Abstract:
Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture for adjusting interrupt levels. A current system interrupt rate at a computational device is determined, wherein the current system interrupt rate is a sum of interrupt rates from a plurality of interrupt generating agents. The current system interrupt rate is compared with at least one threshold interrupt rate associated with the computational device. Based on the comparison, an interrupt moderation level is adjusted at an interrupt generating agent of the plurality of interrupt generating agents.
A process for comparing data, such as signatures in a data packet, includes retrieving, from a first hash table, a target value that corresponds to a segment of the data, processing the data in accordance with the target value to produce a checksum, locating an entry in a second hash table using the checksum, and comparing the data to the entry.

Abstract:
Classification of network data packets includes a determination sets of one or more filter-identifiers where each set is associated with a respective data-packet classifier field. A result-set of filter-identifiers may be derived based on an intersection of the filter-identifier sets.

Abstract:
A system and method for determining the source, on a network, of unwanted messages generated by a malicious agent, toward a target device such as a web server. The malicious agent directs one or more computers on a sub network to direct a flood of communications toward the server on a second sub network designed to substantially reduce the ability of the server to respond to other communications. Messages passing through points on a path between the malicious agent computers and the server are monitored for indicia of messages uncharacteristic of normal network communication. The first point along the path that the unwanted messages pass through is identified. A network device at that point is instructed to block portion of communications passing through that point.

Abstract:
In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method that includes automatically applying different sets of parameter values to a network interface component, storing performance data for the network interface component for the different sets of parameter values, and selecting a one of the different sets of parameters values based on the performance data.
