Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for identifying and resolving port conflicts during application deployment. The port conflicts may be identified based on application documentation and active port information. The port conflicts may be resolved by identifying an available port and providing information about the available port to a conflicting application. The port conflicts may also be resolved by identifying an available IP address and providing a port on the available IP address to a conflicting application. Further, if conflicting applications allow port sharing, the port conflicts may be resolved by providing port sharing information to the conflicting applications.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for configuring a network device on a private network. A network device broadcasts a status message to the private network. The network device receives a request from a client and sends a response. The network device and the client establish a direct message route wherein one or more network configuration settings are exchanged between the client computer and the network device.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for resolving hostnames on a private network with a public Internet server. One embodiment of the invention provides for a public Internet server configured to generate a private network ID when a new private network is identified, wherein the private network ID is a unique reference to all nodes within a private network and wherein the private network is comprised of one or more private DNS servers. The public internet server stores the private network ID and an IP address for at least one or more private DNS servers on the private network and sends, upon request, the private network ID to at least one of the private DNS servers.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for resolving hostnames on a private network with a distributed DNS server configuration. One embodiment of the invention provides for a client resolver configured to communicate with a distributed network of servers. The client resolver receives a hostname query and determines if the hostname query is of the type single label hostname or fully qualified hostname. If the hostname query received is of the type fully qualified hostname, the client resolver routes the hostname query to a server with a longest matching domain suffix. If the hostname query received is of the type single label hostname the client resolver generates one or more new fully qualified hostnames and routes the hostname query to each server on the private network.

Abstract: Systems methods and computer products for reclaiming resident buffers on demand. Exemplary embodiments include systems and methods for reclaiming resident buffers, including allocating a buffer, determining that the buffer allocation pushes the buffer pool below a reclaim threshold, marking an oldest in-use buffer to be reclaimed, determining that all messages referencing the buffer have been queued, allocating a new buffer and performing a swap of the oldest in-use buffer and the new buffer, performing a free message block operation and updating a message block by updating a set of read and write pointers to point to the new buffer.

Abstract: systems methods and computer products for reclaiming resident buffers on demand. Exemplary embodiments include systems and methods for reclaiming resident buffers, including allocating a buffer, determining that the buffer alllocation pushes the buffer pool below a reclaim threshold, marking an oldest in-use buffer to be reclaimed, determining that all messages referencing the buffer have been queued, allocating a new buffer and performing a swap of the oldest in-use buffer and the new buffer, performing a free message block operation and updating a message block by updating a set of read and write pointers to point to the new buffer.
