The determined patterns can be used to predict classifications of future traffic flows with similar key information. In this way, data traffic flows can be classified and steered in a network based on limited information available in a first packet.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventor: David Anthony Hughes

Patent number: 11558292Abstract: Techniques for utilizing Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controllers and network border leaf nodes of respective cloud computing networks to configure a data transmission route for a multicast group. Each border leaf node may maintain a respective external sources database, including a number of records indicating associations between a multicast data source, one or more respective border leaf nodes disposed in the same network as the multicast data source, and network capability information. A border leaf node, disposed in the same network as a multicast data source, may broadcast a local source discovery message to all border leaf nodes in remote networks to which it is communicatively coupled. A border leaf node may also communicate network capability information associated with one or more remote networks to a local SDN controller. The SDN controller may utilize the network capability information to configure a data transmission route to one or more destination nodes.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Francesco Meo, Stig Ingvar Venaas, Roshan Lal, Rishi Chhibber, Ravinder Vissapragada

Patent number: 11558405Abstract: This disclosure is related to methods and apparatus used to for preventing malicious content from reaching a destination via a dynamic analysis engine may operate in real-time when packetized data is received. Data packets sent from a source computer may be received and be forwarded to an analysis computer that may monitor actions performed by executable program code included within the set of data packets when making determinations regarding whether the data packet set should be classified as malware. In certain instances all but a last data packet of the data packet set may also be sent to the destination computer while the analysis computer executes and monitors the program code included in the data packet set. In instances when the analysis computer identifies that the data packet set does include malware, the malware may be blocked from reaching the destination computer by not sending the last data packet to the destination computer.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: SonicWALL Inc.Inventors: Senthil Cheetancheri, Alex Dubrovsky, Sachin Holagi

Patent number: 11552875Abstract: From among a U-plane and a C-plane, the U-plane is installed in a first user site which has a base station, and the C-plane is installed in a C-plane site (any site that is not a user site). A system sets a U-plane inter-site path which is an inter-site communication path that connects a first user site with a second user site via a wide area network, and a C-plane inter-site path which is an inter-site communication path that connects a C-plane site with the first user site via the wide area network. In addition, the system sets an in-site communication path which is a communication path within the first user site and which connects to an inter-site communication path. A U-plane inter-site path is an inter-site communication path via which data is transmitted or received by a U-plane. A C-plane inter-site path is an inter-site communication path via which a signal is transmitted or received by a C-plane.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Takase, Tomoyuki Iijima, Junnosuke Wakai, Satoru Ishikawa, Takaaki Suzuki

Patent number: 11522813Abstract: A stateful packet processing system includes: a first stateful stage including a first state table and a first finite state machine (“FSM”) table; and a second stateful stage including a second state table and a second FSM table. The system performs a distribution operation defining when a flow is processed by the first and/or the second stateful stage. The first and/or second FSM table is extended with states and transitions that support the distribution operation. The first and/or second stateful stage executes an evaluation operation that executes the distribution operation. The evaluation operation provides a criterion for moving a particular flow from one of the first or second stateful stage to the other stateful stage. The first and second stateful stages are included in a software-defined networking (“SDN”) switch. The distribution operation operates within defined capabilities of a software and/or hardware pipeline of the SDN switch.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Roberto Bifulco, Anton Matsiuk

Patent number: 11510269Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for signaling between an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD that support multi-link communication in a wireless local area network (WLAN). In some implementations, a multi-link association may include a first link (referred to as an anchor link) and one or more other links (referred to as auxiliary links). The signaling may include control information to activate or deactivate auxiliary links dynamically based on communication load, throughput requirements, or quality of service (QoS). The signaling also may include requests, acknowledgments, or negotiation regarding multi-link connections.
