  • Patent number: 8769349
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a data processing method comprises: a computer obtaining occurrence data representing one or more performance measurements collected for a network device and associated with one or more data metrics; monitoring the occurrence data; determining one or more current trends that are reflected in the occurrence data; determining one or more predicted trends for the network device; determining, based on the predicted trends, one or more future events that are predicted to occur at the network device at a future time; determining, by applying a site policy to the one or more future events, one or more preventive actions for the network device to prevent occurrence of the one or more of the future events.

  • Publication number: 20050027506
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for switching in networks responsive to message flow patterns. A message “flow” is defined to comprise a set of packets to be transmitted between a particular source and a particular destination. When routers in a network identify a new message flow, they determine the proper processing for packets in that message flow and cache that information for that message flow. Thereafter, when routers in a network identify a packet which is part of that message flow, they process that packet according to the proper processing for packets in that message flow. The proper processing may include a determination of a destination port for routing those packets and a determination of whether access control permits routing those packets to their indicated destination.
