  • Patent number: 11968253
    Abstract: A load balancer includes: a request queue that stores a request scheduled to be transmitted to a server; a transmission unit that transmits a request read from the request queue to the server capable of processing the request; a reception unit that receives a completion message indicating that processing of the request is completed; and a completion list that stores the completion message, and the transmission unit discards a request for which the completion message is stored in the completion list without transmitting the request to the server, and transmits, to the server, a request for which the completion message is not stored in the completion list and stores the request again in the request queue.

  • Patent number: 11895267
    Abstract: A number management unit (11) of a number management system (1) generates a transaction to be managed in a blockchain based on number portability information obtained by receiving a number update request, generates a block obtained by aggregating multiple transactions, approves a suggested block by confirming normality of the block, and stores the block by connecting the block to a blockchain in a number database (13). If a reset of the block in the number database (13) is suggested, the number management unit (11) transmits, to multiple number management apparatuses (10), a reset suggestion block including, as a transaction, a reset suggestion, which is information indicating a suggestion for a reset, and if the reset suggestion block is approved, the number management unit (11) discards the blockchain in the number database (13).

  • Patent number: 11799685
    Abstract: There are provided a forward relay unit (31) configured to distribute a request from a radius client (1) which is a facing node of a microservice to the microservice to one of servers (5a and 5b) accommodating the microservice; and a backward relay unit (34) configured to perform NAPT on a request from the microservice to an address band of the facing node, and return a response from the facing node to the request to the microservice in a reverse order of a path along which the request has passed. Accordingly, in a microservice infrastructure on which an NFV application requiring IP authentication is mounted, it is possible to satisfy a requirement of an application of a request transmitted from a microservice to a facing node.

  • Publication number: 20230246877
    Abstract: The present invention involves: a forward relay unit (31) which distributes, to one of servers (5a, 5b) that contain microservices, a request to a microservice from a Radius client (1), which is a correspondent node for mi- croservices; and a reverse relay unit (34) which performs NAPT on a request from a microservice to the address band of the correspondent node, and returns, to the microservice, a response made by the correspondent node to the request, in the reverse order of the path through which the request has passed. As a result, microservice infrastructures equipped with NFV applications that require IP authentication can meet the application requirements for requests transmitted from microservices to correspondent nodes.
