Patent number: 9602442Abstract: Allocation of buffers for a TCP proxy session between a client and a server by a service gateway includes monitoring dynamic network behaviors for server and client side sessions of the TCP proxy session; and allocating capacity for a server side buffer and capacity for a client side buffer in a memory buffer based on the dynamic server side network behaviors, the dynamic client side network behaviors, and a weighted average of a capacity of the memory buffer. In one approach to the allocation, the gateway determines whether an available capacity of the server or client side buffer is sufficient to store a data packet. If not sufficient, the allocated capacity of the server or client side buffer is increased based on measurements of the dynamic network behaviors and the weighted average, and the available capacity of the server or client side buffer is adjusted accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: A10 Networks, Inc.Inventor: Liang Han

Publication number: 20170040668Abstract: An electronic device may have wireless circuitry with antennas. An antenna resonating element arm for a given antenna may be formed from metal structures supported by a plastic carrier. The antenna resonating element arm may be coupled to switching circuitry to isolate the antenna resonating element arm when the antenna resonating element arm is not being used to handle communications in a communications band.

Patent number: 9531846Abstract: Reducing buffer usage for a TCP proxy session between a client and a server by a service gateway includes: determining a first round trip time (RTT) for a server side TCP session and determining a second RTT for a client side TCP session; comparing the first RTT with the second RTT; determining whether the second RTT exceeds the first RTT beyond a threshold; if so, then calculating a desired RTT based on the second RTT; and setting a timer according to the calculated desired RTT, where a TCP acknowledgement for the server side TCP session is delayed until the timer expires. The desired RTT may be calculated as a percentage of the second RTT or as the second RTT minus a predetermined value. The service gateway waits until the timer has expired before sending a TCP acknowledgement data packet to the server.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: A10 Networks, Inc.Inventors: Liang Han, Zhiruo Cao

Patent number: 9386088Abstract: A service gateway includes a fast path module for processing data packets without using packet buffers and a normal path module for processing data packets using packet buffers. The fast path module receives a service request data packet from a client side session, determines that the service request data packet cannot be processed by the fast path module, and in response, sends the service request data packet to the normal path module. After receiving the service request data packet, the normal path module retrieves a first proxy session record created by the fast path module, where the first proxy session record is associated with a client session record for the client side session, creates a second proxy session record based on the service request data packet and the client session record, and processes the service request data packet according to the second proxy session record.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: A10 Networks, Inc.Inventors: Wei Zheng, Liang Han
