Abstract: Manual discovery of devices in a device management environment can be performed from a management server. The manual discovery process can enable the discovery process to be initiated at the management server and can be performed without requiring an administrator or other user to manually configure each device to initiate and perform the discovery process. To discover devices to be managed, the management server, which can be a cloud based server or Software as a Service based server, can send a registration request to an on-premise server. The on-premise server can then relay this registration request to all devices on the same network infrastructure. The agent on each device can be configured to listen for such registration requests, and in response to receiving a registration request, can automatically register with the management server using information contained in the registration request. In this way, the management server can manually discover devices.

Abstract: A system used for identifying issues within a telecom network. Data is obtained from sources including probes and network elements. KPIs are identified for real-time streaming aggregation. Streaming data related to the KPIs is aggregated and an approximation of count-distinct subscribers and volume count is calculated, as well as count-distinct subscribers aggregating by each identified KPI. Drill objects found in the aggregated data are identified based on the calculations and real-time trending records are generated and stored for each drill object using an exponential moving average. Baseline averages are generated based on the real-time trending records. An increase in errors can then be detected based on the baseline averages and additionally aggregated real-time streaming data. Deviations in each drill object contributing to the detected increase in errors are then analyzed and a full case report is generated based on details of the deviations.

During operation, the system generates, by a client computing device, a query for one or more indices based on a name for an interest, wherein a name is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level.

The present methods and systems may be used with legacy hardware that are commissioned or deployed as well as new hardware that are configured with legacy protocols.

Abstract: Routing messages between virtual networks using a mapping of virtual addresses from one virtual network to a virtual address of the other virtual network. Each virtual network has a valid set of virtual addresses, some of which being assigned to virtual nodes within the corresponding network. When a virtual network identifies a message to be sent, it identifies a destination for the message. Some destinations may be within the same virtual network and thus may be routed to virtual nodes within the virtual network. Other destinations may instead be mapped to a virtual address of another virtual network. In that case, routing information may also be obtained and the message may be dispatched to the virtual address of the other virtual network. This may be performed without the need for a gateway, which publishes a public address that is globally unique.

Abstract: A system for creating a session entry and forwarding an IP packet includes memories that store session and session template tables, and first and second processors in communication with the memories. When the first processor receives the IP packet, it determines whether the session table includes a session entry corresponding to the IP packet. If the session table does not include the session entry, the first processor determines whether the session template table includes a session template entry corresponding to the IP packet. The first processor generates the session entry using the session template entry and the IP packet. If the session template table does not include the session template entry, the first processor forwards the IP packet to the second processor, which generates the session template entry and the session entry.

Abstract: A firmware controller of a node of a distributed system determines a self-regulation threshold for at least one metric associated with traffic transmitted via an interconnect. The threshold is set to a value lower than the maximum permitted by the interconnect protocol. The controller transmits a request to an application-layer traffic endpoint to limit traffic based on the threshold. A hardware congestion management unit collects measurements on traffic metrics, including at least one metric other than the one for which the threshold is defined. Based on measurements obtained from the hardware congestion management unit, the controller modifies the self-regulation threshold and notifies the application-layer endpoint.

Abstract: Server resources in a data center are disaggregated into shared server resource pools. Servers are constructed dynamically, on-demand and based on workload requirements, by allocating from these resource pools. A disaggregated compute system of this type keeps track of resources that are available in the shared server resource pools, and it manages those resources based on that information. Each server entity built is assigned with a unique server ID, and each resource that comprises a component thereof is tagged with the identifier. As a workload is processed by the server entity, its composition may change, e.g. by allocating more resources to the server entity, or by de-allocating resources from the server entity. Workload requests are associated with the unique server ID for the server entity. When a workload request is received at a resource, it matches its unique server ID to that of the request before servicing the request.
