Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for managing application delivery in a network. A device intermediary to a client and one or more servers that provide a plurality of applications, receives a request from the client to access a first application of the plurality of applications. The device holds the request and retrieves, while holding the request, configuration information for an instance of the first application from a configuration repository. The device configures a virtual internet protocol (“VIP”) server using the configuration information for the instance of the first application. The device processes the request via the VIP server.
Abstract:
The present application is directed towards ASDR table contract renewal. In some embodiments, a core may cache an ASDR table entry received from an owner core such that when the entry is needed again the core does not need to re-request the entry from the owner core. As storing a cached copy of the entry allows the non-owner core to use an ASDR table entry without requesting the entry from the owner core, the owner core may be unaware of an ASDR table entry's use by a non-owner core. To ensure the owner core keeps the ASDR table entry alive, which the non-owner core has cached, the non-owner core may perform contract renewal for each of its recently used cached entries. The contract renewal method may include sending a message to the owner core that indicates which cached ASDR table entries the non-owner core has recently used or accessed. Responsive to receiving the message the owner core may reset a timeout period associated with the ASDR table entry.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents systems and methods for maintaining original source and destination IP addresses of a request while performing intermediary cache redirection. An intermediary receives a request from a client destined to a server identifying a client IP address as a source IP address and a server IP address as a destination IP address. The intermediary transmits the request to a cache server, the request maintaining original IP addresses and identifying a MAC address of the cache server as the destination MAC address. The intermediary receives the request from the cache server responsive to a cache miss, the received request maintaining the original source and destination IP addresses. The intermediary identifying that the third request is coming from the cache server via one or more data link layer properties of the third transport layer connection. The intermediary transmits to the server the request identifying the client IP address as the source IP address and the server IP address as the destination IP address.
Abstract:
A method for an appliance to switch handling of transport layer connection requests from a first virtual server of the appliance managing a first plurality of services to a second virtual server of the appliance managing a second plurality of services upon exceeding, by the first virtual server, a maximum connection threshold determined dynamically from a status of the first plurality of services The appliance establishes a predetermined threshold identifying a maximum active transport layer connection capacity for the first virtual server that comprising a sum of a predetermined connection capacity for each of the plurality of services. The appliance determines via monitoring that the status of a service of the plurality of services indicates the service is not available and adjusts the predetermined threshold to comprise the sum of the predetermined connection capacity for each of the plurality of services having a status of available.
