    摘要: Introduced here are network visibility platforms having total processing capacity that can be dynamically varied in response to determining how much network traffic is currently under consideration. A visibility platform can include one or more network appliances, each of which includes at least one instance of an application configured to process data packets. Rather than forward all traffic to a single application instance for processing, the traffic can instead be distributed amongst a pool of application instances to collectively ensure that no data packets are dropped due to over-congestion. Moreover, the visibility platform can be designed such that application instances are elastically added/removed, as necessary, based on the volume of traffic currently under consideration.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for flexibly and efficiently managing network traffic for a web flow utilizing network access tokens. For example, the disclosed systems facilitate smooth, uninterrupted navigation through various webpages of a web flow (e.g., from an entry point to an exit point) by assigning network access tokens to client devices according to network capacity of servers hosting the web flow. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems permit access to, and navigation within various webpages within, the web flow for the client devices with network access tokens while preventing other client devices from accessing the web flow.

    摘要: A method for analyzing a pair of domain name system (DNS) packets, the method comprising: extracting a portion of a request DNS packet to obtain extracted request DNS information, wherein the extracted request DNS information comprises a first timestamp generated by the edge network device, obtaining a response DNS packet, extracting at least a portion of the response DNS packet to obtain extracted response DNS information, wherein the extracted response DNS information comprises a second timestamp generated by the edge network device, after the obtaining, processing the extracted request DNS information and extracted response DNS information to obtain processed information, wherein the processed information comprises a roundtrip time derived from the first timestamp and the second timestamp, and transmitting the processed information to a monitoring system, wherein the pair of DNS packets are not transmitted to the monitoring system.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring traffic flow using a trained machine learning (ML) model. For example, in order to maintain a stable level of connectivity and network experience for the devices in a network, the ML model can monitor the data flow of each device and label each data flow based on its behavior and properties. The system can take various actions based on the labeled data flow, including generate an alert, automatically change network settings, or otherwise adjust the data flow from the device.

    摘要: An apparatus of a next generation NodeB (gNB) comprises one or more baseband processors to interconnect a gNB Central Unit control-plane entity (gNB-CU-CP) with a gNB Central Unit user-plane entity (gNB-CU-UP) via an E1 control plane interface and a gNB Distributed Unit (gNB-DU) via an F1 control plane interface. Rather than relying on multiple class-1 procedures initiated by gNB-CU-CP toward gNB-CU-UP and gNB-DU, the one or more baseband processors are configured to establish or modify a bearer context and to communicate data transport tunneling and/or packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) preservation status information for a specific user equipment (UE), utilizing the direct F1 user plane interface between gNB-DU and gNB-CU-UP to avoid relaying delay. The gNB can include a memory to store the bearer context and data transport tunneling information.
