Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for improving networked communication systems by transforming IP addresses. In particular, an intermediary device disposed in a network between a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers can receive a request for a service offered at a specified domain name. The appliance can also receive a DNS-resolved primary address for a server associated with the domain name, and transform the primary address to a secondary address for the server. The address transformation can be done by the intermediary to prevent service interruption between a client and server due, for example, to server maintenance.
Abstract:
A system and method that detects malicious account creation in a web-based platform. A method includes detecting suspicious events associated with an account creation process using a username classifier that evaluates a username used to create a new account, an IP address classifier that evaluates an IP address used to create the new account, and a domain classifier that evaluates a domain from an email address used to create the new account; analyzing each detected suspicious event with a density analysis classifier to determine if each detected suspicious event comprises a malicious event based on a density of detected suspicious events from a collections of account creation processes; and determining an alert condition based on at least one malicious event detection.
Abstract:
Described embodiments provide systems and methods for determining a change in a performance of a server. A device can receive a processing load and a request rate of a server. The device can determine a value indicative of a correlation between the processing load and the request rate of the server for a range of time. The device can determine whether the value is outside a range of a threshold for the server. The threshold can be indicative of one or more previous values determined for the server for the range of time. The device can generate an alert indicating a change in a performance of the server responsive to a comparison of the value to the threshold for the server.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for handling limit parameters for multi-core systems. A pool manager divides the limited number of uses of a resource into an exclusive quota pool and a shared quota pool. Each packet processing engine operating on a core is allocated an exclusive number of uses of the resource from the exclusive quota pool. If a packet processing engine wishes to use the resource beyond its exclusive number, the packet processing engine must borrow from the shared quota pool.
Abstract:
The present application is directed towards systems and methods for providing monitoring in a cluster system. The systems and methods distribute the monitors for a service and the ownership of a service across a cluster system comprising a plurality of nodes. The nodes in the cluster can be configured to have different sets of virtual servers (sometimes referred to as “vservers”) and services. The ownership and monitoring of the services can be distributed among all the nodes in the cluster. The system can identify a service in a cluster system and identify a master node that has ownership of the service. The master node can transmit a service status update to other nodes in the cluster system.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for load balancing by a multi-core device intermediary between clients and services. The device may establish sub-slots in each slot of the device's packet engines. The number of sub-slots may correspond to the packet engine count. Each slot may track a different number of active connections allocated to a service. The device may assign a first and second service to each packet engine in a first slot corresponding to no active connections. These services may be assigned to different sub-slots in adjacent packet engines. The device may update, responsive to allocation of a first active connection to the first service, the first service from a sub-slot in the first slot of a first packet engine, to a corresponding sub-slot in a second slot. The second slot may correspond to one active connection allocated to the first service.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for spillover threshold management in a multi-core system. A pool manager divides the spillover threshold limit of connections for vServers into an exclusive quota pool and a shared quota pool. Each vServer operating on a core is allocated an exclusive number of connections from the exclusive quota pool. If a vServer wishes to create connections beyond its exclusive number, the vServer can borrow from the shared quota pool. When the vServers are using at least a first predetermined threshold of their exclusive number of connections and the number of available connections in the shared quota pool has reached a second predetermined threshold, the multi-core system establishes a backup vServer.
