  • Publication number: 20250030643
    Abstract: Devices, networks, systems, methods, and processes for utilizing a time-based queue are described herein. A device may receive an object stream comprising multiple objects. The device may assign a Time-To-Live (TTL) value for each object in the object stream and a maximum TTL value for the object stream. The device may create and store the time-based queue in a memory based on the maximum TTL value. The device may insert the objects in the time-based queue at corresponding object insertion times. The device can pop the objects out of the time-based queue in First-In-First-Out (FIFO) order. The objects may expire when time periods indicated by corresponding TTL values elapse after the corresponding object insertion times. The device can further remove the expired objects from the time-based queue. The time-based queue stored in the memory can include references to the objects stored in a time-based storage in form of an array.

  • Patent number: 10257265
    Abstract: A redundancy network protocol system may include a server to manage one or more virtual internet protocol address (VIP) profiles. Each VIP profile may be shared across one or more neighboring servers. The neighboring servers may be in the same broadcast domain or distributed to be multiple Layer 3 hops away from one another. The redundancy network protocol system may monitor server health and reachability and further manage the server health and reachability to achieve redundancy. The system may be used to provide high availability to selected applications.
