There is provided a method for gathering traffic analytics data about a communication network that includes applying a heuristic that focuses on specific attributes of the communications relationships between the system assets of a network.

A data transmission method includes receiving a service request sent by a terminal device. The method also includes determining, based on the service request, a target transmission path of service data corresponding to the service request and a change policy corresponding to the target transmission path. The method further includes changing, according to the change policy, a current content delivery network (CDN) to a target CDN. The target CDN includes a plurality of serving nodes corresponding to the target transmission path. The method additionally includes sending an indication message to a first serving node in the target CDN to indicate the first serving node to send the service data to the terminal device through the target transmission path; or sending an indication message to a second serving node in the target CDN to indicate the second serving node to send the service data to the terminal device.

A method includes adding, by a first apparatus, a first node to the first apparatus, where the first apparatus is configured to store and manage service-related data, and where the first node is configured to perform a grayscale upgrade on a first service; configuring, by the first apparatus, a grayscale rule; identifying, by the first apparatus and according to the grayscale rule, a grayscale user to test the first service; sending, by the first apparatus to a second apparatus, the grayscale rule, wherein the second apparatus is a front-end apparatus of the first apparatus; and performing, by the first node, the grayscale upgrade on the first service of the grayscale user.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for optimal placement of aggregator equipment in telecommunication networks. An embodiment operates by determining an optimized traffic aggregation configuration based on execution of a network optimization function. The embodiment executes the network optimization function by receiving, as an input, information corresponding to resource capacity of the one or more types of aggregator units and resource demands generated by the plurality of access nodes, calculating an estimated number of each type of traffic aggregator unit of the one or more types of traffic aggregator units, and calculating the optimized traffic aggregation configuration. The embodiment modifies, based on the optimized traffic aggregation configuration, a network connectivity configuration corresponding to the plurality of network sites, and routes, based on the modified network connectivity configuration, network traffic via the optimized group of one or more types of traffic aggregator units.

Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying different virtual networks over several public cloud datacenters for different entities. For each entity, the method (1) identifies a set of public cloud datacenters of one or more public cloud providers to connect a set of machines of the entity, (2) deploys managed forwarding nodes (MFNs) for the entity in the identified set of public cloud datacenters, and then (3) configures the MFNs to implement a virtual network that connects the entity's set of machines across its identified set of public cloud datacenters. In some embodiments, the method identifies the set of public cloud datacenters for an entity by receiving input from the entity's network administrator. In some embodiments, this input specifies the public cloud providers to use and/or the public cloud regions in which the virtual network should be defined. Conjunctively, or alternatively, this input in some embodiments specifies actual public cloud datacenters to use.

The present application relates to communications between a partner network and a wide area network (WAN). The partner network and WAN may exchange representations of the respective networks including a delay profile for the partner network. The WAN receives a network delay profile for multiple virtual network entities within the partner network. The multiple virtual network entities include at least a plurality of peering locations with the WAN. The WAN determines a path from the partner network through the WAN via a selected peering location of the plurality of peering locations with the WAN to a destination based on at least the network delay profile. The WAN deploys a policy for an agent within the partner network. The policy identifies traffic for the destination to route through the WAN via the selected peering location. The WAN routes traffic from the selected peering location to the destination along the path.

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing a data center monitoring and management operation. The data center monitoring and management operation includes: identifying a plurality of assets within a data center; generating data center asset profile data for each of the plurality of assets within the data center; identifying a plurality of asset configurations related to the asset profile data; and, calculating costs associated with the plurality of asset configurations related to the asset profile data.

A quarantine system could be disposed between an outer firewall and an inner firewall. The quarantine system may include persistent storage containing mappings between computing devices disposed within the inner firewall and data sources disposed outside the outer firewall. The quarantine system may include one or more processors configured to perform operations that include requesting and receiving, based on the mappings, a software-related update from a data source, the software-related update being targeted for deployment on the computing devices. The operations may also include assigning the software-related update for review by a group of one or more agents authorized to approve or reject the software-related update. The operations may also receiving an indication that the software-related update has been approved by the one or more agents and, responsive to receiving the indication, transmitting, based on the mappings, the software-related update to a recipient device within the inner firewall.

Methods, computer readable media, and systems service a queue, comprising a plurality of jobs, by identifying nodes satisfying a hardware requirement for at least a subset of jobs in the queue. Each job indicates when it was submitted to the queue and one or more node resource requirements. A current availability score for each node class in a plurality of node classes is determined and nodes of a first node class in the plurality of node classes are reserved when a demand score for the class satisfies the current availability score for the first node class by a first threshold amount. Reserved nodes are permitted to draw jobs from the queue in accordance with satisfaction by such nodes of the node resource requirements of the jobs but are terminated, without completing the jobs, when the current availability score for their node class exceeds a second threshold amount.
