Described embodiments include a system that includes a network interface and a processor. The processor is configured to monitor, via the network interface, a streaming of an encrypted video stream, in a sequence of traffic bursts, from a video server to a user terminal, and, based on the monitoring, and without decrypting the video stream, to estimate a bit rate at which the video stream was streamed, and to estimate, using the estimated bit rate, a performance metric of the video stream. Other embodiments are also described.

Performance metrics for downloads of encrypted video

A virtualized application delivery controller (ADC) device operable in a communication network comprises a hardware infrastructure including at least a memory, a plurality of core processors, and a network interface; a plurality of instances of virtual ADCs (vADCs), the plurality of vADCs are executed over the hardware infrastructure, each of the plurality of vADCs utilizes a portion of hardware resources of the hardware infrastructure, the portion of hardware resources are determined by at least one ADC capacity unit allocated for each of the plurality of the vADCs; a management module for at least creating the plurality of instances of the vADCs; and a traffic distributor for distributing incoming traffic to one of the plurality of vADCs and scheduling execution of the plurality of vADCs on the plurality of core processors, wherein each of the plurality of vADCs is independently executed on at least one of the plurality of core processors.

Techniques for virtualization of application delivery controllers

A method for executing virtual application delivery controllers (vADCs) having different application versions over a computing device. The method comprises installing a virtualization infrastructure in the computing device; creating by the virtualization infrastructure a plurality of vADCs having different application versions, wherein each vADC is created from a software image maintained in a hardware infrastructure of the computing device; gathering version information associated with each of the plurality of vADCs; independently executing the plurality of vADCs over an operating system of the computing device; and controlling the execution of the plurality of the vADCs over an operating system of the computing device using the virtualization infrastructure using in part the version information. In one embodiment, each of the plurality of vADCs does not execute its own guest operating system.
