Latest Patents

Libby is associated with 1 patent, titled “Forceful Flow Termination for Accelerated Networking.” The invention describes a method in which a hardware accelerator identifies a flow entry that meets predefined termination criteria and sends a request, containing the flow’s match characteristics, to a software-based reset packet generator. The generator creates a TCP reset packet with matching header information and returns it to the accelerator. The accelerator then applies a transformation defined in the flow entry, sends the transformed packet to the destination device, and deletes the flow entry from its table.
