Quantum Metric Assigned Patent
Techniques for compact storage of network traffic and efficient search
By Francis Pelletier | January 26, 2022 at 2:00 pmQuantum Metric, Inc., Monument, CO, has been assigned a patent (11,212,358) developed by Ciabarra, Jr., Mario Luciano, Colorado Springs, CO, and Wang, Yiduo, Portland, OR, for “techniques for compact data storage of network traffic and efficient search thereof.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “In networked communication systems, a document in a communication (e.g., a response) may be similar between multiple communications involving the same resource, such that duplicate data can be discarded and not stored by a network storage system. Storage of differences in network traffic facilitates compression of storage of network traffic, thereby significantly reducing data storage. Techniques are disclosed for efficient search and retrieval of the compressed data storage. Network traffic may be compared to communications in previous network traffic to identify differences if any. Resource templates may be generated for different (e.g., new) resources identified in network traffic. Storage of the different resources identified in network traffic enables compression of network traffic. Similarity matching may be implemented to improve processing performance for compact storage of network traffic, including determining differences in network traffic for storage.”
The patent application was filed on June 23, 2020 (16/909,897).
