Abstract: Examples include a network device to filter a packet for a packet type. The network device includes a filter to receive the packet and to determine whether the packet is a defined packet type. The network device also includes a Bloom filter to receive the packet from the filter based on the determination that the packet is a defined packet type and to determine whether the packet is a matched packet or an unmatched packet. A processing resource of the network device may receive the packet from the Bloom filter based on the determination that the packet is a matched packet and to determine whether the packet is an exact match.

Abstract: In one implementation, an example system may include a policy engine. The policy engine may receive a context of an application to request a set of network traffic and provide a policy rule to a network device of a network path. In another implementation, an example system may identify a party and a requested behavior of the service and maintain a context to determine a policy rule to regulate a set of network traffic associated with the service based on the party and the requested behavior. In another implementation, an example method may comprise receiving a service request and an authentication, identifying a party, identifying a behavior, and deploying a policy to a network device of a network based on the party and the behavior.

Abstract: A method for validating a database of a NoSQL database management system (DBMS) includes selecting a database generation for validation. The method also includes performing fast mode validation for the selected database generation. The method further includes determining whether the selected database generation is valid. Additionally, the method includes presenting the selected database generation to the NoSQL DBMS if the selected database generation is valid.

Abstract: A method for asynchronous garbage collection in a distributed database is described herein, The method includes budding a set of candidates for garbage collection and transmitting a garbage collection task to each stage of a pipeline. The method also includes removing data from each stage of the pipeline based on the set of candidates for garbage collection.
