MULTI-PROCESS SHARED-MEMORY MESSAGE COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240250970 titled 'MULTI-PROCESS SHARED-MEMORY MESSAGE COMMUNICATION

The present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for using a shared memory quota for communicating with a plurality of services in a data plane. The method involves processing a set of data for network security analysis, determining whether to offload the data to a cloud security entity for processing, and sending the data from a shared memory to the cloud security entity if offloading is required. The cloud security entity offers multiple services that share a shared memory for storing messages related to the offloaded data.

  • Processing a set of data for network security analysis
  • Determining whether to offload the data to a cloud security entity
  • Sending the data from shared memory to the cloud security entity
  • Cloud security entity providing multiple services
  • Multiple services sharing a shared memory for storing messages
  • Allocating a quota of the shared memory to each service

Potential Applications: - Network security analysis - Cloud security processing - Data offloading for security purposes

Problems Solved: - Efficient communication with multiple services - Secure data processing in the cloud - Resource allocation for shared memory usage

Benefits: - Improved network security analysis - Enhanced cloud security processing - Optimal resource utilization

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to shared memory communication systems and cloud security processing to gain a deeper understanding of the technology.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in shared memory communication systems, cloud security processing, and network security analysis to leverage the latest innovations in the field.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve network security analysis? 2. What are the key advantages of offloading data to a cloud security entity?


Original Abstract Submitted

the present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for using a shared memory quota for communicating with a plurality of services in a data plane. the method includes processing a set of data for network security analysis, determining whether to offload the set of data to a cloud security entity for security processing, in response to determining to offload the set of data to the cloud security entity, send the set of data from a shared memory of the inline security entity to the cloud security entity. the cloud security entity provides a plurality of services. the plurality of services share a multiple-service shared-memory in which messages pertaining to the set of data offloaded to the cloud security entity is stored. each service in the plurality of services is allocated a quota of the multiple-service shared-memory.
