  • Patent number: 8843606
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for managing load in a server are provided. The server performs events for a plurality of electronic communication devices, each of the devices enabled to transmit to the server, at a respective given time and at a respective given frequency, a request to perform a respective event. The server receives the requests and determines that its load is above a threshold load value during a given time period when the requests arrive. In response, for a subset of the devices, the server transmits a delay time to each electronic communication device in the subset. The delay time causes each device in the subset to change the respective given time to a respective new time comprising the delay time added to the respective given time such that a next request is transmitted from each device in the subset to the server at the respective new time.

  • Patent number: 7529480
    Abstract: A method for monitoring lightpaths in an optical network comprising nodes interconnected by wavelength-multiplexed links is disclosed. Each lightpath is identified by a respective optical signature. A node stores identifiers of optical signatures of lightpaths designated to traverse the node and identifiers of adjacent nodes. Each node also maintains a record of all optical signatures it detects. A command-line interface associated with a selected node tracks a selected lightpath, designated to traverse the selected node, by propagating messages in an upstream direction, a downstream direction, or both, requesting other nodes to provide information pertinent to the selected lightpath. The selected node may also send messages to all its neighboring nodes requesting each to indicated detection, or otherwise, of the selected lightpath.
