Abstract: A system and a method for performing programmable analytics on network data are described. A data layer constructs flow behavior information based on information present within headers of data packets flowing across one or more network devices configured in a computer network. An inline heuristics layer performs one or more inline heuristic operations on the flow behavior information to obtain aggregate statistical information. An integrated analytics layer performs one or more analytical operations on the flow behavior information to obtain network insights. A presentation layer filters and plots information obtained from the data layer, the inline heuristics layer, and the integrated analytics layer, based on a user input.

Abstract: A system and associated method provides a visualization of a life cycle of a trade order. The visualization may be in the form of a tree structure with a plurality of linked nodes. Each node may be associated with an event that occurs during the life cycle of the trade. A monitoring system receives information associated with a plurality of events associated with the trade order, generates a plurality of nodes based on the received information, stores identifiers associated with each of the plurality of nodes, and links the plurality of nodes based on the identifiers to create the tree structure. The monitoring system also performs a verification process to determine whether the visualization is missing information or includes incorrect information and alerts to a discrepancy identified during the verification process.

A method includes configuring a load balancer with a set of tenant affinities, the set of tenant affinities including a tenant affinity for each of a plurality of tenants with respect to each of a plurality of computing nodes that provide services to users in a multitenant environment. Load balancing may include receiving a user request, associated with a tenant, for a service provided by the computing nodes, determining a highest tenant affinity computing node for the tenant using the set of tenant affinities and directing the user request to the highest tenant affinity computing node for the tenant.

Abstract: Examples provided herein describe a method for providing security for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, a data packet from an IoT device may be received at an edge device. A signature associated with the IoT device may be accessed at the edge device, where the signature includes network layer information about the IoT device. A set of rules may be applied by the edge device to validate the IoT device based on the accessed signature. Responsive to the IoT device being validated based on the accessed signature, received data packet, and the applied set of rules, the edge device may process the data packet from the IoT device.

Abstract: A method and system for enhanced time synchronization with lesser delay and jitter, from a gateway of a network or an external standard time source, over the internet, in a traditional network, including SDN, by NTP clients like newly added devices, spawned VMs and the like, by automatic deployment of the distributed NTP service through DHCP and DNS servers by spawning NTP demons (ntpd), according to the time synchronization requests received, thereby offloading the NTP functionality of the gateway and decreasing NTP traffic.

Abstract: A security client can efficiently authenticate an application during I/O request handling by maintaining a white list that identifies processes that have been created for authenticated applications. The security client can register to be notified when a process is being created. When such a notification is received, the security client can authenticate the application for which the process is being created and then add an entry to the white list that includes the process identifier of the process being created. Then, when the process subsequently generates I/O requests, the security client can use the white list to quickly determine that the process pertains to an authenticated application and allow the I/O requests to modify protected artifacts.

Abstract: One aspect provides a method and system for managing address resolution requests in a network. During operation, a gateway of the network advertises a route for sending address resolution requests and determines whether a cached entry corresponding to an address resolution request received via the route exists in a neighbor table. In response to determining that the cached entry exists, the gateway responds to the address resolution request based on the cached entry; in response to determining that the cached entry does not exist, the gateway replicates the address resolution request to edge devices in the network, thereby facilitating discovery of a target host corresponding to the address resolution request.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus receive an element of information via a network interface and analyze the element of information. The method further comprises identifying a related entity to a subject of interest (SOI) based on the analyzing. The method further comprises creating a knowledge graph that represents a relationship between the SOI and the related entity, and determining an overall risk score of the SOI that uses the knowledge graph. An alert may be transmitted, via the network interface, based on the overall risk score.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system, method and/or computer program product to monitor changes in business risk of a targeted entity includes retrieving one or more industry classifications for one or more core businesses of the targeted entity; receiving news feeds related to the one or more industry classifications; detecting and extracting negative news related to the core businesses of the targeted entity from the news feeds; calculating an industry confidence score based upon the negative news; determining if the industry confidence score is greater than an industry confidence threshold; calculating, in response to the industry confidence score being larger than the industry confidence threshold, an entity confidence score for the targeted entity based upon negative news; and generating, in response to the entity confidence score being larger than an entity confidence threshold, an alert report for the targeted entity.

Abstract: A technique manages bandwidth allocated among input/output operations, such as reads and writes, to storage devices coupled to storage nodes of a cluster. The technique balances the writes in a manner that reduces latency of reads, while allowing the writes to complete in a desired amount of time. The writes include write types, such as client writes, data migration writes, block transfer writes, and recycling writes, which are defined by differing characteristics and relative priorities. To ensure timely completion of the write types, the technique provides periodic time intervals over which the writes may be balanced and allocated sufficient bandwidth to access the storage devices. The time intervals may include shuffle intervals within a larger distribution interval. In addition, the technique throttles certain write types at the storage device level to maintain consistent read performance. Throttling is based on a credit system that allocates bandwidth as “credits” based on write type.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for adding key chain and key derivative functions (KDF) support for Network time protocol (NTP) authentication using password based key derivation functions-NTP (PBKDF-NTP) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating time bound multiple short lived keys instead of long lived keys for NTP security which ensures that attacker will not get enough time to crack the key values. The usage of time bound multiple short lived keys instead of long lived keys for NTP security will ensure that attacker will not get enough time to crack the key values within key lifetime. Hence man-in-middle attack can be avoided in NTP.

Abstract: A switch that can report unavailability in a label-switched network is provided. During operation, the switch can determine that a label-switched path is unavailable for forwarding a packet. The switch can then generate a notification message for collecting unavailability information at a respective upstream hop of the label-switched path. The notification message includes a depth indicator indicating the depth of collected unavailability information and an ingress label of the packet at the switch. If the switch is an intermediate switch on the label-switched path, the switch can forward the notification message to an upstream switch on the label-switched path, thereby allowing the upstream switch to collect further unavailability information in the notification message.
