Abstract: Systems and computer program products for performing retransmission of data packets over a network. A node receives a data packet with a source and a destination address. The data packet is sent along a network path to the destination address, and information associated with the data packet is sent to a controller node that is independent of the network path. A controller receives information associated with a data packet from any forwarder node within a plurality of forwarder nodes each monitoring communications along separate communications paths. An indication of a receipt acknowledgement for the data packet is received from a second forwarder node that is separate from the first forwarder node and the controller node. The receipt acknowledgement is correlated with the data packet and based on the correlating, data associated with retransmission processing of the data packet is deleted.

Abstract: A method comprises analyzing, by a machine-learning model, a first network communication with a first set of inputs. The method also comprises inferring, by the machine-learning model and based on the analyzing, that a first device that is a party to the first network communication exhibits a device property. The method also comprises extracting, from the machine-learning model, a first set of significant inputs that had a significant impact on the determining. The method also comprises creating, using the first set of inputs, a rule for identifying the device property. The rule establishes a condition that, when present in a network communication, implies that a party to the network communication exhibits the device property.

Abstract: A queue management method, system, and recording medium include Selective Acknowledgments (SACK) examining to examine SACK blocks of a forwarder to selectively drop packets in a forward flow queue based on a reverse flow queue and MultiPath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) examining configured to perform a first examining to examine multipath headers to recognize MPTCP flows based on a comparison between two subflows being a part of a same superflow and a second examining to examine the reverse flow queue to determine if redundant data has been sent based on a result of the first examining, a packet in the forward flow queue from a prior transmission being dropped from the forward flow queue sent from the forwarder to a receiver if a metadata of the packet does not match a metadata of an acknowledged packet in the reverse flow queue.

Abstract: Techniques for adaptive asynchronous federated learning are described herein. An aspect includes providing a first version of a global parameter to a first client and a second client. Another aspect includes receiving, from the first client, a first gradient, wherein the first gradient was computed by the first client based on the first version of the global parameter and a respective first local dataset of the first client. Another aspect includes determining whether the first version of the global parameter matches a most recent version of the global parameter. Another aspect includes, based on determining that the first version of the global parameter does not match the most recent version of the global parameter, selecting a version of the global parameter. Another aspect includes aggregating the first gradient with the selected version of the global parameter to determine an updated version of the global parameter.
