Patent number: 11823701Abstract: A network validation system is described which may perform operations such as generating, analyzing, verifying, correcting, recommending, and deploying language, symbols, etc., such as domain specific language, configured to allow users to express their intent on the configuration and operation of a network, such as a cloud-based network. The network validation system may provide domain specific language that includes rules, statements, symbols, data, etc., configured to convey the intent of users on the configuration and operation of networks for purposes such as configuring and/or validating communication paths, testing or setting associated network object configurations, and may be employed to report violations in such configurations relative to user intent of the one or more users. The network validation system may also be employed to monitor such domain specific language and generate telemetry signaling, for example, that a rule has or has not been violated, actions a user may take, etc.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Peter J.

Patent number: 11171836Abstract: Techniques are described for providing virtual networking functionality for managed computer networks. In some situations, a user may configure or otherwise specify one or more virtual local area networks (“VLANs”) for a managed computer network being provided for the user, such as with each VLAN including multiple computing nodes of the managed computer network. Networking functionality corresponding to the specified VLAN(s) may then be provided in various manners, such as if the managed computer network itself is a distinct virtual computer network overlaid on one or more other computer networks, and communications between computing nodes of the managed virtual computer network are handled in accordance with the specified VLAN(s) of the managed virtual computer network by emulating functionality that would be provided by networking devices of the managed virtual computer network if they were physically present and configured to support the specified VLAN(s).Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Jason Brandwine, Peter J.

Patent number: 10764363Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with network peering discovery are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, and storing in a data structure, a customer location where a customer terminal is located, and platform information identifying a multi-tenant platform. A network exchange point is identified, and includes network hardware where a physical network connection to the multi-tenant platform is to be established for the customer terminal. If a distance separating the network exchange point from the customer location does not exceed a threshold, the data structure is modified to include a local network connection between the network exchange point and the customer terminal. If the distance exceeds the threshold, the data structure is modified to include a third-party network between the customer terminal and the network exchange point. The modified data structure is transmitted to a remote computer terminal to control creation of a peer connection.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Peter J. Hill, Sushant Mantri, Tal Altman

Patent number: 9710873Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, providing point of interest item recommendations and/or map information. In some examples, a profile for a first user may be determined based at least in part on point of interest information. Additionally, point of interest associations may be received from one or more of a group of users, where at least one of the group is not the first user. Based at least in part on the determined profile of the first user and the received point of interest associations, a map route and/or map information associated with a route from a first location to at least a second location may be generated.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Peter J.
