Title: John Hanahan and Dynamic Resource Allocation for Virtual Network Functions.

Introduction

John Hanahan is an inventor based in Saratoga, California, whose patent work addresses resource management in network functions virtualization infrastructure. His disclosed invention focuses on adjusting server resources in response to the bandwidth demands of a tenant’s network traffic.

Latest Patents

Hanahan is associated with 1 patent: “Tenant-Driven Dynamic Resource Allocation for Virtual Network Functions.” The patent describes techniques for tenant-driven resource allocation in network functions virtualization infrastructure. In one example, an orchestration system operated by a data center provider calculates the aggregate bandwidth of a tenant’s flows processed by an assigned virtual network function. Based on that bandwidth, the system modifies the compute resources allocated to the server running the function.
