  • Patent number: 12132714
    Abstract: Systems are methods are provided for implementing load balancing of IPsec security associations (SAs) SAs between different heterogeneous cores, for example in a multiple controller systems. The balancing of IPsec SAs are performed using software implementations of IPsec offloading and/or hardware implementations of IPsec offloading. By balancing the processing functions related to orchestration of IPsec SAs between hardware (e.g., IPsec hardware accelerator) and software (e.g., IPsec software accelerator), the methods realize increased optimization, improved user experience, and enhanced product performance in networks using IPsec. For example, an IPsec session is initiated, and it is determined whether a resource limitation for a hardware-based IPsec accelerator has been reached. If the limitation for the hardware-based IPsec accelerator has been reached, processing for the IPsec SA for the initiated IPsec session is offloaded to a software-based IPsec accelerator.

  • Patent number: 11573837
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, system and computer program product for service retention in a computing environment. According to the method, a deprovision request for deprovisioning a target service instance provisioned in a computing environment is received. In response to the deprovision request, a retention policy associated with the target service instance is determined. The retention policy indicates an action to be applied on the target service instance. The action causes a resource usage level of the target service instance to reduce. Based on the retention policy, the target service instance is modified to obtain a retention service instance provisioned in the computing environment for use in restoration of the target service instance.

  • Patent number: 11330152
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an image data transmission apparatus. The lock confirmation circuit receives an original signal having an original pulse width from the image data reception apparatus to generate an output signal. The image data transmission circuit determines that the image data reception apparatus locks a transmission frequency when an output pulse width is larger than a pulse threshold value to perform a synchronous image data transmission. The lock confirmation circuit sets the output pulse width to be a lengthened pulse width when a difference between the original pulse width and the pulse threshold value is smaller than a predetermined value and the original pulse width is not smaller than the pulse threshold value. The lock confirmation circuit sets the output pulse width to be a shortened pulse width when the difference is smaller than the predetermined value and the original pulse width is smaller than the pulse threshold value.
