Latest Patents
One of his latest patents focuses on service optimization in networks and cloud interconnects. This disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for optimizing firewall enforcement. The techniques may implement a dynamic detection of Layer 7 processing at one end of the network, alleviating the need to enforce another layer 7 firewall inspection at the other end, thereby saving processing and network resources. The techniques enable firewalls and policies to be statically defined and located in one place.
Another notable patent is related to auto discovery and auto scaling of services in a software-defined network environment. Techniques are described for automatic discovery of two or more virtual service instances configured to apply a given service to a packet in a software-defined networking (SDN)/network functions virtualization (NFV) environment. Virtual service instances may be deployed as virtual entities hosted on one or more physical devices to offer individual services or chains of services from a service provider. The use of virtual service instances enables automatic scaling of the services on-demand. The techniques of this disclosure enable automatic discovery by a gateway network device of virtual service instances for a given service as load balancing entities. According to the techniques, the gateway network device automatically updates a load balancing group for the given service to include the discovered virtual service instances on which to load balance traffic for the service. In this way, the disclosed techniques provide auto-scaling and auto-discovery of services in an SDN/NFV environment.
