Title: Peter B. Chave and Egress Link Safety in Cloud Computing

Introduction

Peter B. Chave is an inventor associated with Andover, Massachusetts, and Akamai Technologies, Inc. His patent work addresses a challenge in cloud computing: preventing customer workloads from overwhelming the network links that connect to a provider’s infrastructure.

Latest Patents

The supplied information identifies one patent associated with Chave: “Egress Link Safety for Large Uncontrollable Workloads in a Computing Infrastructure.” The invention describes a cloud-provider safety mechanism that controls how server and network capacity information is shared with a customer.

The approach defines a “mini-cluster” from a physical server cluster and dedicates it to serving a particular link. A mini-cluster may contain one or more servers, typically virtual machines, whose egress capacity is capped to match the maximum link capacity allocated to the customer’s traffic. By dedicating a fixed set of servers to the link and limiting their combined capacity, the system helps prevent customer workloads from overloading that link. The supplied data lists 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Chave is associated with Akamai Technologies, Inc., a company whose work includes internet infrastructure and cloud services. His listed patent reflects an engineering focus on managing capacity and protecting network links under demanding workloads.

Collaborations

Philip A. Lisiecki is identified as Chave’s coworker. The supplied information does not specify whether Lisiecki collaborated on the patent.

Conclusion

Peter B. Chave’s listed invention presents a capacity-control method for protecting cloud infrastructure links by matching server egress limits to allocated link capacity.
