A system may include a processor and packet controller logic circuits implementing a distribution module, packet processing paths each including at least one configurable parsing engine and concatenating module pair, and an aggregation module. The distribution module can distribute an information unit between the plurality of packet processing paths. At least one of the packet processing paths can include multiple configurable parsing engine and concatenating module pairs coupled sequentially, and at least a portion of the information unit can be processed sequentially by the multiple configurable parsing engine and concatenating module pairs. The aggregation module can collect outputs from the packet processing paths.

A packet processor provides for rule matching of packets in a network architecture. The packet processor includes a lookup cluster complex having a number of lookup engines and respective on-chip memory units. The on-chip memory stores rules for matching against packet data. Each of the lookup engines receives a key request associated with a packet and determines a subset of the rules to match against the packet data. A work product may be migrated between lookup engines to complete the rule matching process. As a result of the rule matching, the lookup engine returns a response message indicating whether a match is found.

Methods, systems, and devices for determining a subset of user devices from among a complete set of user devices based on a set of received information, i.e., attributes, associated with a photograph or user device that transmitted the photograph and attributes, where the disposition of the information may be used to determine the subset and then perform facial recognition check on the subset of user associated photographs in order to accurately identify each user or users present in the photograph.

In one embodiment, a method includes encoding a key matching rule having at least one dimension by storing in a memory (i) a header of the key matching rule that has at least one header field, and (ii) at least one rule value field of the key matching rule corresponding to one of the dimensions.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for monitoring resources in a cloud computing environment. A set of cloud resources is provisioned to a user of the cloud-computing environment. A set of private resources is provided for the user, each private resource being provisioned within the set of cloud resources of the user. Monitoring templates are exposed, each one for a corresponding type of a private resource to the user. A user subscription is received to at least one of the monitoring templates, wherein each of the subscribed monitoring templates is for one of the user private resources. A private monitoring agent is provided within the cloud resources of the user housing the private resource of the user to monitor the private resource according to the corresponding selected monitoring template.

In one embodiment, a cloud connection appliance features a processor and a non-transitory storage medium. The non-transitory storage medium comprises management control logic, that when executed by the processor, controls registration with a controller adapted to control data traffic between gateway instance and to establish a communication path including a reverse tunnel with the controller. The controller and cloud connection appliance operate in a client-server relationship with the cloud connection appliance operates as a client when establishing the communication path and operates as a server when receiving control information through the reverse tunnel. The reverse tunnel enables the cloud connection appliance to directly receive the control information from the controller despite the cloud connection application lacking a publicly routable Internet Protocol (IP) address.

A multi-ring reliable messaging system is formed by interconnecting a plurality of token rings via a pair of gateways that includes an active gateway that is configured to communicate with the token rings and a standby gateway that also is configured to communicate with the token rings. The active gateway receives an original message via a first token ring, generates an associated message for a second token ring based on the original message, and propagates the associated message toward the second token ring. The active gateway supports total order delivery of messages within the token rings and causal-order delivery of messages between the token rings. The standby gateway monitors for original and associated messages received via the token rings in a manner for preventing loss of messages when the active gateway fails.

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.

One or more examples relate to an on-chip protocol analyzer provided at a physical layer of a communication interface to receive information about link control process data carried by a communication system to or from a protocol control logic of the communication interface.
