  • Patent number: 11438300
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for an alternate control channel for a network protocol stack are disclosed. In some embodiments a controller device provides instructions to one or more source devices. The controller device instructs the one or more source devices to override network parameters associated with network communication performed by the source devices. The network parameters to be overridden may include transport level source ports, source network addresses, or source link level addresses. In some embodiments, a range of override values are specified. In some of these aspects, a source device may perform time division multiplexing via the multiple override values, such that data generated by a single device may appear to be transmitted by multiple devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11412073
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for an alternate control channel for a network protocol stack are disclosed. In some embodiments a controller device provides instructions to one or more source devices via a shared memory. The controller device instructs the one or more source devices to override network parameters associated with network communication performed by the source devices. The network parameters to be overridden may include transport level source ports, source network addresses, or source link level addresses. In some embodiments, a range of override values are specified. In some of these aspects, a source device may perform time division multiplexing via the multiple override values, such that data generated by a single device may appear to be transmitted by multiple devices.

  • Patent number: 10942888
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for providing data between a sensor device and a target device. The data is provided using remote direct memory access. The target device includes a first network interface card for a first network. The target device includes a processor to encode a message to configure communication over the first network with a node. Configuration information regarding the communication over the first network is transmitted to the sensor device over a second, different network. The configuration information includes a media access control (MAC) address of a network interface card of the node and remote direct memory access (RDMA) settings. The processor decodes data associated with an RDMA operation from the sensor device received on the first network. The sensor device does not include a network interface card for the first network. The data includes the MAC address.
