Patent number: 11870756Abstract: A unidirectional transfer protocol allows data to be transmitted from a non-secure network into a secure network. A non-secure gateway may receive data and/or information, intended for the secure network, from one or more devices. The gateway may fragment the data and/or information into smaller chunks and transmit the chunks to a secure gateway via a unidirectional communication channel. The secure gateway may verify the chunks using one or more rules and reassemble the chunks when the data is validated. The reassembled data may be sent across a secure network enclave. The unidirectional transfer protocol may provide a hardware-agnostic solution for transmitting data over a unidirectional communication channel.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Science Applications International CorporationInventor: Travis Ferguson

Patent number: 11863431Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of facilitating fine-grain flow control (FGFC) is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a network interface, an FGFC logic block, and a traffic management logic block. During operation, the network interface can determine that a control frame from a switch is associated with FGFC. The network interface can then identify a data flow indicated in the control frame for applying the FGFC. The FGFC logic block can insert information from the control frame into an entry of a data structure stored in the NIC. The traffic management logic block can identify the entry in the data structure based on one or more fields of a packet belonging to the flow. Subsequently, the traffic management logic block can determine whether the packet is allowed to be forwarded based on the information in the entry.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: David Charles Hewson, Abdulla M.

Patent number: 11856074Abstract: In order for efficiently managing communications between a UE (10) and multiple SCSs (20_1-20_n), the UE (10) includes, in one message, multiple pieces of data to be transmitted to the SCSs (20_1-20_n), and sends the message to an MTC-IWF (30). The MTC-IWF (30) receives the message from the UE (10), and distributes the date to the SCSs (20_1-20_n). Each of the SCSs sends (20_1-20_n), to the MTC-IWF (30), data to be transmitted to the UE (10) and an indicator that indicates for the SCSs (20_1-20 n) the time tolerance until the data is transmitted to the UE (10). The MTC-IWF (30) receives the data and the indicators from the SCSs (20_1-20_n), and determines when to forward the data to the UE (10) based on the indicators.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Xiaowei Zhang, Anand Raghawa Prasad

Patent number: 11831543Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for flow control using a multiple flit interface. A credit return field is used in a credit-based flow control system to indicate that one or more credits are being returned to a sending device from a receiving device. Based on the number of credits available, the sending device determines whether to send device or wait until more credits are returned. The amount of buffer space used by the receiver to store the packet is determined by the number of transfer cycles used to receive the packet, not the number of flits comprising the packet. This is enabled by having the buffer be as wide as the bus. The receiver returns credits to the sender based on the number of buffer rows used to store the received packet, not the number of flits comprising the packet.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Tony Brewer

Patent number: 11831538Abstract: Systems and methods for routing packet data for transmission via a plurality of communication links are described. A method may include dividing a usage cycle for the plurality of communication links into a plurality of timeslots. Packet data traffic demands for the packet data for transmission via the plurality of communication links may be received. Based on a mixed integer linear programming model, an allocation of the packet data traffic demands to the plurality of communication links during the usage cycle may be determined using binary constraints of the mixed integer linear programming model. The binary constraints may prioritize respective subsets of the plurality of timeslots for at least some of the plurality of communication links. For each of the plurality of timeslots, an allocation of the packet data traffic demands to each of the plurality of communication links may be determined using the mixed integer linear programming model.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rachee Singh, Sharad Agarwal, Matt Calder, Paramvir Bahl

Patent number: 11811661Abstract: In a secure network where the network characteristics are not known, a call admission control algorithm and a preemption control algorithm based on a destination node informing the source node of the observed carried traffic are used to regulate the amount of traffic that needs to be preempted by the source. The amount of traffic that needs to be preempted is based on the carried traffic measured at the destination node. The traffic to be preempted is based on the priority of the traffic, where the lowest priority traffic is the first to be preempted until the amount of traffic preempted is sufficient to allow the remaining traffic to pass through the network without congestion.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Nytell Software LLCInventors: Kirk Chang, Gi Tae Kim, John Unger, John Sucec, Sunil Samtani

Patent number: 11812385Abstract: An apparatus for implementing power control for a radio device that has multiple radio transceivers operating in different bands, including sub-bands of a single frequency band. The device implements a power control protocol for communications between the device and a similar peer device. The device sets-up the power control protocol by generating a request to use one of the multiple bands to signal power control operations, and to use another one of the multiple bands to transfer data between the device and the peer device. The device sends the request to the peer device and receives a response. Based on the response, the device identifies a control channel band and a data channel band from among the multiple bands.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Laurent Cariou, Yaron Alpert, Robert J.

Patent number: 11811627Abstract: A network monitoring device may receive, from a mediation device, flow-tap content data (generated by the mediation device based on current and/or previous investigation reports associated with flow tapping) that needs to be monitored. The network monitoring device may map the content data to a flow-tap content destination address of a content destination device in an entry of a flow-tap content filter. The network monitoring device may analyze, using the flow-tap content filter, network traffic of the network to detect a traffic flow that includes the content data. The network monitoring device may generate, based on successfully detecting a traffic flow that includes the content data, a traffic flow copy and may provide the traffic flow copy to the flow-tap content destination address, wherein the traffic flow copy is to be accessible to the content destination device to enable a context analysis of the content data.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Juniper Network, Inc.Inventor: Sheeja J S
