  • Publication number: 20220286517
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic routing based on application load are described herein. The techniques may include receiving load information associated with resources of an application orchestration system that are allocated to host an application, the resources associated with different geographical regions. Based at least in part on the load information, a network controller may determine that first resources of the application orchestration system are less constrained than second resources of the application orchestration system, the first resources associated with a first geographical region and the second resources associated with a second geographical region. Based at least in part on the first resources being less constrained than the second resources, application traffic may be routed through the network to the application hosted by the first resources in the first geographical region.

  • Publication number: 20220029921
    Abstract: Techniques for obtaining application network metadata from a service registry so that a network routing policy may be derived for traffic associated with the application are described herein. The techniques may include receiving, at a service registry, network metadata associated with traffic of an application hosted by a scalable application service platform. The techniques may also include obtaining, by a controller of a network and from the service registry, the network metadata associated with the traffic of the application. Based at least in part on the network metadata, the controller may determine a routing policy that is optimized for sending the traffic through the network. Additionally, the controller may send an indication of the routing policy to a node of the network or otherwise provision the network such that the traffic of the application is sent through the network according to the routing policy.

  • Publication number: 20210211347
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an edge device located at an edge of a local network provides connectivity between the local network and a cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) provider via one or more interfaces. The edge device obtains telemetry data associated with the edge device for a plurality of metrics. The edge device makes a determination that one or more of the plurality of metrics is anomalous. The edge device sends, based on the determination, an indication of the determination to the SaaS provider. The SaaS provider uses the indication to determine a root cause of an application served by the SaaS provider experiencing degraded application performance.

  • Patent number: 6288969
    Abstract: Disclosed is an architecture of a RAM (random access memory) with BIST (built-in self test) or functional test function. The RAM has a memory cell for storing differential or single-ended binary data and bit line signals are fully differential or single-ended. Shadow write is applied to read only and read-write bit lines. With the test function, port-to-port bit line shorts and port-to-port word line shorts are sensitized.

  • Patent number: 5912850
    Abstract: A multi-port RAM (random access memory) includes RAM cells which are coupled to respective row and column lines of each port. RAM cells selected by signals on the row and column lines of a port store binary data. A ground level voltage is applied onto selected column lines in a shadow write mode. Any short between the active column lines and the column lines in shadow write will result in a significant error voltage being applied to the active column line and invalid read will result. Shorts between column lines from different ports are sensitized.
