Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for delaying packet transmissions over a wireless communication channel until a more favorable channel condition is detected. A device may measure a channel metric when it receives periodic beacon signals. The device may compare the channel metric against a programmed metric threshold. If the channel metric is less than the metric threshold, the device may delay the transmission of a packet until a later transmission window or transmit opportunity (TXOP) when the channel metric rises above the metric threshold, indicating the presence of a more favorable condition for transmission, or until a preconfigured timeout period elapses before the more favorable condition is found.

Abstract: A machine learning model including an autoencoder may be trained based on training data that includes sequences of non-anomalous performance metrics from an information technology system but excludes sequences of anomalous performance metrics. The trained machine learning model may process a sequence of performance metrics from the information technology system by generating an encoded representation of the sequence of performance metrics and generating, based on the encoded representation, a reconstruction of the sequence of performance metrics. An occurrence of the anomaly at the information technology system may be detected based on a reconstruction error present in reconstruction of the sequence of performance metrics. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are provided.

Abstract: In an example, a network switch is configured to natively act as a high-speed load balancer. Numerous load-balancing techniques may be used, including one that bases the traffic “bucket” on a source IP address of an incoming packet. This particular technique provides a network administrator a powerful tool for shaping network traffic. For example, by assigning certain classes of computers on the network particular IP addresses, the network administrator can ensure that the traffic is load balanced in a desirable fashion. To further increase flexibility, the network administrator may apply a bit mask to the IP address, and expose only a portion, selected from a desired octet of the address.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for tailoring the transmit power of a wireless device to the parameters of the device such as the process split, voltage, and temperature. The device may identify one or more parameters of the device such as identifying the process split, or sensing the operating voltage or temperature. The device may determine an updated transmit power based on the known parameter values identified and any unknown parameter values. The updated transmit power is determined to be a maximum transmit power that meets one or more target transmit metrics, such as EVM and spectral mask, when the device transmits based on the known parameter values and across a range of variations of the unknown parameter values. The device may adjust its transmit power based on the updated transmit power periodically.

Abstract: In an example, a network switch is configured to operate natively as a load balancer. The switch receives incoming traffic on a first interface communicatively coupled to a first network, and assigns the traffic to one of a plurality of traffic buckets. This may include looking up a destination IP of an incoming packet in a fast memory such as a ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) to determine whether the packet is directed to a virtual IP (VIP) address that is to be load balanced. If so, part of the source destination IP address may be used as a search tag in the TCAM to assign the incoming packet to a traffic bucket or IP address of a service node.

A content addressable memory of a network element is programmed with the plurality of forwarding entries. The network element selectively load balances network traffic by applying the plurality of forwarding entries to the network traffic, wherein network traffic meeting the load balancing criteria is load balanced among the plurality of network nodes.
