Title: Abhay Patil and His Patent for High-Availability Network State Replication.

Introduction

Abhay Patil is an inventor associated with Seattle, Washington, and Oracle International Corporation. His patent work addresses network virtualization and the replication of state information to support high availability.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Patil: “Techniques for Replicating State Information for High Availability.” It describes a Network Virtualization Device (NVD) that runs virtual network interface cards (VNICs), including a VNIC that forwards packets for one or more packet flows. The NVD stores information identifying those flows and their associated state. When that state needs to be synchronized with another NVD, the device identifies a backup NVD for the VNIC and sends it a portion of the stored state information. This approach is intended to help maintain service availability by providing a backup with relevant network state. Patil is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.

Career Highlights

Patil’s listed patent connects his work with Oracle International Corporation and focuses on a technical challenge in network virtualization: keeping VNIC-related state available across devices. The supplied information does not specify his role, employment dates, or other career details.

Collaborations

Jagwinder Singh Brar and Eugene Nalimov are identified as Patil’s coworkers. The information provided does not establish whether they collaborated with him on this patent.

Conclusion

Abhay Patil’s listed invention describes a method for replicating VNIC state to a backup network virtualization device, supporting high availability for packet flows.
