ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,494,978, issued on Dec. 9, was assigned to Palo Alto Networks Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).
"Latency based network path scoring" was invented by Gopal Gadekal Reddy (Fremont, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A network path scoring system is disclosed herein that scores "health" of network paths based on latency data. The system scores health of a network path based on additional latency of the network path for a current time interval, additional latency expected for the network path, and current load. The scoring uses a non-stationary range that is based on expected additional latency (e.g., engineered/injected latency) and coefficient...
