20160026963 | FUNCTIONING OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT FACILITATES DISTRIBUTION OF WORK - A request is transmitted to a computer operated by an approver, to respond with approval or disapproval for an employee to work on a project, before a bid identifying that employee can be accepted. Requests for approval or disapproval are transmitted based on one or more employees identified in a bid, by looking up a database, to identify the approver of each employee. To facilitate the look up, each employee to be identified in a bid is required to have a profile in a set of profiles of employees in an organization. After responses of approval are received for employees identified in bids, those bids are transmitted to a computer operated by a project manager. Obtaining approval(s) before a bid can be accepted increases the likelihood of work being done in a timely manner, thus improving the functioning of a computer system that facilitates distribution of work. | 01-28-2016 |

20160036636 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK MANAGEMENT - Embodiments relate generally to network hardware, network software and methods for network management and testing. In some embodiments, state information (e.g., configuration data, forwarding states, IP tables, rules, network topology information, etc.) can be received from devices in a network. The state information can be parsed and used to generate a network model, which describes how data is processed by the network. Using the model, possible flow paths of data through the network can be identified and used to analyze the network and identify network behavior, such as types of traffic, frequency of rule matches, what kind of transformation occurs as traffic flows through the network, and where the traffic gets dropped, etc. Policies can be verified against the network model to ensure compliance, and in the event of non-compliance, a report or interface can indicate the cause and/or allow a user to explore specific details about the cause. | 02-04-2016 |
