  • Patent number: 11929945
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance network traffic management. In one implementation, a first host identifies a packet to be transferred from a first virtual machine on the first host to a second virtual machine on a second host. In response to identifying the packet, the first host identifies a source logical port for the first virtual machine, and transferring a communication to the second host, wherein the communication encapsulates the data packet and the source logical port. Once the packet is received by the second host, the second host may use the source logical port to determine a forwarding action for the packet.

  • Patent number: 11930249
    Abstract: A network communications node includes a local processor, a first remote physical device (RPD), and at least a second RPD all contained in a node housing. The local processor receives a first signal on a logical link control layer and transforms it to a second signal on a medium access control (MAC) layer. The first and second RPDs receive the second signal and respectively convert it to third and fourth signals on a physical layer. The two RPDs implement different communication protocols. Amplification for the RPDs occurs mostly outside the node housing. The node is upgraded by software patching the local processor or by physically swapping one or more of the RPDs.

  • Patent number: 11924738
    Abstract: Techniques for managing connections in a mesh network that includes multiple provisioners are described. In an example, a computer system receives, from a first device set up as a first provisioner in the mesh network, a first identifier of a third device of the mesh network. The computer system also receives, from a second device set up as a second provisioner in the mesh network, the first identifier of the third device. The computer system generates an association between the third device and the first device based at least in part on a determination that the third device is to be reached exclusively via the first device. The computer system also generates a message about an action to be performed by the third device and sends, based at least in part on the association, the message to the first device.

  • Patent number: 11831673
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for an orchestrator device associated with a scrubbing environment of a telecommunications network that receives one or more announced routing protocol advertisements from a customer device under an attack. In response to receiving the announcement, the orchestrator may configure one or more scrubbing devices of the network to begin providing the scrubbing service to packets matching the received routing announcement. A scrubbing service state for the customer may also be obtained or determined by the orchestrator. With the received route announcement and the customer profile and state information, the orchestrator may provide instructions to configure the scrubbing devices of the network based on the received information to dynamically automate scrubbing techniques without the need for a network administrator to manually configure the scrubbing environment or devices.

  • Patent number: 11824664
    Abstract: A video encoding device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) may transmit an encoded frame with a frame sequence number using a transmission protocol. The video encoding device, an application on the video encoding device, and/or a protocol layer on the encoding device may detect a packet loss by receiving an error notification. The packet loss may be detected at the MAC layer. The packet loss may be signaled using spoofed packets, such as a spoofed NAM packet, a spoofed XR packet, or a spoofed ACK packet. A lost packet may be retransmitted at the MAC layer (e.g., by the encoding device or another device on the wireless path). Packet loss detection may be performed in uplink operations and/or downlink operations, and/or may be performed in video gaining applications via the cloud. The video encoding device may generate and send a second encoded frame based on the error notification.

  • Patent number: 11825014
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method includes receiving, at a first mobile compute device of a user, a service request. Curated service information associated with the service request is retrieved in response to the user input, and displayed via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the first mobile compute device. A user selection of a subset of the curated service information is received via the GUI, and a phone number is received in response to the user populating a phone number field of the GUI. A send icon is displayed via the GUI in response to receiving at least one of the selection or the phone number. In response to a user selecting the send icon, a communication with the subset of service information is sent to a second mobile compute device having the phone number and associated with a service recipient, without including any self-identifying information associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 11814010
    Abstract: The present systems, devices, and methods relate to managing shared vehicle access. Authorization policies are stored at a network device, and are provided to vehicle devices. Authorization policies each include an authentication scheme, a list of permitted vehicle operations, and a list of requirements to perform vehicle operations. In this way, whether even if a user is authenticated to access a vehicle, vehicle access is controlled based one whether the user is permitted to perform vehicle operations, and whether requirements are met to perform vehicle operations. This provides a flexible and roust vehicle access system. Authorization Policies are distributed to vehicle device in an Access Configuration, which can be updated.

  • Patent number: 11811850
    Abstract: A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid).

  • Patent number: 11784967
    Abstract: Techniques implemented by an IP address management (IPAM) system for monitoring the usage of IP addresses in networks of computing resources and automatically notifying networking devices when IP address usage has changed. The IPAM system may create pools of IP addresses (e.g., address groups), and map those pools to prefix lists that are distributed to the networking devices. The IPAM system may monitor changes in IP address usage by resources in the networks (e.g., allocations and releases of IP addresses), update the pools that are affected by the changes, carry those changes through to the appropriate prefix lists, and propagate updated prefix lists to the networking devices (e.g., firewall devices, routing devices, etc.). In this way, the IPAM system may automatically identify and apply IP address changes to prefix lists that are used for networking operations in the networks.
