Publication number: 20230319143Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for remote management of appliances. The appliance may be configured to periodically check in a predetermined online location for the presence of a trigger file identifying one or more appliances directed to contact a management server for maintenance. If the file is present at the predetermined location and the file includes the identifier of the appliance, the appliance may initiate a connection to the management server. If the file is not found, then the appliance may reset a call timer and attempt to retrieve the file at a later time. To avoid having to configure addresses on the appliance, link local IPv6 addresses may be configured for use over a virtual private network, allowing administration, regardless of the network configuration or local IP address of the appliance.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventor: Karl Redgate

Publication number: 20060031506Abstract: Methods and systems for evaluating policies for load balancing in a network environment are disclosed. A switch provides load balancing of requests among different servers using an expression tree comprising data structures of precompiled executable code to determine an appropriate server group for sending traffic. When the switch receives a network request, such as an HTTP request, a policy evaluation processor executes the precompiled executable code to identify a group of network servers for servicing the request and forwards the request to the selected group of network servers. The request can be load balanced among the selected server group through any suitable load-balancing algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2004Publication date: February 9, 2006Applicant: SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC.Inventor: Karl Redgate
