Abstract: A log message classifier employs machine learning for identifying a corresponding parser for interpreting the incoming log message and for retraining a classification logic model processing the incoming log messages. Voluminous log messages generate a large amount of data, typically in a text form. Data fields are parseable from the message by a parser that knows a format of the message. The classification logic is trained by a set of messages having a known format for defining groups of messages recognizable by a corresponding parser. The classification logic is defined by a random forest that outputs a corresponding group and confidence value for each incoming message. Groups may be split to define new groups based on a recurring matching tail (latter portion) of the incoming messages. A trend of decreased confidence scores triggers a periodic retraining of the random forest, and may also generate an alert to operators.

Consequently, a client on a peer requesting to download the content can download the content from the peers and the virtual peer based on a file sharing protocol, such as BitTorrent.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a congestion control method and a related device. A Transmission Control Protocol offload engine TOE sends a congestion control notification to a central processing unit CPU, where the congestion control notification instructs the CPU to obtain a target parameter, and the target parameter is used by the CPU to generate a congestion control calculation result. The TOE obtains the congestion control calculation result returned by the CPU, where the congestion control calculation result includes a congestion control window value. The TOE sends a packet based on the congestion control window value. In this application, the TOE and the CPU implement congestion control together. When a new congestion control algorithm emerges, the new congestion control algorithm may be applied without changing a structure of the TOE. Therefore, in this application, an upgrade period of the congestion control algorithm can be shortened, and flexibility can be improved.

Abstract: The disclosed serverless security access control system leverages static analysis information about application code and runtime information to create and assign on-the-fly transient serverless function roles. A default role can be initially assigned to serverless functions of the application. The default role allows the function to communicate with a security access broker. The access broker accesses least privilege information about an invoked serverless function and then creates and assigns a transient role to the serverless function based on that information. The short life of the role reduces and possibly eliminates the security risk of an over-permissive role. The access broker can update the least privilege information based on updated analysis of the application code and runtime information to allow flexibility and adaptation over executions.
