Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes selecting, among service engines (SEs) executing on a respective plurality of hosts, a set of one or more SEs to perform health monitoring of an application, where a plurality of instances of the application are executing on at least some of the hosts, and the selected SE(s) includes a subset of the SEs. The method includes collecting health monitor data from the selected SE(s), determining a health condition based at least in part on the collected data, and outputting the health condition. In another embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a first SE of a first host among a plurality of hosts, configuration information pertaining to a subset of application instances executing on corresponding ones of the plurality of hosts, obtaining health data pertaining to the subset of application instances, and outputting the health data to be shared by the plurality of hosts.

Abstract: A method and a system for facilitating transactions are provided. A first payment mode is linked to one or more payment modes by a server. A first authorization option presented on a graphical interface of a terminal device enables a user to initiate a transaction using the first payment mode. One or more unique identifiers of the one or more payment modes, respectively, are communicated to the terminal device by the server based on a transaction request of the transaction. A first unique identifier, associated with a second payment mode that is linked to the first payment mode, is selected from the one or more unique identifiers. A selection notification indicating the selection of the first unique identifier is received by the server and a transaction amount of the transaction is charged to the second payment mode, when the transaction is authorized.

Abstract: Autoscaling comprises: accessing operational data associated with a pool of servers; determining an expected load associated with a service provided by the pool of servers based at least in part on the operational data; determining an estimated capacity associated with the service provided by the pool of servers; determining that an autoscale operation is to be performed based at least in part on the expected load and the estimated capacity, wherein the autoscale operation automatically scales out one or more additional servers or automatically scales in one or more servers in the pool of servers; and performing the autoscale operation.

Abstract: A network request is received. A server is selected among a plurality of servers eligible to handle the network request, wherein selecting the server includes selecting a server in an ordering of the plurality of servers based its load level. The selected server is enabled to handle the network request.

Abstract: Techniques of the present disclosure provide an embodiment of a multistage filter (MSF) that takes a rate limiting parameter. The entries of the MSF are updated upon each access. Each update may cause a different breakdown of entries in the MSF and the entries can be dynamically set to reduce collisions and their impact. In some embodiments, the MSF is: configured based on the rate limiting parameter, used to dynamically monitor network traffic and changing assignments, and adjustable in size. In some embodiments, hashing is performed on a per-row basis and seeding initializes entries of the buckets to entries that are the same within a given row and different within a given column.

Abstract: A method for selecting an optimized bandwidth for a geo-location controlled (GDC) station (STA) which does not have location determining capability includes: analyzing first statistical data indicating a bandwidth which is widely deployed across regions; and selecting that bandwidth as the optimized bandwidth. The method further includes checking a configuration file of the GDC STA to determine country information of where the GDC STA was sold; and selecting either a bandwidth corresponding to the country or selecting the bandwidth which is most widely deployed across regions according to the first statistical data as the optimized bandwidth.
