Abstract: Embodiments identify a station that rotates an over the air station address. As address rotation was not originally designed into wireless networks, the rotation can introduce communication challenges for the station. The embodiments derive that traffic referencing two different over the air station addresses are associated with a single common station. This is accomplished by determining a similarity between properties of two sets of traffic. A first set of traffic references the first over the air station address and a second set of traffic references the second over the air station address. If the properties common across the two sets of traffic indicate sufficient similarity, the embodiments determine that both sets of traffic are associated with a single device. Network configuration of the device is then adjusted based on the determination.

Abstract: Workload-responsive segment cleaning of log structured filesystems (LFSs) is disclosed. When multiple independent LFSs overlap on spanning a set of storage disks (including non-volatile memory express storage), a global segment cleaner (GSC) for each disk coordinates the cleaning rates of the local segment cleaners (LSCs) for each LFS having a presence on that disk. LFSs send usage information to relevant GSCs that select usage thresholds to trigger cleaning and cleaning rates. When capacity fullness (e.g., segments having at least one used block) meets a threshold, segment cleaning is performed at a rate based on capacity fullness and an equilibrium cleaning rate. Cleaning rates speed up when storage is more full, to provide capacity for burst writing events, but slow down when less full, to reduce overhead burden. LFSs clean at the highest rate identified for every GSC's usage threshold an LFS meets.
