Patent number: 10212246Abstract: The disclosure describes a proxy server application that supports the dynamic modification of proxy rules implemented by a proxy server. The proxy rules implemented by the proxy server specify network behaviors to be performed at various points during the handling of requests from client applications. A proxy server implements the proxy rules by processing one or more user-generated network traffic filters for managing network traffic. In an embodiment, users generate network traffic filters by creating network traffic filter source code that specify processing steps to be performed by a proxy server relative to network messages the proxy server receives. In an embodiment, user-generated network traffic filters may be added, removed, reordered, or otherwise modified in a proxy server application at runtime in order to respond to current network conditions or to achieve other desired proxy configurations.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: NETFLIX, INC.Inventors: Michael Cohen, Benjamin Schmaus, Matthew Hawthorne, Benjamin Christensen, Daniel Jacobson

Patent number: 8165921Abstract: In a live, expressive combinatorial exchange, each of plural bidders can submit a bid. Based on the submitted bids, an allocation of the bids is determined that is optimal for the type of exchange being conducted. At least a portion of each bid of the allocation is displayed to each bidder of a first subset of the bidders that has at least one bid that is not included in the allocation. Each bidder of a subset of the first subset of bidders can then amend one or more of their existing bids or submit a new bid that is considered the next time the allocation is determined. The process of feeding back at least a portion of each bid of the allocation, submitting new bids or amendments to existing bids, and determining a new allocation based on all of the submitted bids continues until a predetermined condition is satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2009Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: CombineNet, Inc.Inventors: Tuomas Sandholm, David L. Levine, Subhash Suri, Robert L. Shields, Christopher Cole, Richard James McKenzie, Jr., David C. Parkes, Vincent Conitzer, Benjamin Schmaus
