  • Patent number: 10225193
    Abstract: Encapsulated packets may be generated for different packets transmitted between a source instance and destination instance in a computer system. The source instance and destination instance may be implemented by different physical hosts linked by multiple network paths. Congestion of the multiple network paths may be determined and path-balancing polices may be implemented in response to the determined congestion. Each encapsulation packet comprises contents of a corresponding packet, and one or more data values selected in accordance with a path-balancing policy. The data values added to one encapsulation packet may differ from those added to another. Different network paths to the destination may be selected for different encapsulation packets of a given transmission based at least in part on the added data values.

  • Patent number: 10212082
    Abstract: In one embodiment, packets are forwarded in a network based on lookup results in a content-addressable memory that includes multiple blocks of content-addressable memory entries, with the relative priority of these blocks typically determined on a per search basis. In one embodiment, the content-addressable memory blocks perform lookup operations based on a search key resulting in a lookup results. The result determiner determines an overall highest-priority content-addressable memory lookup result based on ordering the lookup results according to a dynamic priority ordering (e.g., retrieved from storage) among the content-addressable memory blocks. One embodiment allows multiple searches to occur simultaneously among the content-addressable memory blocks by selectively performing lookup operations on multiple search keys.

  • Patent number: 10212089
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments describe systems and methods for tunneling packets. A tunnel between a first intermediary device and a second intermediary device is established that encapsulates payload packets of transport layer connections between a client and a server. The first intermediary device identifies, from a first packet of a transport layer connection between the client and the server, packet header information. The first intermediary device populates a destination port and a source port of a header of a second packet to be transmitted via the tunnel. The destination port is populated with a predetermined destination port, and the source port includes a first hash of a tuple of the packet header information of the first packet. The second packet includes the first packet as a payload, and is load balanced across paths to the second intermediary device based on a second hash of the header of the second packet.

  • Patent number: 10200895
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product where a user equipment, in a wireless communications system, measures downlink radio quality based on available downlink signals. The user equipment compares the measured downlink radio quality with RLM thresholds. Based on that comparison, the user equipment determines its in-sync or out-of-sync status. Prior to the measuring, the user equipment can determine the RLM thresholds based on hypothetical NPDCCH channels; can receive in-sync and out-of-sync thresholds from the base station; can receive an additional offset for in-sync and out-of-sync thresholds under enhanced coverages and can determine the RLM thresholds for normal converge on the hypothetical NPDCCH channels; or can receive an offset between in-sync and out-of-sync thresholds from a base station and determine the RLM out-of-sync threshold based on the hypothetical NPDCCH channels and the RLM in-of-sync threshold based on the out-of-sync threshold and the offset provided by the base station.

  • Patent number: 10193939
    Abstract: Managing Security Parameter Information (SPIs) to prevent race condition failures begins where a system negotiates SPIs along with associated expiration times, and re-negotiates new SPIs as necessary. The system prevents race conditions that would otherwise occur when both an old SPI and a new SPI are active at the same time. The system accomplishes this by managing the storage and deletion of old SPIs such that only active SPIs are stored on the system for use by a User Equipment (UE) or Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF).

  • Patent number: 10172022
    Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to performing wireless diagnostic analyses including execution and evaluations of interactive content resources executed by execution devices on and/or for separate content receiver devices. A multi-phrase diagnostic session may proceed with an execution of an initial set of diagnostic modules on an execution device, during which interactive content is transmitted/received from a connected receiver device. The results of the diagnostic modules may be evaluated in real-time and transmitted to a diagnostic analyzer server to select additional diagnostic modules for execution during the diagnostic session. The diagnostic analyzer server may select the additional diagnostic modules based on based on response data received via the content execution device to the interactive content of the previously executed diagnostic modules, and/or data received from additional data sources related to the content receiver.

  • Patent number: 10165453
    Abstract: A millimeter-wave communication component includes at least two millimeter-wave antennas located at two opposite sides thereof, in which the entire millimeter-wave communication component constitutes a single rigid mechanical element that can be easily mounted on a side of a pole, such that the millimeter-wave communication component is situated in front of the pole, and thereby positioning one of the millimeter-wave antennas to the right of the pole, and one of the other millimeter-wave antennas to the left of the pole. Said positioning of the two millimeter-wave antennas enables them to generate two millimeter-wave radiation pattern that together, and cooperatively, cover an entire and continuous sector surrounding the back of the pole. Further millimeter-wave antennas may be added to complete the coverage to a continuous 360 degrees coverage, while maintaining simple installation of the millimeter-wave communication component on the pole as a single rigid mechanical element.
