Examples of systems are described herein which may dynamically allocate compute resources to recovery clusters. Accordingly, a recovery site may utilize fewer compute resources in maintaining recovery clusters for multiple associate clusters, while ensuring that, during use, compute resources are allocated to a particular cluster. This may reduce and/or avoid vulnerabilities arising from a use of shared resources in a virtualized and/or cloud environment.

Dynamic allocation of compute resources at a recovery site

The present disclosure provides solutions for an enterprise providing services to a variety of clients to enable the client to use the resources provided by the enterprise by modifying URLs received and the URLs from the responses from the servers to the client's requests before forwarding the requests and the responses to the intended destinations. An intermediary may identify an access profile for a clients' request to access a server via a clientless SSL VPN session. The intermediary may detect one or more URLs in content served by the server in response to the request using one or more regular expressions of the access profile. The intermediary may rewrite or modify, responsive to detecting, the one or more detected URLs in accordance with a URL transformation specified by one or more rewrite policies of the access profile. The response with modified URLs may be forwarded to the client.

Systems and methods for configuration driven rewrite of SSL VPN clientless sessions

The present disclosure is directed to systems and method for providing a virtual appliance. One or more application delivery controller appliances intermediary to a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers perform a plurality of application delivery control functions on network traffic communicated between the plurality of clients and the plurality of servers. A virtual application delivery controller is deployed on a device intermediary to the plurality of clients and the plurality of servers. The virtual application delivery controller executing on the device performs one or more of the plurality of application delivery control functions on network traffic communicated between the plurality of clients and the plurality of servers.

Systems for memory management in virtual machines. A method embodiment forms a reconfigurable multi-level data structure by requesting reserved memory as well as loaned-out memory. The method configures the multi-level data structure to have a first area comprising reserved memory and having a second area comprising reconfigurable memory. The reserved memory portion of the data structure is populated with pointers that address one or more portions of the second area. During operation, the method receives a request to release some or all of the reconfigurable memory. Memory address pointers in the first portion of the multi-level data structure are modified to reflect the release of the reconfigurable memory. In a hypervisor-based virtual machine environment, the first area comprising reserved memory can be allocated via a hypervisor call. The second area comprising reconfigurable memory is allocated via a balloon memory driver call.

Spontaneous reconfiguration of data structures using balloon memory allocation

This disclosure describes a system for Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) pass-thru for network packet processing via a virtualized environment of a device. The system includes a device comprising a virtualized environment and a plurality of virtual machines having a virtual network interface for receiving and transmitting network packets. A driver for the physical network interface of the device creates a plurality of virtual devices corresponding to the physical network interface, which appear as a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) device to the virtualized environment. A virtual device of the plurality of virtual devices is assigned via the virtualized environment to each virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines. The virtual machine uses the virtual device assigned to the virtual machine, to receive and transmit network packets via the physical network interface of the device.

Systems and methods for SR-IOV pass-thru via an intermediary device

The present solution is related to a method for distributing flows of network traffic across a plurality of packet processing engines executing on a corresponding core of a multi-core device. The method includes receiving, by a multi-core device intermediary to clients and servers, a packet of a first flow of network traffic between a client and server. The method also includes assigning, by a flow distributor of the multi-core device, the first flow of network traffic to a first core executing a packet processing engine and distributing the packet to this core. The flow distributor may distribute packets of another or second flow of traffic between another client and server to a second core executing a second packet processing engine. When a packet for the flow of traffic assigned to the first core is received, such as a third packet, the flow distributor distributes this packet to the first core.

Systems and methods for configuring and evaluating policies that direct processing of one or more data streams are described. A configuration interface is described for allowing users to specify object oriented policies. These object oriented policies may allow any data structures to be applied with respect to a payload of a received packet stream, including any portions of HTTP traffic. A configuration interface may also allow the user to control the order in which policies and policy groups are executed, in addition to specifying actions to be taken if one or more policies are undefined. Systems and methods for processing the policies may allow efficient processing of object-oriented policies by applying potentially complex data structures to unstructured data streams. A device may also interpret and process a number of flow control commands and policy group invocation statements to determine an order of execution among a number of policies and policy groups. These policy configurations and processing may allow configuration and processing of complex network behaviors relating to load balancing, VPNs, SSL offloading, content switching, application security, acceleration, and caching.

Systems and methods for managing application security profiles

An efficient method for parsing HTML pages identifies pages containing a mix of static and dynamic content. The pages are parsed to form abstract syntax trees (ASTs), which are then cached along with the pages. When a later version of a page is retrieved, it is compared against the cached version, and only those portions of the AST that contain different content are reparsed.

Scalable derivative services

The present disclosure presents systems and methods for controlling network traffic traversing an intermediary device based on a license or a permit granted for the intermediary device. The systems and methods control a rate of a traffic of a device in accordance with a rate limit identified by a rate limiting license. A rate limiting manager of an intermediary device that processes network traffic between a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers, may identify presence of a rate limiting license that further identifies a performance level. The rate limiting manager may establish a rate limit based on the performance level of the rate limiting license. A throttler of the intermediary may control a rate of receiving network packets in accordance with the rate limit.

Systems and methods for platform rate limiting

A method of a device for filtering messages routing across a network includes extracting, by a filter configured on the device, a plurality of message components from messages received via a network. The plurality of message components is identified as having at least a field name in common, including a first field name. A learning engine configured on the device creates a list of data types for values of the first field name. The list includes one or more data types of a value of the first field name identified for each of the plurality of message components. The learning engine determines a most restrictive data type from the list of data types for the values of the first field name of the plurality of message components.

Inferencing data types of message components

A security gateway receives messages, such as URL requests, rejected by a message filter based on a set of rules. The security gateway maintains frequencies with which the messages were rejected by the rules. The security gateway finds rejected messages having a high frequency of occurrence. Since messages having a high frequency of occurrences are more likely to represent legitimate requests rather than malicious attacks, the security gateway generates exception rules, which would allow similar messages to pass through the gateway.
