Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling utilization of resources(s) of contention by a plurality of devices of a single or multiple priority classes. A utilization scaling factor is determined for each class for the resource(s) and compared with a threshold value. An apersistence property pattern is then created for each class that includes apersistence property entries corresponding to apersistence update cycles of an apersistence pattern window. Where the scaling factor is in a first range corresponding to low resource loading, the class pattern includes unimpeded entries allowing the devices in a class to attempt to utilize the resource. Otherwise, the class pattern is created with at least one blocking entry that prevents all devices in a class from attempting utilization of the resource during the corresponding apersistence update cycle. An apersistence property pattern entry is then provided from the pattern to the devices in each apersistence update cycle of the apersistence pattern window.

Abstract: A system for detecting information leakage in e-mails using neural network and support vector machines is provided. This system does not use the content of the e-mail or the content of the attachments in the e-mail. Instead, a set of non-sensitive variables or attributes is picked from the e-mails originating from a given establishment and also from the profiles of the users sending those mails. The said attributes are extracted for all outbound mails. This extraction process does not involve reading the main text of the mail and thus the sensitivity of the mail information is protected. These attributes are chosen using filters built into the detection hardware. Neural networks and support vector machine built into the detection hardware are then used on these attributes to detect pattern violation and possible information leakage.

Abstract: A distributed blade computer system and a method for operating a distributed blade computer system. More specifically, a computer system having one or more blades configured to operate as stand-alone computers are coupled to an infrastructure which includes one or more video modules. When a remote user wishes to implement video functions with a blade, a management subsystem in the infrastructure allocates a video module and couples the video module to the requested blade such that the blade can implement the video functions of the video module.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for allowing multiple clients to concurrently configure a network device. More specifically, a management module creates a working copy of an initial data source that stores configuration data for a network device and modifies the working copy to reorder one or more configuration objects in a list in response to configuration commands from a client. Upon receiving a show|compare command or a commit command, the management module generates a configuration patch that is a textual representation of any differences between the working copy and the initial data source. The configuration patch includes modification control indicators that identify configuration objects in the list that are reordered. The patch is applied to the initial data source to reorder the list of configuration objects within the initial data source without processing portions of the configuration data associated with the reordered configuration.

Abstract: A system for protocol processing in a computer network has a TCP/IP Offload Network Interface Device (TONID) associated with a host computer. The TONID provides a fast-path that avoids protocol processing for most large multi-packet messages, greatly accelerating data communication. The TONID also assists the host for those message packets that are chosen for processing by host software layers. A communication control block for a message is defined that allows DMA controllers of the TONID to move data, free of headers, directly to or from a destination or source in the host. The context is stored in the TONID as a communication control block (CCB) that can be passed back to the host for message processing by the host. The TONID contains specialized hardware circuits that are much faster at their specific tasks than a general purpose CPU.

Abstract: The method and system for reprogramming instructions for a switch includes programming a redirection memory to associate a routing parameter set in a routing memory for the switch with a first line card. The routing parameter set includes a plurality of routing parameters to be provided to the switch to service the first line card. In response to an event initiating activation of a second line card in place of the first line card, the redirection memory is reprogrammed to associate the routing parameters set in the routing memory with the second line card.
