  • Patent number: 11570078
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for collecting route-based traffic metrics in a service-oriented system are disclosed. A first service in a service-oriented system receives an inbound request from a second service. From the inbound request, the first service extracts, a route identifier representing an upstream route including the second service. The first service stores the route identifier and a counter representing a number of inbound requests with the route identifier that have been received by the first service over a current window of time. The first service sends, to a traffic metric collection system, a metric message comprising the route identifier and the counter. Traffic metric data is determined by the traffic metric collection system using the metric message from the first service and one or more additional metric messages from one or more additional services. The traffic metric data indicates one or more flows of requests through the services.

  • Patent number: 6274254
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises connector contacts having a metal base and a surface finish layer over the base, the surface finish layer being a composite of an electroplated precious metal composition and wear resistant particles dispersed therein. In the preferred embodiment, the precious metal layer is a PdCo alloy and the wear resistant particles are sub-micron sized lubricating particles, e.g. polytetrafluoroethylene particles and a flash coat of gold is provided over the composite layer.
