20190312893 · 2019-10-10 ·

In one embodiment, a device in a network receives a set of known user identifiers used in the network. The device receives web traffic log data regarding web traffic in the network. The web traffic log data includes header information captured from the web traffic and a plurality of client addresses associated with the web traffic. The device detects a particular one of the set of known user identifiers in the header information captured from the web traffic associated with a particular one of the plurality of client addresses. The device makes an association between the particular detected user identifier and the particular client address.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING NETWORK RESOURCE TRANSMISSION SIZE USING DELTA COMPRESSION
20190306263 · 2019-10-03 ·

A method and computing device for delta compression techniques for reducing network resource transmission size are described. A first request for a network resource is received. The requested network resource is retrieved. A first response including the network resource is transmitted to the near end network optimizer. The retrieved network resource is stored as a first version of the network resource regardless of a directive that a cached version of the network resource is not to be used to respond to future HTTP requests for that network resource without successful revalidation with an origin server. A second request for the network resource is received. A most current version of the network resource is retrieved. A set of differences between the first version and the most current version of the network resource are determined. The set of differences are transmitted to the near end network optimizer.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SINGLE ENTITY BUFFER POOL MANAGEMENT

Methods and apparatus for efficient data transfer within a user space network stack. Unlike prior art monolithic networking stacks, the exemplary networking stack architecture described hereinafter includes various components that span multiple domains (both in-kernel, and non-kernel). For example, unlike traditional socket based communication, disclosed embodiments can transfer data directly between the kernel and user space domains. Direct transfer reduces the per-byte and per-packet costs relative to socket based communication. A user space networking stack is disclosed that enables extensible, cross-platform-capable, user space control of the networking protocol stack functionality. The user space networking stack facilitates tighter integration between the protocol layers (including TLS) and the application or daemon. Exemplary systems can support multiple networking protocol stack instances (including an in-kernel traditional network stack).
