Patent number: 11936663Abstract: An example method includes detecting, using sensors, packets throughout a datacenter. The sensors can then send packet logs to various collectors which can then identify and summarize data flows in the datacenter. The collectors can then send flow logs to an analytics module which can identify the status of the datacenter and detect an attack.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Navindra Yadav, Abhishek Ranjan Singh, Shashidhar Gandham, Ellen Christine Scheib, Omid Madani, Ali Parandehgheibi, Jackson Ngoc Ki Pang, Vimalkumar Jeyakumar, Michael Standish Watts, Hoang Viet Nguyen, Khawar Deen, Rohit Chandra Prasad, Sunil Kumar Gupta, Supreeth Hosur Nagesh Rao, Anubhav Gupta, Ashutosh Kulshreshtha, Roberto Fernando Spadaro, Hai Trong Vu, Varun Sagar Malhotra, Shih-Chun Chang, Bharathwaj Sankara Viswanathan, Fnu Rachita Agasthy, Duane Thomas Barlow

Patent number: 11902120Abstract: An example method can include choosing a pattern or patterns of network traffic. This pattern can be representative of a certain type of traffic such as an attack. The pattern can be associated with various components of a network and can describe expected behavior of these various components. A system performing this method can then choose a nodes or nodes to generate traffic according to the pattern and send an instruction accordingly. After this synthetic traffic is generated, the system can compare the behavior of the components with the expected behavior. An alert can then be created to notify an administrator or otherwise remedy any problems.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Rohit Chandra Prasad, Bharathwaj Sankara Viswanathan, Hoang Viet Nguyen, Vimalkumar Jeyakumar, Roberto Fernando Spadaro, Varun Sagar Malhotra, Navindra Yadav

Patent number: 11902124Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for determining a packet's round trip time (RTT) in a network. A system can receive information of a packet sent by a component of the network and further determine an expected acknowledgement (ACK) sequence number associated with the packet based upon received information of the packet. The system can receive information of a subsequent packet received by the component and determine an ACK sequence number and a receiving time of the subsequent packet. In response to determining that the ACK sequence number of the subsequent TCP packet matches the expected ACK sequence number, the system can determine a round trip time (RTT) of the packet based upon the received information of the packet and the received information of the subsequent packet.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mohammadreza Attar, Navindra Yadav, Abhishek Ranjan Singh, Vimalkumar Jeyakumar, Shashidhar Gandham, Roberto Fernando Spadaro

Patent number: 11637762Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically discovering applications/clusters in a network and mapping dependencies between the applications/clusters. A network monitoring system can capture network flow data using sensors executing on physical and/or virtual servers of the network and sensors executing on networking devices connected to the servers. The system can determine a graph including nodes, representing at least the servers, and edges, between pairs of the nodes of the graph indicating the network flow data includes one or more observed flows between pairs of the servers represented by the pairs of the nodes. The system can determine a dependency map, including representations of clusters of the servers and representations of dependencies between the clusters, based on the graph. The system can display a first representation of a first cluster of the dependency map and information indicating a confidence level of identifying the first cluster.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ellen Christine Scheib, Ali Parandehgheibi, Omid Madani, Vimalkumar Jeyakumar, Navindra Yadav, Mohammadreza Alizadeh Attar
