  • Patent number: 9882959
    Abstract: In an approach to managing requests to a high utilization website, one or more computer processors receive a first resource usage load status from a first server computer. The one or more computer processors receive a request for content on the first server computer from a client. The one or more computer processors determine whether the first resource usage load is above a pre-defined threshold. Responsive to determining the first resource usage load is above the pre-defined threshold, the one or more computer processors create a queue of a plurality of content requesters, wherein the client is one of the plurality of content requesters. The one or more computer processors establish a bidirectional communication channel with the client.

  • Publication number: 20170005798
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for binding an application bundle. The method includes receiving a download request for an application bundle. The method also includes retrieving the application bundle from a master data store within an application store. The method further includes encrypting the retrieved application bundle based on a device specific encryption key associated with a device. The method also includes transmitting the encrypted application bundle to the device. The method further includes receiving an execution request for the transmitted application bundle. The method also includes decrypting the transmitted application bundle based on a device specific decryption key associated with the device. The method further includes sending the decrypted application bundle to an execution interface.

  • Publication number: 20160087978
    Abstract: A method including a computer device receiving a first authentication input from at least one user to start a multi-layered security protocol; the computer device receiving secondary authentication inputs from the at least one user to continue the multi-layered security protocol to determine if a security protocol has been met, wherein the secondary authentication inputs include receiving a first feature input from the at least one user and receiving a second feature from the at least one user; and the computer device determining if the first and secondary authentication inputs pass or fail the multi-layered security protocol.

  • Patent number: 8897316
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method for avoiding memory bandwidth utilization during packet processing. The packet processing core receives a plurality of packets. The packet processing core identifies the packet's quality of service (QoS) descriptor. The packet processing core determines that at least one packet should be moved to an off-chip packet stored prior to the packet being transmitted to the egress port. The packet processing core bases that determination, at least in part, on the packet's QoS descriptor. The packet processing core moves the determined packets to the off-chip packet store. The packet processing core determines that at least one packet should not be moved to the off-chip packet store prior to the packet being transmitted to the egress port. This determination is also made, at least in part, based on the packet's QoS descriptor.

  • Patent number: 7986706
    Abstract: A hierarchical pipelined distributed scheduling traffic manager includes multiple hierarchical levels to perform hierarchical winner selection and propagation in a pipeline including selecting and propagating winner queues of a lower level to subsequent levels to determine one final winning queue. The winner selection and propagation is performed in parallel between the levels to reduce the time required in selecting the final winning queue. In some embodiments, the hierarchical traffic manager is separated into multiple separate sliced hierarchical traffic managers to distributively process the traffic.
