  • Patent number: 11621914
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for maintaining processing unit core affinity for fragmented packets. In one example, a service physical interface card (PIC) implementing a service plane of a network device receives fragmented and/or non-fragmented packet data for a traffic flow. The service PIC comprises at least one processing unit comprising multiple cores. A routing engine operating in a control plane of the network device defines one or more core groups comprising a subset of the cores. The routing engine assigns the traffic flow to a core group and a forwarding engine operating in a forwarding plane of the network device forwards the packet data for the traffic flow to the assigned core group. A core of the assigned core group applies a network service to the fragmented and/or non-fragmented packet data for the traffic flow, and the forwarding engine forwards the packet data for the traffic flow toward a destination.

  • Patent number: 11050639
    Abstract: Described herein are a system and techniques for increasing efficiency of communications and quality of a user's experience by implementing dynamic time-out intervals. When a service slows due to demand, malfunction on the server side, or local constraints near the client such as local wireless network connectivity, a client-side time-out interval can be dynamically increased so that clients are less likely to depart before receiving requested services. A server that cannot provide requested services can indicate that a client-side time-out interval should be zero so that clients do not wait on a request that will not be fulfilled. A server seeing service requests but few completions or satisfied service requests can indicate different time-out intervals to different clients, observe which intervals have higher completion success rates and then indicate revised time-out intervals accordingly.

  • Patent number: 10757364
    Abstract: A videoconferencing system has a videoconferencing unit that use portable devices as peripherals for the system. The portable devices obtain near-end audio and send the audio to the videoconferencing unit via a wireless connection. In turn, the videoconferencing unit sends the near-end audio from the loudest portable device along with near-end video to the far-end. The portable devices can control the videoconferencing unit and can initially establish the videoconference by connecting with the far-end and then transferring operations to the videoconferencing unit. To deal with acoustic coupling between the unit's loudspeaker and the portable device's microphone, the unit uses an echo canceller that is compensated for differences in the clocks used in the A/D and D/A converters of the loudspeaker and microphone.

  • Patent number: 10554636
    Abstract: A lightweight network protocol provides mutual authentication and encryption of a communication channel in environments where the amount of computing resources available to the networked devices is constrained. When a new device is added to a network, the device contacts a registration service and provides information that is published via a device directory. The network entity locates the device via information provided by the device directory, and establishes an encrypted network connection with the device. A shared secret is established between the device and the network entity using a key-exchange protocol. Consecutive messages that are sent or received are encrypted or decrypted with a sequence of cryptographic keys generated based at least in part on the shared secret. Key-exchange parameters are added to message exchanges between the device and the network entity to facilitate regenerating the shared secret.
