Abstract: A method of locating endpoint connectors of a network cable comprises: capturing an incoming packet carrying therein a specific identifier from an echo request instruction; determining whether the incoming packet carries therein the specific identifier; and in response to determining that the incoming packet received carries therein the specific identifier, triggering an indicating device indicative of locations of endpoint connectors of a network cable.

Abstract: A security appliance system routing strings of data packets in a high availability environment. The security appliance system contains a plurality of intrusion prevention systems connected to a load balancer and a computing device. Each intrusion prevention system contains stored session state information in a local session state data store, the load balancer contains a shared hash algorithm, and the computing device contains a connection state manager containing a network session state data store. The computing device includes a topology manager recording connectivity changes of the intrusion prevention systems and accordingly adjusting the shared hash algorithm for the recorded connectivity changes. Using the shared hash algorithm and routing information, a hash value is assigned to received strings.
