  • Patent number: 9253021
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an aggregation device within a computer network domain receives one or more capability messages from one or more devices in the computer network domain. The aggregation device may then aggregate device capabilities from the capability messages, and provides the aggregated device capabilities to a management device located outside of the computer network domain.

  • Patent number: 9218216
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a centralized device for a computer network divides the computer network into one or more regions for which performance is to be measured, and selects one or more nodes within each respective region of the one or more regions. The centralized device may then send a performance measurement request (PMR) to the selected node(s) for each region, and receives measured performance reports from the selected node(s) for each region in response to the PMR. Accordingly, based on the measured performance reports, the centralized device may then adjust at least one of either the divided regions or the selected node(s) for one or more of the one or more regions, e.g., for future PMRs.

  • Patent number: 9182961
    Abstract: A system and method accepts source code including one or more variables or constants, and, for those variables or constants flagged as those that are to be automatically provided to a gateway, generates or provides communication code and a description that allows the values to be sent to a gateway for retrieval using a variety of formats. More specifically, certain containers within the source code are marked to indicate that the certain containers are remotely retrievable. These marked containers are linked to an entry in the profile. Then responsive to the source code indicating that at least one of the devices is a wireless portable device, a new profile is generated and is used along with the source code to generate a set of code for at least one of the one or more devices that can repeatedly providing, to a gateway, a value named in the source code.

  • Patent number: 8752006
    Abstract: A system and method accepts source code for one or more procedures and, for those procedures flagged as being remotely callable, generates communication code and a description that allows the code to be remotely callable via a server using a variety of formats, such as conventional web services formats.

  • Patent number: 8612583
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network management system (NMS) determines an intent to initialize a request-response exchange with a plurality of clients in a low power and lossy network (LLN). In response, the NMS adaptively schedules corresponding responses from the clients to distribute the responses across a period of time based on a network state of the LLN. Accordingly, requests may be generated by the NMS with an indication of a corresponding schedule to be used by the clients to respond, and transmitted into the LLN to solicit the responses, which are then received at the NMS according to the indicated schedule.
