  • Patent number: 11665242
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that allows a first data compute node (DCN) to forward outgoing traffic to a second DCN directly in spite of receiving the incoming traffic from the second DCN through a load balancer. That is, the return traffic's network path from the first DCN (e.g., a server machine) to the second DCN (e.g., a client machine) bypasses the load balancer, even though a request that initiated the return traffic is received through the load balancer. The load balancer receives a connection session request from a client machine to connect to a server. It identifies a set of parameters for the connection session and after selecting a server for the connection, passes the identified set of parameters to a host machine that executes the server. The server establishes the connection session directly with the client machine based on the identified set of parameters.

  • Patent number: 11652742
    Abstract: Ghost routing is a network verification technique that uses a portion of a production network itself to verify the impact of potential network changes. Ghost routing logically partitions the production network into a main network and a ghost network. The main network handles live traffic while the ghost network handles traffic generated for diagnostic purposes. The ghost network may have a network topology identical to the production network and may use the same hardware and software as the production network. An operator may implement a network configuration change on the ghost network and then use verification tools to verify that the network configuration change on the ghost network does not result in bugs. Verifying on the ghost network may not affect the main network. If the network operator verifies the network configuration change on the ghost network, the network operator may implement the network configuration change on the main network.

  • Patent number: 11645130
    Abstract: A resource manager (RM) instance is associated with each transaction processing system (TPS) member, of a TPS group. Each RM instance monitors performance of the associated TPS member. If a TPS member becomes unavailable for any reason (a failing TPS), the associated RM instance broadcasts status of the failing TPS to RMs associated “surviving” members of the group. RM instances associated with surviving members initiate a series of actions that reduce the resources used by the surviving TPS members. Consequently, the surviving TPS members are better able to process the additional workload imposed on them due to the unavailability of the failing TPS. Once the failing TPS is brought back online and made available again (or a replacement TPS is brought online), RM instances associated with the surviving members perform actions to undo the resource usage reduction tasks, and the TPS group returns to a nominal configuration.

  • Patent number: 11582235
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a local controller on a set of host computers that reduce the volume of data that is communicated between the server set and the set of host computers. The local controller executing on a particular host computer, in some embodiments, receives a portion of the namespace including only the policies (e.g., opcode) that are relevant to API-authorization processing for the applications executing on the particular host computer provided by a local agent executing on the computer to authorize the API requests based on policies and parameters. The local controller analyzes the received policies (e.g., policy opcodes) and identifies the parameters (e.g. operands), or parameter types, needed for API-authorization processing (e.g., evaluating the policy opcode upon receiving a particular API request) by the local agent. In some embodiments, the local controller performs this analysis for each updated set of policies (e.g., policy opcodes).
