Methods and apparatus to sample data connections Patent uri icon

abstract

  • Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to sample signed weighted updates. Example methods disclosed herein include identifying a first key associated with a data update obtained by sampling a stream of data received from a plurality of nodes in a network, the first key being representative of a first node in the plurality of nodes, adjusting a first value associated with the first key based on a weight associated with the data update, the weight being positive when the data update corresponds to opening of a new data connection with the first node, the weight being negative when the data update corresponds to closing of an existing data connection with the first node, and estimating a status of the first node based on the first value.
