Patent number: 11743724Abstract: A method and system for determining a path of data traffic based on a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address, the destination IP address being either private or public and belonging to any one of multiple organizations. In the method and system, a VPN is activated at a telecommunication endpoint. In response to activating the VPN, a service device on a private network interconnects with a VPN gateway. A subscriber identifier associated with the telecommunication endpoint and the destination IP address of one of the multiple organizations is received at a managed service platform. If both the subscriber identifier and the destination IP address of the one of the multiple organizations are not registered in a predetermined policy database at the telecommunication endpoint, a subscriber identified by the subscriber identifier is prompted to register the subscriber identifier associated with the telecommunication endpoint.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Tata Communications (UK) LimitedInventors: Ranjith Kumar Chennupati, Stuart Mitchell, Marc Schneider, Eric Alistair Williams

Publication number: 20210021987Abstract: A method and a system for determining a path of data traffic based on a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address, the destination IP address being either private or public and belonging to any one of multiple organizations. In the method and system, a subscribed device identifier and the destination IP address of one of the multiple organizations is received at a managed service platform. If both the subscribed device identifier and the destination IP address of the one of the multiple organizations are not registered in a predetermined policy database, a subscriber or an owner of the subscribed device is prompted, at a telecommunications endpoint associated with the subscribed device identifier, to register the endpoint. The subscribed device identifier is then registered in the predetermined policy database, based on information received from the telecommunications endpoint in response to the prompting.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Ranjith Kumar CHENNUPATI, Stuart MITCHELL, Marc SCHNEIDER, Eric Alistair WILLIAMS

Patent number: 8924931Abstract: Techniques are provided for determining dependencies in a mainframe development environment. While executing a first build file to generate a first build of a software program from files in a file system, the activity in the file system is monitored to determine a plurality of files that are being accessed, and first information about the plurality of files is recorded. The first information is sent to a configuration management server. From the configuration management server, second information is received that indicates one or more dependencies which are determined among the plurality of files based on the first information. Based at least on the second information, a second build file is generated. The second build file is executed to generate a second build of the software program, where the second build is generated more efficiently by using less computing resources than the first build of the software program.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Serena Software, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Harding, Stuart Mitchell, Michael Troth, Peter Raymond
