Publication number: 20240333579Abstract: A downstream wired port receives network packets over the at least one or more downstream wired port. An upstream routing table, responsive the failure of the at least one of the one or more upstream wired ports, in this embodiment, determines whether a valid route for the network packets exists over the upstream network device. The upstream routing table, responsive to determining that a valid route exists, redirects the network packets for the failed upstream wired port to the upstream Wi-Fi port.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Fortinet.

Publication number: 20240323075Abstract: A change of a user device from a wireless connection to the enterprise network to a wired connection to the enterprise network (or a cellular network) is detected. In response, a snapshot of network conditions relevant to the user device are detected. A health check on the network conditions can identify specific network issues negatively affecting the user device and the issues are remediated. A remediation model is generated with AI that a different user change will occur based on a later health check revealing similar network conditions to the earlier health check. In response, the issues are automatically remediating the specific network issues based on the earlier stored remediation the earlier.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: September 26, 2024Applicant: Fortinet, Inc.Inventor: Venkatesh Kannan

Patent number: 11184741Abstract: Quarantine stations are steered to a hidden virtual access point for quarantining multicast and broadcast traffic from other traffic on an access point, or other device. The hidden virtual access point can be spawned, with the same configurations as a non-quarantine virtual access point, for on demand traffic containment. The data stream transmitted over Wi-Fi to the quarantine client using a different GTK key generated under virtual access point of hidden SSID for encryption of the multicast or broadcast transmission, and the data packet stream transmitted over wi-fi to the non-quarantine station using different GTK key generated under virtual access point SSID of regular SSID for encryption of the multicast or broadcast transmission.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2020Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventor: Venkatesh Kannan

Patent number: 10857552Abstract: An electrostatic painting device capable of reducing any AC or electromagnetic emissions when the device is powered on is provided. The emissions affect electronic components present during painting of various objects or even when the device is powered on. The electromagnetic induction into the conductive circuit elements in turn induces voltages and currents, which potentially harm the micro-electronic circuits. One such device includes a choke between a fluid tip and a high voltage source of the device to reduce these emissions. The voltage source may include at least one capacitor which supplies the AC emissions representing electromagnetic emissions risk during the discharge of paint from the device. The choke connected to the voltage source substantially reduces the emissions involved during the paint discharge, while allowing the discharge of electrons, thereby imparting negative DC charge to the paint and the workpiece, and preventing damage to electronic circuits during the process.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: PACCAR IncInventors: Stephen Bennett Elliott, Venkatesh Kannan Srinivasan, Mark Joseph Menzie

Patent number: 10159039Abstract: Systems and methods for steering WiFi clients based on capabilities of the clients and access points (APs) are provided. According to one embodiment, multiple access points (APs) of a wireless local area network (WLAN) receives probe requests from a WLAN client for joining the WLAN. The APs forward the probe requests to an AP controller (AC) that controls the APs of the WLAN. The AC selects one or more of the multiple APs based at least on the matching of the capability of the WLAN client and capabilities of the multiple APs and sends a confirmation to one or more of selected APs. The selected APs accept the probe requests to allow the WLAN client to join the WLAN through the one or more selected APs.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2017Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventor: Venkatesh Kannan

Patent number: 9730155Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a system and a method for providing power save aware multicast support. Specifically, a network device first determines that each of a first subset of client devices, of a plurality of client devices, is associated with a first characteristic indicating that the first subset of client devices is not in a power save mode. Based at least on the first determination, the network device transmits a message in a multicast format to the first subset of client devices. Second, the network device determines that each of a second subset of client devices, of the plurality of client devices, is associated with a second characteristic indicating that the second subset of client devices is in a power save mode. Based at least on the second determination, the network device transmits the message in a unicast format to each of the second subset of client devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Aruba Networks, Inc.Inventors: Gautam Bhanage, Venkatesh Kannan
