Abstract:

This disclosure relates to methods and systems for queuing traffic in packet-switched networks. In one of many possible embodiments, a queue management system includes a plurality of queues and a priority module configured to assign incoming packets to the queues based on priorities associated with the incoming packets. The priority module is further configured to drop at least one of the packets already contained in the queues. The priority module is configured to operate across multiple queues when determining which of the packets contained in the queues to drop. Some embodiments provide for hybrid queue management that considers both classes and priorities of packets.

US Classification:

710244, 710119, 710120

Abstract:

A modification of rank priority arbitration for access to computer system resources through a shared pipeline that provides more equitable arbitration by allowing a higher ranked request access to the shared resource ahead of a lower ranked requester only one time. If multiple requests are active at the same time, the rank priority will first select the highest priority active request and grant it access to the resource. It will also set a ‘blocking latch’ to prevent that higher priority request from re-gaining access to the resource until the rest of the outstanding lower priority active requesters have had a chance to access the resource.

US Classification:

726 23

Abstract:

A system and method for determining the point of entry of a malicious packet into a network is disclosed. An intrusion detection system detects entry of the malicious packet into the network (). A stepping stone detection system identifies stepping stones in extended connections within the network (). A traceback engine isolates the malicious packet in response to operation of the intrusion detection system (), wherein the traceback engine utilizes the identified stepping stones to determine the point of entry of the malicious packet.

Abstract:

A method and system is provided for detecting correlated connections in an extended connection. A plurality of stepping stone detection algorithms are executed in parallel (), each of the plurality of stepping stone detection algorithms generating a result. The results are scored for each of the plurality of stepping stone detection algorithms (). A consensus attack path is generated based upon the scored results ().

US Classification:

711141, 711207, 711E12014, 711E12061

Abstract:

A system, method and computer program product for providing a new quiesce state. The method includes receiving a quiesce request at a system controller from an initiating processor. The quiesce request is sent to a plurality of processors. Notification is received at the system controller that the processors have finished purging their translation look aside buffers (TLBs). A fast quiesce reset command is received at the system controller from the initiating processor once updates to the system resources are complete. It is indicated to the processors that the block translation restriction can be dropped in response to receiving the fast quiesce reset command, thereby allowing the processors to continue processing without block translation restrictions.

Abstract:

A method of determining correlated flows in a network may include obtaining times of arrival and corresponding flows for data units in the network () and assigning weights to a set of data units based on respective times between the set of data units and one data unit (). A probability matrix representing interflow connections in the network may be updated based on the assigned weights ().
