    Abstract: A first machine identifies, from among a non-static collection of machines, a respective set of forward contacts that comprises a set of machines. The set of forward contacts are distributed along the ordered sequence in the forward direction away from the respective machine in an order of increasing similarity between the respective channel number assigned to the first machine and a respective channel number assigned to each of the set of forward contacts. The first machine establishes a respective direct communication channel between the first machine and each of the set of forward contacts. The first machine sends a first query to a first forward contact and sends collected answers for the first query to at least a second forward contact that has a greater similarity to the first machine based on the respective channel numbers of the first machine and the first and second forward contacts.

    Abstract: An application mapping procedure obtains and aggregates application mapping information from a plurality of machines in a distributed system. A first layer of application mapping information is generated, identifying application entry points, each comprising a machine and a process executed by the identified machine. An application map is initialized with the first layer of application mapping information. A plurality of iterations of a predefined map gathering operation are performed, each iteration adding a layer of application mapping information to the application map, thereby producing an application map of the distributed processing of one or more respective applications. Each iteration sends queries, via one or more linear communication orbits, to machines in the distributed system, and obtains from the machines information identifying entities that have participated in predefined communications with entities identified in a most recently generated or added layer of application mapping information.

    Abstract: Decoupling of a first machine from a plurality of machines in a network is disclosed. Each machine has a machine identifier. The plurality of machines are organized into a linearly ordered sequence in accordance with a predefined order of the machine identifiers. The first machine is configured to receive a query from a preceding machine and propagate the query to a succeeding machine in the linearly ordered sequence. Prior to decoupling from the network, the first machine informs respective presence of a first subset of machines to a second subset of machines that are not overlapping with the first subset of machines. The first subset of machines includes a machine having a lower machine identifier relative to the machine identifier of the first machine, and the second subset of machines includes a machine having a higher machine identifier relative to the machine identifier of the first machine.

    Abstract: A method of updating software, performed by respective machines in a linear communication orbit includes, at a local server executed by a respective machine, receiving, via the linear communication orbit, update metadata. At an update module executed by the respective machine, an update module evaluates software version information using the update metadata to determine a set of one or more updates to be applied to one or more software programs. A patch module sends, via the linear communication orbit, requests for one or more software update files corresponding to the set of one or more updates, and receives the one or more software update files corresponding to the set of one or more updates. The update module then updates the one or more of the software programs by applying the received one or more software update files to the one or more of the software programs.

    Abstract: This application is directed to an integrity monitoring method performed at a computational machine in a linear communication orbit. The computational machine receives a watch list through the linear communication orbit. The watch list identifies objects for which events are to be monitored at the computational machine. While a plurality of events are occurring locally at the computational machine, the computational machine identifies the plurality of events in real-time. The identified events include events for the objects identified by the watch list, and event information for these identified events is stored in a local database of the computational machine. In response to an integrity reporting request received through the linear communication orbit, the computational machine identifies event information for at least some of the objects identified by the watch list in the local database, and returns the identified event information to a server system through the linear communication orbit.

    Abstract: A data caching and distribution method, performed by a plurality of in a linear communication orbit, includes generating a data request by a first machine to request specific data, and passing the data request along a data request path that tracks the linear communication orbit until the request is received at a second machine, in the linear communication orbit, that returns the specific data in response to the data request. The method includes, at a third machine between the second machine and the first machine in the linear communication orbit, conditionally storing the specific data in a local cache of the third machine according to a data caching method.
