Patent number: 11876684Abstract: Systems and methods are described for controlled migration of workloads between cell systems arranged in a cell-based architecture. Each cell system can implement a portion of an overall workload of the architecture, which may represent a network-accessible service. The isolation provided by cells may prevent widespread problems at the service, but may also conceal errors that might occur should workloads between the cells be redistributed. Such redistribution is often forced at inopportune moments, such as when a cell of the service has already failed. Systems and methods described herein enable detection of such errors by repeatedly migrating portions of workloads between cells. The system can monitor health information during or between migrations to ensure continued health of the service. If the service appears to be unhealthy after a migration, future migrations can be halted to enable a cause of the unhealthy state to be identified and rectified.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Magee Greenwood

Patent number: 11876847Abstract: A second media rendering device in a network is synchronized with a first media rendering device in the network. At a first time s1, the second media rendering device sends a request for a current audio sample index from the first media rendering device. The first media rendering device receives the request for the current audio sample index from the second media rendering device. The first media rendering device sends a message including a first current audio sample index equal to a value for a first media rendering device internal sample index. At a second time s2 the second media rendering device receives the first current sample index value from the first media rendering device. The second media rendering device determines a transmission latency, and estimates an updated first media rendering device internal sample index value.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: D&M HoldingInventor: Douglas McKenzie

Patent number: 11836551Abstract: To provide a low latency near RT RIC, some embodiments separate the RIC's functions into several different components that operate on different machines (e.g., execute on VMs or Pods) operating on the same host computer or different host computers. Some embodiments also provide high speed interfaces between these machines. Some or all of these interfaces operate in non-blocking, lockless manner in order to ensure that critical near RT RIC operations (e.g., datapath processes) are not delayed due to multiple requests causing one or more components to stall. In addition, each of these RIC components also has an internal architecture that is designed to operate in a non-blocking manner so that no one process of a component can block the operation of another process of the component. All of these low latency features allow the near RT RIC to serve as a high speed IO between the E2 nodes and the xApps.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Giridhar Subramani Jayavelu, Amit Singh

Patent number: 11838195Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for centralized containerized deployment of network traffic sensors to network sensor hosts for deep packet inspection (DPI) that supports various other cybersecurity operations. A network sensor package containing a pre-configured network sensor container is received by a network sensor host from a network sensor deployment server. Installation of the network sensor package on the network sensor host causes execution of the network sensor container that further causes deployment of an on-premise network sensor along with a network sensor management system, a DPI system, and an intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) system. The configurable on-premise network sensor is deployed on multiple operating system distributions of the network sensor host and generates actionable network metadata using DPI techniques for optimized log search and management and improved intrusion detection and response (IDR) operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Rapid7, Inc.Inventors: John Brosnan, Jeff Myers, Andriy Lyubka, Darragh Delaney, Erran Carey, Martin Hutchings, Ralph McTeggart, Ryan Williams, Daniel Skelton, Luke Coughlan, Gianpaolo Tedesco, Luis Ramos dos Santos Lopes, Lars-Kristian Svenoy, Dan-Adrian Moinescu, Niall Cochrane, Morgan Doyle, Sarah Addis

Patent number: 11824707Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes defining a network resilience construct of an internet-based network. The network resilience construct includes rankings for nodes of the internet-based network. The nodes of the internet-based network are manipulated to determine an Activated Core Affluence (ACA) of the internet-based network, and the ACA defines a likelihood, for each node, of retaining the ranking for the node upon a first group of the nodes losing connection with the internet-based network. The method further includes determining, based on the ACA, a resilient portion of the network that includes an activated core of the nodes. The nodes of the activated core retain connection with one or more other nodes of the internet-based network upon the first group of the nodes losing connection.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rajesh Kumar Saxena, Harish Bharti, Anupam Gupta, Sandeep Sukhija

Patent number: 11811716Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums which provide for sidebar communication threads forked from, or related to, a principal thread. Messages in the sidebar communication thread may include a history of the principal thread, including one or more messages from the principal thread, and may include a proposed principal thread message that is the subject of the sidebar thread discussion. The sidebar thread may also include sidebar thread messages that carries the conversation of the sidebar thread participants. Once a termination condition is reached for the sidebar thread, the sidebar thread terminates and either the proposed principal thread message (as potentially modified by participants of the sidebar thread) becomes an accepted principal thread message and it is posted to the principal thread as if it was sent by the sidebar initiator or no message is posted (e.g., the proposed principal thread message is rejected).Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amer Aref Hassan, Wei-Chen Chen
