  • Patent number: 10623484
    Abstract: An efficient, flexible P2P file transmission management technology for limiting and directing of P2P file transmission mainly by replacing an original tracker server with a setting controllable tracker server, and modifying node list based on predetermined rule in the controllable tracker server. With the present invention, a network operator can strengthen function of the controllable tracker server in P2P communication gradually by weakening function of the original tracker server in P2P communication gradually, and utilize various rules or policies established in advance to manage file transfer of P2P nodes.

  • Patent number: 10506047
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for dynamically subscribing to management information and a method and system for dispensing management information. According to the present invention, a management topic and a participant associated with the management topic may be dynamically determined, and the management topic may be subscribed to for the determined participant. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently utilize a publish/subscribe mechanism in dispensing management information in a case where the intelligence of the managed device is unequal to the intelligence of the managing device, thereby avoiding creation and utilization of an additional management channel and significantly reducing the complexity and management cost of the system.

  • Patent number: 9671856
    Abstract: A pipeline-based processor and method. The method includes partitioning a particular pipeline into one or more base pipeline stages and a plurality of enhanced pipeline stages, each enhanced pipeline stage configured to be either a shutdown enhanced pipeline stage or an activated enhanced pipeline stage. Each enhanced pipeline stage has an enhanced stage priority level. The method also includes configuring each enhanced pipeline stage to be activated or shut down based at least on the enhanced stage priority level. The method additionally includes partitioning a particular pipeline stage into at least one base module and a plurality of enhanced modules, each enhanced pipeline stage configured to be either a shutdown enhanced pipeline stage or an activated enhanced pipeline stage. Each enhanced module has a particular priority level. The method further includes configuring each enhanced module to be activated or shut down based at least on the particular priority level.
