent operating on an edge-zone device. The security controller may implement controller-blind security control on the edge-zone device by making security authorization determinations using a secure-operation confidence analysis performed by the provisioned agent. The provisioned agent, operating within the edge-zone, may have access to un-sanitized data, which may be unavailable to the security controller in the central-zone. The provisioned agent may access condition-descriptors via a secure-operation confidence assignment matrix. Using the condition-descriptors, the provisioned agent determine feedback, which may include a secure-operation confidence coefficient, based on the un-sanitized data to which the security controller is blind.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: David B.
