  • Patent number: 11916777
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains a first set of measurements of a path metric for a path in a network that are measured using periodic probing of the path. The device obtains a second set of measurements of the path metric for the path that are measured using fine-grained probing of the path at a higher frequency than that of the periodic probing. The device generates a predictive model that predicts values of the path metric, based on the first set of measurements and on the second set of measurements. The device causes, based on a value of the path metric predicted by the predictive model, traffic to be rerouted from the path to another path in the network.

  • Patent number: 11909618
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device computes, for each of a set of points of presence (PoPs) via which traffic for an online application can be sent from a location, application experience metrics predicted for the application over time. The device assigns, for each of the set of PoPs, weights to different time periods, based on measures of uncertainty associated with the predicted application experience metrics. The device generates, based on the weights assigned to the different time periods for each of the set of PoPs, schedules for probing network paths connecting the location to the online application via those PoPs. The device causes the network paths to be probed in accordance with their schedules. Results of this probing are used to select a particular PoP from among the set of PoPs via which traffic for the online application should be sent from the location during a certain time period.

  • Patent number: 11899809
    Abstract: A method and system for determining whether a consensus has been achieved for adding a block to a distributed ledger. The system receives a candidate block to add to the distributed ledger and receives block approvals of approving participants for the candidate block. The system calculates a total block approval stake that the approving participants have in the distributed ledger. The system identifies a total stake that participants have in the distributed ledger. When the total block approval stake is at least a threshold fraction of the total skate, the system indicates that the consensus has been achieved for adding the candidate block to the distributed ledger.
