  • Patent number: 10742530
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic using network monitoring computers (NMCs). Two or more network segments coupled by bridge devices may be monitored by NMCs. The bridge devices may modify network traffic passed from one network segment to another network segment. Flows in network segments may be determined based on monitored network traffic associated with the network segments. Other flows in other network segments may be determined based on other monitored network traffic associated with the other network segments. A correlation score for two or more flows in different network segments may be provided based on a correlation model. Two or more related flows may be determined based on a value of the correlation score of the two or more related flows located in different network segments. A report that includes information about the two or more related flows may be provided.

  • Patent number: 10628559
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter includes techniques for application management including a managed application storefront module to return an access mechanism for a subset of purchasable applications to a storefront based on user information. An example system can also include a recording module to store usage information for the subset of purchasable applications accessed from the storefront. The usage information can include the user information, organization information, and an application version for each of the subset of purchasable applications accessed by the user. Another example system can include an administrative module to regulate access of the user, based on information recorded by the recording module, to a purchasable application of the subset of purchasable applications. In an example, this application management system, and its related techniques, can be used in ground up trial of applications by a large number of users, such as employees.

  • Publication number: 20200007443
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a relay that receives packets from a source gateway associated with a source gateway identifier (GID) and a target GID associated with a target gateway where each GID is separate from a network address or a hostname of the source gateway or the target gateway. The relay determines a connection route based on an association between the connection route and an ingress identifier obtained from the packets. The relay provides the connection route based on the source GID and the target GID. The relay determines network address information associated with the target gateway based on the connection route. And, the relay forwards the packets provided by the source gateway to the target gateway based on the network address information.

  • Patent number: 10326799
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to secure communication over a network. If a source node sends a communication to a target node, a source gateway may forward the communication to the target node. The source gateway may provide a gateway identifier (GID) that may be associated with one or more target gateways associated with the target node. Further, the source gateway may embed marker information that includes at least a portion of the GID in the communication. If the GID is associated with more than one target gateway, a TMD selects one target gateway from the more than one target gateways. Also, the TMD provides a gateway key associated with the selected target gateway that is associated with the communication. And, the TMD may provide the communication to the selected target gateway that provides the communication to the target node.
