Patent number: 12182428Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for determining data placement based on packet metadata are disclosed. A system includes a traffic analyzer that determines data placement across connected devices based on observed values of the metadata fields in actively exchanged packets across a plurality of protocol types. In one implementation, the protocol that is supported by the system is the compute express link (CXL) protocol.

Patent number: 11398985Abstract: Datalink frames or networking packets contain protocol information in the header and optionally in the trailer of a frame or a packet. We are proposing a method in which part of or all of the protocol information corresponding to a frame or a packet is transmitted separately in another datalink frame. The “Separately Transmitted Protocol Information” is referred to as STPI. The STPI contains enough protocol information to identify the next hop node or port. STPI can be used avoid network congestion and improve link efficiency. Preferably, there will be one datalink frame or network packet corresponding to each STPI, containing the data and the rest of the protocol information and this frame/packet is referred to as DFoNP. The creation of STPI and DFoNP is done by the originator of the frame or packet such as an operating system.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Inventors: George Madathilparambil George, Susan George, Mammen Thomas

Patent number: 11340950Abstract: A service band management system includes management device(s) coupled to a workload provisioning infrastructure. The management device(s) identify a first workload provisioning system in a workload provisioning infrastructure, and determine its first workload provisioning capability. Based on the first workload provisioning capability, the management device(s) map the first workload provisioning system to a first service band, and provision a workload using the first workload provisioning system based on the first service band satisfying a workload requirement for the workload. Subsequently, the management device(s) identify that a second workload provisioning system has been added to the workload provisioning infrastructure, and determine its second workload provisioning capability.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Ravikanth Chaganti, Dharmesh M.

Patent number: 11330463Abstract: An invention relates to methods for transmitting a buffer status report (BSR) in a mobile communication system, more particularly to the definition of rules for triggering, generating and transmitting BSRs. The invention also relates to a data transmission method utilizing new rules to decide data of which radio bearers is transmitted within a given transmission time interval. Moreover, the invention relates to scheduling method for radio resources that is taking into account additional scheduling-relevant information from the buffer status reporting and/or data transmission method. To avoid unnecessary grants from the network and to suggest an advanced handling of data transmissions the invention suggests a buffer status reporting and data transmission schemes that take into account the scheduling mode of data of radio bearers pending for transmission to decide whether to report on it in a buffer status report, respectively, whether to multiplex the data to a transport block for transmission.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Corporation of AmericaInventors: Martin Feuersaenger, Joachim Loehr, Christian Wengerter

Patent number: 11323373Abstract: Local management of data stream throttling in data movement operations, such as secondary-copy operations in a storage management system, is disclosed. A local throttling manager may interoperate with co-resident data agents and/or a media agent executing on any given local computing device, whether a client computing device or a secondary storage computing device. The local throttling manager may allocate and manage the available bandwidth for various jobs and their constituent data streams—across the data agents and/or media agent. Bandwidth is allocated and re-allocated to data streams used by ongoing jobs, in response to new jobs starting and old jobs completing, without having to pause and restart ongoing jobs to accommodate bandwidth adjustments. The illustrative embodiment also provides local users with a measure of control over data streams—to suspend, pause, and/or resume them—independently from the centralized storage manager that manages the overall storage system.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventor: Vijayan Thanasekaran
