Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for receiving a plurality of attribute sets from a set of host computers, each attribute set associated with a group of one or more flows that is created by using a key to associate individual flows into the group of flows. The appliance, in some embodiments, merges two identified attribute sets into one merged attribute set and analyzes the merged attribute set to identify a set of properties of the flows in the groups of flows associated with the two attribute sets. In some embodiments, a visualization process includes identifying machines as members of groups and identifying machines that are connected. The visualization process, in some embodiments, also generates a graphical user interface that can be used to select groups of machines, domains, or individual machines and displays contextual attributes relevant to the selected group, domain, or machine.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for collecting and reporting attributes of data flows associated with machines executing on a plurality of host computers to an analysis appliance and providing visual representations of the data to a user. Some embodiments provide a visual representation of the collected data that allows a user to select a set of machines and flows and initiate recommendation generation based on the selected machines and flows. The recommendation generation, in some embodiments, includes identifying flows for which rules have not been defined and filtering the identified rules to remove flows for which rules should not be defined. Some embodiments use the identified rues to identify services and groups associated with the rules and generate recommendations for rules, groups and services based on the identified flows, groups and services. The recommendations, in some embodiments, are implemented as a single PATCH API.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, and systems for cryptographic keys exchange where the method can include receiving, by a server system, a client public key being part of a client asymmetric key pair from a client device; sending, by the server system, a server public key being part of a server asymmetric key pair to the client device; generating, by the server system, a random value master key and sending the random value master key encrypted using the client public key to the client device; and generating, by the server system, an initial unique session key and sending the initial unique session key encrypted under the random value master key to the client device. A unique session key from the set of the unique session keys is used by the client device to encrypt a session data for transmission to the server system per session.

Abstract: Based on a test step execution order for a test case such as one against a database system, a specific test step to be executed next is identified. In response to identifying the specific test step, a test step message is published to indicate that the specific test step is to be executed next, which causes a subscriber of the test step message to execute the specific test step. In response to determining that the specific test step has ended, a dependent test step message is published accordingly to cause a subscriber of the dependent test step message to perform: determining whether a next test step should be executed following the specific test step in the test step execution order; in response to determining that a next test step should be executed, the foregoing may be repeated by using the next test step in place of the specific test step.

Abstract: An analyzer resource receives density information indicating mobile device usage in each of multiple geographical regions. The analyzer resource further receives resource information indicating locations of physical network resources available to support installation of wireless access points in the geographical regions and the location of any existing wireless access points already installed. The analyzer resource then uses at least the density information and the resource information to produce a respective metric for each of the multiple geographical regions. The respective metric for a corresponding geographical region indicates a desirability of installing a respective wireless access point in the corresponding geographical region. Further disclosed embodiments herein include generating a respective map indicating in which respective geographical regions it is desirable to install a respective wireless access point.
