The update message is embedded with a unique identifier corresponding to the network node, and a network interface identifier corresponding to at least one of the plurality of network interfaces. In particular, the network interface identifier is corresponding to network interface(s) at which a predefined event has occurred. The present invention further comprises a method carried out by a server for resolving a DNS request by retrieving DNS resource records of a network node and/or network interface specified in the DNS request, and replying to the DNS request with the DNS resource records. The DNS resource records are created based on in part at least one update message received from the network node. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032870 | UPDATING PARAMETERS IN A NETWORK - A system, method, and software product are provided for updating parameters, such as requested packet intervals (RPIs), in a network. The system may include one or more PLCs, communication controllers, and I/O devices coupled in a communication network, such as EtherNet/IP. A request to change a parameter (e.g., scanning rate or timeout value) is transmitted from the PLC to an I/O device specifying a new parameter value or time-out value. The I/O device may receive the message, use a temporary time-out value while processing the message, and transmit an acknowledgement confirming the new value to the PLC. The I/O device may use the updated parameter and new time-out value. The updated parameter may be implemented without the need to take down and re-establish network connections to the affected devices. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032871 | AUTOMATED TRAFFIC ENGINEERING BASED UPON THE USE OF BANDWIDTH AND UNEQUAL COST PATH UTILIZATION - A method in a network element improves load distribution in a network that includes the network element. The network element is one of a plurality of network elements in the network each of which implement a common algorithm tie-breaking process as part of a computation used to produce minimum cost shortest path trees. The network element includes a database to store the topology of the network. A set of service attachment points is mapped to network elements in the topology for services individually associated with an equal cost tree (ECT) set and associated with per service bandwidth requirements. The topology of the network includes a plurality of network elements and links between the network elements. The method generates multiple ECT tree sets for connectivity establishment and maintenance of the connectivity in the network. The method defines a bandwidth aware path selection. The method reduces the coefficient of variation of link load across the entire network. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032872 | Selectively Using Network Address Translated Mapped Addresses Based on their Prior Network Reachability - In one embodiment, network address translated (NAT) mapped addresses are selectively used based on their prior network reachability. One embodiment maintains for each particular mapped address (e.g., NAT public address pool member), a reachability status level based on prior usage of the particular mapped address to communicate with external destinations. By continuously monitoring the reachability “health” of mapped addresses, problem-experiencing mapped addresses can be avoided. One embodiment monitors the success and/or failure rates of connection attempts over a rolling time period to provide an up-to-date current view of the reachability status level of corresponding mapped addresses. In one embodiment, a network address translation device assigns, based on their reachability status level, these mapped addresses. One embodiment provides an administrative notification for particular mapped address or ceases using the particular mapped address in response to its reachability status level falling outside a predetermined or calculated level. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032873 | ACTIVITY ANALYSIS FOR MONITORING AND UPDATING A PERSONAL PROFILE - Provided are techniques for activity analysis for monitoring and updating a personal profile. User activities are monitored to create a user activity log. The user activity log and a user profile are analyzed using one or more profile entity to activity mappings to identify one or more suggestions for updating the user profile. The one or more suggestions are provided to update the user profile. In response to acceptance of at least one of the suggestions, the user profile is updated. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032874 | COMPUTER DATA VOLUME TRACKER SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and computer implemented method for use with an user device in communications with an enterprise system (ES) in a workplace, includes: tracking data volume and usage times, via a data volume tracker application, of one or more enterprise software applications in the user device; storing the data volume, duration of usage times and actual date and time of usage in a memory wherein the data volume tracker application differentiates the stored data transferred to and from each service provider, for each connection type and for each of the enterprise software applications; and periodically reporting the stored data to a central computer of the ES, wherein the data volume tracker application, the enterprise software applications and the memory are each resident on the user device. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032875 | ADAPTIVE POLLING OF INFORMATION FROM A DEVICE - A capability is provided for adaptive polling of a device based on a set of polling control regions configured to control polling of the device. The set of polling control regions is defined based on at least one of a set of control parameters and non-parametric control information. A transition within the set of polling control regions is determined based on a current polling control region and a target polling control region that is determined based on input information received while in the current polling control region. The input information may include at least one of values of one or more parameters in the set of parameters and non-parametric input information. The transition may include remaining in the current polling control region or transitioning to a new polling control region. The transition may be performed based on a rapid up controlled down (RUCD) transition scheme. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032876 | MEASURING RESPONSE TRENDS IN A DIGITAL TELEVISION NETWORK - Techniques and systems for providing a trend server outside a content provider network to communicate with the content provider network to build a trend record based on responses received from the content provider network for monitoring certain activity trend or tendency in the content provider network and provide an alert when the content provider network behaves abnormally. | 2015-01-29 |
