  • Cloud-based middlebox management system
    Patent number: 9104492
    Abstract: A virtual network virtual machine may be implemented on a cloud computing facility to control communication among virtual machines executing applications and virtual machines executing middlebox functions. This virtual network virtual machine may provide for automatic scaling of middleboxes according to a heuristic algorithm that monitors the effectiveness of each middlebox on the network performance as application virtual machines are scaled. The virtual machine virtual network may also locate virtual machines in actual hardware to further optimize performance.
    Type: Grant
