  • Publication number: 20150304206
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a controller device in a computer network domain learns border gateway protocol (BGP) egress peering segments from one or more border routers of the domain, and determines a selected flow to segment route via a particular egress peering segment, the selected flow from a given routing device within the domain to a given destination of a remote domain. As such, the controller device may then instruct the given routing device to segment route the selected flow via the particular egress peering segment. In another embodiment, an egress border router shares its BGP egress peering segments, and receives a flow to segment route. The egress border router may determine, from a segment route contained within the flow, to which particular egress peering segment of the border router to segment route the flow, and forwards the flow out of the domain via the particular egress peering segment.

  • Patent number: 9124644
    Abstract: An egress packet modifier includes a script parser and a pipeline of processing stages. Rather than performing egress modifications using a processor that fetches and decodes and executes instructions in a classic processor fashion, and rather than storing a packet in memory and reading it out and modifying it and writing it back, the packet modifier pipeline processes the packet by passing parts of the packet through the pipeline. A processor identifies particular egress modifications to be performed by placing a script code at the beginning of the packet. The script parser then uses the code to identify a specific script of opcodes, where each opcode defines a modification. As a part passes through a stage, the stage can carry out the modification of such an opcode. As realized using current semiconductor fabrication process, the packet modifier can modify 200M packets/second at a sustained rate of up to 100 gigabits/second.

  • Publication number: 20150224144
    Abstract: Provided herein is a composition comprising transfusable red blood cells having improved storage capability, wherein a C9 inhibitor has been administered to the composition and thereby the composition has a reduced amount of red blood cell lysis as compared to a control. It is a surprising finding of the present invention that addition of a C9 inhibitor to a blood sample decreases the amount of red cell lysis in the sample over time. Accordingly, the present invention provides red blood cell compositions that can be stored for greater lengths of time before use, i.e., transfusion, and/or that have a reduced amount of storage lesion.

  • Publication number: 20150207728
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a plurality of packets is sent from an origin device along a communication path toward a destination device. Each packet includes a lifespan indicator which is incrementally increased for each subsequently sent packet. A plurality of response messages are received at the origin device from a plurality of intermediate devices, respectively. A plurality of secure path objects included in the plurality of response messages, respectively, is determined. Additionally, the plurality of secure path objects are validated based on validation information accessible by the origin device. Validation results of the plurality of secure path objects are checked to determine whether a packet that is sent from the origin device and received by the destination device travels along a particular communication path as dictated by control plane information.

  • Publication number: 20150207729
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a router located at an exit edge of an autonomous system (AS) receives a data packet in a data plane, and determines a destination of the data packet and an associated AS-path information to the destination. The router may then insert the AS-path information into the data packet, and forwards the data packet with the AS-path information toward the destination, such that a receiving device in a destination AS can validate whether the data packet was routed through a path that was secure from a control plane perspective based on a collection of one or more insertions of AS-path information.

  • Publication number: 20150207818
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a validation server in a computer network determines that an edge router of the computer network has blocked access to a desired server address based on the edge router not having authentication information for the desired server address. In response, the server creates a white-listing policy to temporarily allow access to the desired server address at the edge router, and sends the white-listing policy to the edge router. The validation server may then proceed with performing server fetching operations to the desired server address from the validation server while the white-listing policy is in effect, and instructs the edge device to remove the white-listing policy once the server fetching operations are completed.

  • Publication number: 20150125553
    Abstract: It has been surprisingly discovered that administration of nitrite to subjects causes a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in blood flow to tissues. The effect is particularly beneficial, for example, to tissues in regions of low oxygen tension. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate a subject's blood pressure and blood flow, for example, by the administration of nitrite salts. Provided herein are methods of administering a pharmaceutically-acceptable nitrite salt to a subject, for treating, preventing or ameliorating a condition selected from: (a) ischemia-reperfusion injury (e.g., hepatic or cardiac or brain ischemia-reperfusion injury); (b) pulmonary hypertension (e.g., neonatal pulmonary hypertension); or (c) cerebral artery vasospasm.

  • Patent number: 8995446
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a router may store a “neighbor table” for storing the router's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) neighbors. Each neighbor corresponds to a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance and associated VRF identifier (ID), and the neighbor table indexes the BGP neighbors according to their respective VRF ID. In response to initiating a BGP update generation for a BGP table having BGP network entries, each entry having an associated VRF ID that indicates to which VRF instance the BGP entry is to be advertised, a single lookup operation for each BGP entry is performed into the neighbor table based on the corresponding VRF ID of each BGP entry to determine a corresponding VRF update group of indexed BGP neighbors to which each BGP entry is to be advertised. Accordingly, a shared BGP update may be generated for each VRF update group for the initiated BGP update generation.
