Abstract: some embodiments provide a novel method for selecting a route for a vehicle traveling from a first location to a second location. for each of a set of two or more candidate navigation routes from the first location to the second location, the method computes (1) a first-metric route score representing a first quality of the candidate navigation route according to a first set of route navigation metrics relating to the vehicle's navigation from the first location to the second location, and (2) a second-metric route score representing a second quality of the candidate navigation route according to a second set of wireless connectivity metrics relating to connectivity of one or more wireless devices operating in the vehicle. based on the first and second metric route scores, the method uses one navigation route to provide navigation instructions for the vehicle's navigation from the first location to the second location.

CPC Code(s): G06F8/656
Abstract: some embodiments provide a novel method for efficiently updating software of virtual machines (vms) executing on devices in a vehicle such that updates to the software do not interrupt operations performed by the vms. while the vehicle operates, the method collects configuration state information of a first vm executing on a device and performing a set of operations. the method uses the configuration state information to instantiate a second vm in an isolated network environment that is isolated from the first vm. the second vm is identical to the first vm at a particular time the configuration state information was collected. the method updates the second vm, and detects a compute downtime of the vehicle. during the compute downtime, the method uses the updated second vm on the device instead of the first vm such that the updated second vm performs the set of operations once the compute downtime ends.

CPC Code(s): G06F9/45558
Abstract: some embodiments provide a novel method for migrating virtual machines (vms) from a first host computer to a second host computer. the first host computer is connected to a physical network interface card (pnic) that performs middlebox service operations for flows associated with the vms. at the pnic, the method receives a notification that a vm is to be migrated from the first to the second host computer. the method configures an embedded hardware switch of the pnic to forward a set of flows associated with the vm to a firewall of the pnic. the embedded hardware switch was initially programmed to process the set of flows instead of the firewall. the method synchronizes flow cache information regarding the set of flows from the embedded hardware switch to the firewall. the method processes the set of flows at the firewall until the vm is migrated to the second host computer.

Abstract: some embodiments provide a novel method for remotely performing data analysis on a set of data collected using a first device operating in a vehicle at a first location. at a remote second device used by a remote user at a remote second location, the method accesses, over a network, a first vm executing on the first device allowing remote use of a second vm executing on the first device to produce analysis results of data that is collected and stored at the vehicle. the method uses the first vm (1) to direct the second vm to analyze the set of data to produce a set of analysis results, (2) to generate a rendered image that shows the set of analysis results, and (3) to forward the rendered image through the network to the remote second device for the remote user to view the set of analysis results.

Abstract: system and computer-implemented method for migrating partial tree structures of virtual disks for virtual computing instances between sites in a computer system uses a compressed trie, which is created from target tree structures of virtual disks at a plurality of target sites in the computer system. for a virtual computing instance selected, the compressed trie is used to find candidate target sites based on a disk chain string of the virtual computing instance. for each candidate target site, a cost value for migrating the virtual computing instance along with a partial source tree structure of virtual disks corresponding to the virtual computing instance from the source site to the candidate target site is calculated to select a target site with a lowest cost value as a migration option to reduce storage resource usage in the computer system.

CPC Code(s): H04L9/0822
Abstract: aspects of the disclosure generate independent encryption keys for objects (e.g., virtual machine disks (vmdks)) without requiring the management of multiple keys. an encryption manager obtains a primary encryption key, an object identifier (id) comprising a globally unique id (guid) for an object, a data salt comprising the object id and a data salt string, and a metadata salt comprising the object id and a metadata salt string. a data encryption key is generated using the primary encryption key, the data salt, and a one-way function. a metadata encryption key is generated using the primary encryption key, the metadata salt, and the one-way function. because the data salt string and metadata salt string differ, the data encryption and metadata encryption keys differ. object ids for different objects differ, so each object and its metadata have globally unique keys. key generation (other than the primary key) is deterministic, simplifying key management.

CPC Code(s): H04L47/122
Abstract: examples described herein include efficient data packet transmission between virtual machines (“vms”) on different hosts. an example method includes generating a large data packet at a source vm and determining a modified maximum segment size for efficient transmission. this modified size replaces the default maximum segment size through a tso mss override. segmentation occurs based on the modified size, and the data segments are transmitted to the destination vm, even if on a different host. dynamic determination of the modified size optimizes data transmission efficiency and network performance. it accounts for network headers and enables efficient transmission with or without large receiving offload (“lro”) support. additionally, non-transitory computer-readable media and servers implementing the method are disclosed. these systems and methods achieve streamlined data transmission, improving network performance and reducing processing overhead.

CPC Code(s): H04L63/0263
Abstract: some embodiments provide a novel method for using connection tracking records to process data messages at a physical network interface card (pnic) connected to a host computer. a first software firewall of the pnic determines whether processing of a flow is passable to a second software firewall of the pnic and to a third hardware firewall of the pnic. the first software firewall creates a connection tracking record for the flow and data specifying whether processing of the flow is passable to the second software firewall and independently whether processing of the flow is passable to the third hardware firewall. the first software firewall provides the connection tracking record and said data to the second software firewall of the pnic so that the second software firewall processes the flow or passes the connection tracking record and the data to the third hardware firewall if determination was that the flow is passable to the third hardware firewall.
