Patent number: 10110445Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for providing a closed control loop for data centers. The data centers can receive monitoring data that can include congestion data and class of service data. The data centers can store the monitoring data in a data storage device, analyze the monitoring data, and determine that a performance threshold is satisfied. In response to a determination that the performance threshold is met, the data centers can determine that a time-based threshold is met. In response to a determination that the time-based threshold is met, the data centers can adjust execution of a hosted service.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2014Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: AT&T Global Network Services France, SASInventors: Aline Fichou, Aurelien Bruno

Patent number: 7593321Abstract: A method for operating a node in a computer network is disclosed, where the network is made up of nodes connected by links. The method has the steps: determining an alternate path for one or more links; reserving resources for the alternate path; and rerouting traffic on the alternate path in case of a link failure. The alternate path may be periodically updated. A plurality of alternate paths may be maintained. The alternate paths may not have any links in common. User traffic may be rerouted substantially simultaneously to each link of the alternate path in the event of failure of a primary path.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2003Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Claude Galand, Olivier Bertin, Olivier Maurel, Laurent Nicolas, Aline Fichou

Patent number: 7320034Abstract: A method and system for reserving a virtual connection from a source workstation to a destination workstation. Packets of data are transmitted over a network between an ingress node of the source workstation and an egress node of the destination workstation. In accordance with the method of the present invention, a reservation request is delivered from the source workstation to a reservation server. The reservation server includes a user database for storing the identification of each user allowed to access to the reservation server and also stores the rights of each user. The reservation server further includes a network database for storing the information describing a network capacity required to set up the virtual connection. A verification is then performed to determine whether or not the reservation request may be validated in view of user information within said source workstation.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2001Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Aline Fichou, Jacques Fieschi, Claude Galand, Jean-Francois Le Pennec
