Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Distributed management communications network." This invention describes a multinode, multicast communications network that features distributed control for the creation, administration, and operational mode selection at each node. Each node is equipped with a Set Manager that oversees the creation, administration, or access to a set of users for multicast purposes. The Set Manager keeps a record of local membership for all users associated with its node. Additionally, a designated Set Manager acts as the Set Leader, maintaining comprehensive membership information for the multicast group. The Registrar, another key component, ensures that there is only one Set Leader for each user set and manages inquiries about membership.
Another notable patent is "Locating resources in computer networks having cache server nodes." This invention involves a computer network where resources are dynamically located using LOCATE requests. It includes multiple cache server nodes that maintain large caches of directory entries, playing a crucial role in the LOCATE process. The cache server nodes help prevent redundant broadcasts of LOCATE requests across the network. If a request is not found locally, it is forwarded to alternate cache server nodes or broadcasted to all network nodes.
