Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes receiving an encoded video frame, decompressing the received encoded video frame, extracting a first quantization parameter (QP) from the decompressed video frame, and acquiring a delta QP based on the first QP. The method also includes acquiring a second QP based on the delta QP and the first QP, compressing the decompressed video frame based on the second QP, and providing the compressed video frame. The first QP corresponds to quantization settings originally used for compressing the encoded video frame. And the second QP corresponds to quantization settings for compressing the decompressed video frame.
Abstract:
Methods for enabling assured records using fine grained auditing of virtual private network traffic include establishing, by an appliance, a transport layer virtual private network connection with a client operated by a user; receiving, by the appliance via the connection, a request from the client identifying a resource; determining, by the appliance, the request meets at least one security condition; transmitting, by the appliance to an audit log, a record of the request; receiving, by the appliance from the audit log, a confirmation that the record was logged; and granting, responsive to the received confirmation, access to the identified resource. Security conditions may identify at least one user, at least one application, a network or group of networks, and one or more resources. Corresponding systems are also described.
Abstract:
A method for buffering SSL handshake messages prior to computing a message digest for the SSL handshake includes: conducting, by an appliance with a client, an SSL handshake, the SSL handshake comprising a plurality of SSL handshake messages; storing, by the appliance, the plurality of SSL handshake messages; providing, by the appliance to a message digest computing device in response to receiving a client finish message corresponding to the SSL handshake, the plurality of SSL handshake messages; receiving, by the appliance from the message digest computing device, a message digest corresponding to the provided messages; determining by the appliance, the message digest matches a message digest included in the SSL client finish message; and completing, by the appliance with the client, the SSL handshake. Corresponding systems are also described.
Abstract:
The SNMP cache of the present solution supports multi-core/multi-node environment by recalculating the SNMP ordering of the entities in the response from multiple cores/nodes at insertion time. The most significant gain is achieved by prefetching or augmenting the cache, wherein while requesting an entity and its stat information, next few entities in SNMP order are requested from the owner processes. SNMP Management systems extensively utilize repeated GETNEXT (such as via a SNMP WALK) and few next responses may be served from the cache directly. Further performance improvements are obtained by introducing another level of cache on top of the existing cache. This auxiliary cache ensures a high hit ratio for repeated SNMP GETNEXT request (SNMP WALK operation) by caching last accessed entity within the main cache. This auxiliary cache also aids in insertion in the larger main cache by maintaining pointers to last accessed entity before the main cache miss. Cache implements other features like new stat inclusion/updating of the already cached entity.
Abstract:
A mechanism for detecting events generated from a device in communication with a client system and the re-direction of those events to a server system over a network using a presentation-level protocol is disclosed. Plug and play events are detected at the client system, bound to a virtual connection for a user session, and re-directed for handling to a server-based system using the presentation-level protocol. The server-based system maps the device to the user session. Applications which have registered a callback with the session are informed and generate an appropriate message which is transmitted to the device in communication with the client system via a specified virtual communication connection in the user session.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for establishing trust in certificates based on remote user sessions are described herein. A computing device may establish, via a gateway, one or more remote user sessions of virtualized application, cloud-based applications, and/or remote desktops. The computing device may initiate an establishment process for a secure connection with a secure server. The computing device may, as part of the establishment process, may receive a certificate for the secure server. The computing device may locally determine whether the certificate is trusted. If the certificate is not trusted, the computing device may select a remote user session to perform a remote attempt for determining trust in the certificate. The computing device may send the certificate to the selected remote user session and may receive data indicating a result of the remote attempt. The computing device may determine whether the certificate is trusted by the remote attempt.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing notifications of changes made in a database table to a remote application is presented. The system and methods manage change notification of a table in a database by notifying an application registered to receive notifications of changes made to a database table. A database manager executing on a device may receive a request to register an application to be notified when a first table of a plurality of tables in a database is changed. The database manager may establish a notification table comprising fields of the first table and one or more additional fields for managing notification. The database manager may establish a trigger on the first table to invoke a trigger procedure to copy a changed row of the first table to the notification table. The database manager may create a rule for the notification table to notify registered applications when a new row is inserted into the notification table.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing congestion control to a transport control protocol implementation are described. A device detects that there is a congestion event on a transport control protocol (TCP) connection of the device. The device determines that a bandwidth estimate is lower than half a current value of a slow start threshold for the TCP connection. In response to the determination, the device changes the slow start threshold to half of the current value of the slow start threshold for the TCP connection. The bandwidth estimate can be the product of the eligible rate estimate and the minimum round trip time. In some implementations, the transport control protocol implementation is a TCP Westwood implementation.
