  • Patent number: 11431605
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for testing communication systems. In one embodiment, a communication device tester may include a traffic disciplining subsystem to generate a first stream of data packets satisfying a metric and may communicate the first stream of data packets to a test device in a first test scenario. A delay subsystem may generate a variable delay in a second stream of data packets and communicate the second stream of data packets to the test device in a second test scenario. A data corruption subsystem may corrupt a third stream of data packets and communicate the third stream of data packets to the test device in a third test scenario. A test subsystem may determine whether the test device satisfies at least one criterion of each of the first test scenario, the second test scenario, and the third test scenario.

  • Patent number: 11418432
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for automating the configuration of a software defined network (“SDN”). In one embodiment, a system may include a first communication host and a second communication host configured to transmit information to the first communication host. A network may provide communication between the first communication host and the second communication host using a plurality of network devices. An SDN controller in communication with the network may include an approved service subsystem to match the communication with an approved service. The SDN controller may also include an analysis subsystem configured to identify a communication flow corresponding to information transmitted by the second communication host to the first communication host. A traffic routing subsystem of the SDN controller may create the communication flow identified by the analysis subsystem between the second communication host and the first communication host.

  • Patent number: 10860552
    Abstract: A distributed resource parallel-operated rotating data-sorting network is disclosed. The rotating data-sorting network is an ultra-low latency design that may sift and sort values of interest from a continuous data stream or finite data set. The rotating data-sorting network includes a circular data structure that rotates through data sets and comprises a series of nodes.
