Abstract:
A traffic management device (TMD), system, and processor-readable storage medium directed towards automatically configuring an AAA proxy device (also referred to herein as “the proxy”) to load-balance AAA request messages across a plurality of AAA server devices. In one embodiment the proxy receives an AAA handshake message from an AAA client device. The proxy forwards the handshake message to each of the plurality of server devices and, in reply, receives an AAA handshake response message from each of the plurality of server devices. The proxy extracts attributes from each of the handshake response messages and automatically configures itself based on the extracted attributes. The proxy then load-balances, modifies and/or routes subsequently received AAA request messages based on the extracted attributes.
Abstract:
A system, method, and computer-readable medium for point of presence (POP) based traffic surge detection and mitigation are provided. The system detects a traffic surge for a target group of resources directed at a source POP based on the target group's rank shifts and volume changes among recent time intervals. The system mitigates the detected traffic surge by identifying destination POPs with spare capacity and routing at least a portion of incoming requests for the target group of resources to the destination POPs in accordance with their spare capacities.
Abstract:
A device may monitor a status of a first data center of a group of data centers. The device may determine, based on the status of the first data center, to cause a failover from the first data center to a second data center. The device may cause a domain name server (DNS) configuration, associated with an external DNS, to be and a set of DNS entries, associated with an internal DNS, to be altered to cause a portion of the network traffic, respectively associated with a first network and a second network of the plurality of networks, to be routed the second data center. The device may cause a load balancer configuration to be altered to cause a portion of the network traffic associated with a third network of the plurality of networks to be redirected from the first data center to the second data center.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for managing SSL session persistence and reuse in a multi-core system. A first core may indicate that an SSL session established by the first core is non-resumable. Responsive to the indication, the core may set an indicator at a location in memory accessible by each core of the multi-core system, the indicator indicating that the SSL session is non-resumable. A second core of the multi-core system may receive a request to reuse the SSL session. The request may include a session identifier of the SSL session. In addition, the session identifier may identify the first core as an establisher of the SSL session. The second core can identify from encoding of the session identifier whether the second core is not the establisher of the SSL session. Responsive to the identification, the second core may determine whether to resume the SSL session.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for APN-based DNS query resolution for wireless data networks are disclosed. Some implementations include receiving a domain name system (DNS) query for a domain name from a device having a source IP address, the DNS query being associated with an access point name, determining whether the source IP address is within a predetermined IP address range, upon determining the source IP address is within the predetermined IP address range, updating the DNS query to include an updated domain name unique to the predetermined IP address range, forwarding the updated DNS query to a DNS server for resolution, receiving an IP address corresponding to the updated DNS query from the DNS server, the IP address being different from an IP address associated with the DNS query, and providing the device with the IP address corresponding to the updated DNS query.
Abstract:
A DNS server receives, from a client device, a DNS query for a resource record type at a domain name. The DNS server determines that the resource record type does not exist at the domain name and generates an answer that indicates that the queried resource record type does not exist at the domain name and also indicates that a plurality of other resource record types exist at the domain name regardless of whether those plurality of other resource record types actually exist at the domain name. The DNS server transmits the generated answer to the client device.
Abstract:
A system, method and computer-readable medium for request routing. A client request processing a resource identifier for requested content transmits a first DNS query to a content delivery network service provider. The content delivery network service provider transmits an alternative resource identifier in response to the client computing device DNS query. The client computing device then issues a second DNS query to the same content delivery network service provider. The content delivery network service provider can then either resolve the second DNS query with an IP address of a cache component or transmit another alternative resource identifier that will resolve to the content delivery network service provider. The process can repeat with the content delivery network service provider's network until a DNS server resolves a DNS query from the client computing device.
Abstract:
A network system for allocating service nodes to a user terminal to login a network may comprises a gateway node, a plurality of service nodes, a sampling terminal, a gateway node, and a login node. The system may receive service nodes information of the plurality of service nodes from the sampling terminal; obtain from the sampling terminal network quality sampling data associating with each of the plurality of service nodes; identify the gateway node corresponding to the sampling terminal; select a plurality of candidate service nodes from the plurality of service nodes based on the network quality sampling data; obtain network quality parameters between each of the plurality of candidate service node and the gateway node; select a target service node from the plurality of candidate service nodes based on the network quality sampling data and the candidate node network quality parameters; and allocate the target service node to the gateway node.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for facilitating access to a remote cloud service via a cloud controller for a distributed filesystem. Two or more cloud controllers collectively manage distributed filesystem data that is stored in the cloud storage systems; the cloud controllers ensure data consistency for the stored data, and each cloud controller caches portions of the distributed filesystem. During operation, a cloud controller detects a request from a co-located client to access a network address that is in the same subnet of their local network. The cloud controller determines that the network address is associated with the remote cloud service (which executes in a cloud storage environment) and forwards the request to the remote cloud service.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a method comprises an operation of determining whether an ingress control message is locally terminated control traffic on a digital device prior to the ingress control message being forwarded to a hardware processor of the digital device for processing. A priority is assigned to the ingress control message based on information within the ingress control message, if the ingress control message is determined to be locally terminated control logic.
