An anomaly detection and resolution system (ADRS) is disclosed for automatically detecting and resolving anomalies in computing environments. The ADRS may be implemented using an anomaly classification system defining different types of anomalies (e.g., a defined anomaly and an undefined anomaly). A defined anomaly may be based on bounds (fixed or seasonal) on any metric to be monitored. An anomaly detection and resolution component (ADRC) may be implemented in each component defining a service in a computing system. An ADRC may be configured to detect and attempt to resolve an anomaly locally. If the anomaly event for an anomaly can be resolved in the component, the ADRC may communicate the anomaly event to an ADRC of a parent component, if one exists. Each ADRC in a component may be configured to locally handle specific types of anomalies to reduce communication time and resource usage for resolving anomalies.

The present invention relates to a method and arrangements to achieve a dynamic and efficient resource distribution policy in packet based communication networks applying service differentiation and packet scheduling. The method initially allocates for each traffic class a certain share of the available resources, e.g. in terms of a share of the transmission bandwidth. The actual traffic shares for each of the traffic classes are monitored and compared to the assigned shares. If the monitored traffic shares does not correspond to the assigned shares a reconfiguration algorithm is started that equalizes resources according to the actual need. The new resource distribution policy is then distributed to the affected network nodes by means of a sequence of Load Control refresh packets where the shares of packets that belong to the various traffic classes correspond to the resource shares that are assigned to these traffic classes in the new resource distribution policy.

A sponge process, for example within a driver in a guest operating system, is associated in a virtual computer system with each virtual processor in one or more virtual machines. When timer interrupts become backlogged, for example because a virtual machine is temporarily descheduled to allow other virtual machines to run, and upon occurrence of a trigger event, a conventional interrupt is disengaged and catch-up interrupts are instead directed into an appropriate one of the sponge processes. The backlogged timer interrupts are thus delivered without unfairly attributing descheduled time to whatever processes happened to be running while the catch-up interrupts are delivered, and without violating typical guest operating system timing assumptions.

When a video stream is edited in compressed domain to achieve video editing effects, the edited bitstream may violate the receiver buffer fullness requirement. In order to comply with the buffer fullness requirement, buffer parameters in the bitstream and the file format are adjusted to ensure that the buffer will not become underflow or overflow due to video editing. As such, re-encoding the entire bitstream is not needed. If the editing effect is a slow-motion effect, a fast motion effect or a black-and-white effect, the buffer parameter to be adjusted can be the transmission rate. If the editing effect is a black-and-white effect, a cutting effect, a merging effect or a fading effect, the compressed frame sized can be adjusted.
