  • Spinner arm
    Patent number: 8763301
    Abstract: A spinnerbait has deviations on its upper arm. The deviations project in directions other than that in which the lure moves through the water, thus providing enhanced shimmer and vibration at minimal cost.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2014

  • Service performance correlation and analysis
    Patent number: 7159026
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided to determine performance of a network. A first measurement relating to a first layer of communications in the network and a second measurement relating to a second layer of communications in the network are provided. Based on the first and second measurements, a set of parameters is generated. The performance of the network is then determined based on the generated set of parameters.

  • Method and system for measuring IP performance metrics
    Patent number: 6836466
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for measuring network performance. The method and system divides a stream of packets flowing through a first point into frames, the first point being any point in the network that supports a packet flow, creates packages corresponding to the frames, correlates each package with packets flowing through a second point, the second point being any point in the network that supports the packet flow, and calculates network performance information based on the correlated packages.

  • Auto-discovery of network configuration
    Publication number: 20030145072
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided to determine the configuration of a network such as its topology. Based on status information received from nodes in the network, respective labels that indicate one or more virtual connections traversing the nodes are determined. Based on the determined labels, one or more links connecting the nodes are identified. The configuration of the network is then determined based on the identified links.

  • Virtual network configuration verification
    Publication number: 20030145069
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are provided to verify a configuration of a network. A first set of information relating to a virtual representation of the network and a second set of information relating to the state of the network are provided. The first and second sets of information may include information, such as information about provisioning of the network and management information base parameters, respectively. Based on the first set and second set of information, it is determined whether the virtual representation and the state of the network are consistent with each other.
