Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Network monitoring combining client-based and network-based signals." This innovative monitoring service analyzes client-based monitoring data in correlation with network-based monitoring data for paths between two endpoints in a network upon request from a client. The endpoint can be any valid private IP address or DNS name where traffic is to be sent. Clients may define parameters for the monitoring, including thresholds for identifying network issues based on the client-based monitoring data. Different levels of network-based monitoring may be performed responsive to results of the correlation and continued performance determinations relative to the thresholds. The client-based and network-based monitoring data may include reports of performance signals, such as packet loss and round-trip time or other measured latency, as well as events such as connection issues and timeouts. The monitoring data from the different sources can be compared to determine whether a network issue is present in the network or outside of the network/in the client.

Another significant patent is "Debugging of a network device through emulation." This patent describes an emulation mode for network devices as a means of isolating a defective network device from real network traffic while continuing to transmit faux traffic to the defective network device, wherein the faux traffic is intentionally dropped. The emulation mode allows the defective network device to be tested in an environment that appears real, without impacting user traffic. A management server can control one or more neighbor network devices and place them in the emulation mode as a way to isolate and test the defective network device. In the emulation mode, the neighbor network device monitors for packets that, based on previous routing history, would be sent to the defective network device and, instead, routes them to functioning network devices using a current FIB. A virtual RIB/FIB can also be used to route the same packets to the defective network device.
