Abstract: An efficient computer-implemented method that allows an owner of a website to initiate voice and/or video calls with clients that are visiting the website of the owner in a manner that is simple for the visitor and can use fewer network resources than in prior approaches. The visit of the client to the website causes creating a socket connection between the client and the server. The server executes an application program to maintain a list of connected clients, and various metadata about the clients, which is presented to the website owner in an interface display. The owner can select any particular client among all the clients in the list, to initiate a peer-to-peer connection with that particular client and begin a call with them. The process executes without the client explicitly requesting a call.

Abstract: Systems and methods for resolving names in a data network. A data network includes an information-centric network layer, ICN-layer, with multiple routers, and a name resolution layer with multiple name resolvers. Each router receives an interest packet announcement describing data objects provided by a data producer. Each router determines a first name resolver of the name resolution layer closest to the data producer and sends a name of the provided data object and geo-location of the data producer to the first name resolver. The first name resolver transmits the name of the data object and geo-location of the data producer to other name resolvers. Each router receives an interest packet request describing a data object requested by a data consumer. Each router transmits the interest packet request to a second name resolver spatially closest to the data consumer. Each name resolver provides the geo-location of the requested data object to the data consumer.

Abstract: Techniques are described for an enhanced two-way active measurement protocol (TWAMP) to measure network performance of links and/or network paths in a fully converged Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), using a single TWAMP instance. In one example, a first network device executing a TWAMP session-sender may send a test packet embedded with one or more metrics to the TWAMP session-reflector executed by another network device, which reflects the test packet embedded with one or more metrics back to the TWAMP session-sender. The TWAMP session-sender may further reflect a test packet embedded with one or more additional metrics back to a TWAMP session-reflector to enable the network devices to independently perform network performance calculations using the metrics embedded within the test packets exchanged in a single TWAMP instance.

Abstract: A method for anonymizing user identifiable information to be transmitted outside of a local network includes generating a network entity hash input based on (i) a first MAC address assigned to a client station of the local network, (ii) a second MAC address assigned to the network gateway device of the local network, and (iii) an identifier of a cloud entity of an external network to which data of the client station is to be transmitted. The method further includes generating a hash value output based on the network entity hash input and a random token value using a hashing function, generating an anonymized MAC address associated with the client station based on the hash value output, and transmitting the anonymized MAC address associated with the client station to the cloud entity of the external network.

Abstract: A method of selectively broadcasting a message to a client by a server without knowing the client's internet protocol (IP) address includes performing target recognition and tracking on one or more targets, including position of the one or more targets, extracting target-specific context parameters from the one or more recognized and tracked targets, encoding the target-specific context parameters into a header, thereby generating a context address for the one or more targets, appending the context address to a message for the one or more targets from a predetermined set of messages based on the position of the one or more targets, thereby generating one or more packets of information, and broadcasting the one or more packets wirelessly to one or more client mobile devices each associated with the one or more targets.

Abstract: This application provides an interaction information transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a calling terminal from an RBT-AS, an SDP message including interaction information related to a video ring back tone; receiving, by the calling terminal from the RBT-MRS, a video ring back tone media stream including the video ring back tone; and playing, by the calling terminal, the video ring back tone in a display interface, and displaying interaction content related to the interaction information. Since the RBT-AS configures the interaction information into the SDP message and sends the SDP message to the calling terminal, the calling terminal does not need to perform decoding and can directly obtain the interaction information and the RBT-AS does not need to encode the interaction information either. Therefore, encoding and decoding processes are not required at a transmit end and a receive end respectively, avoiding extra processing overheads.

Abstract: Embodiments seek to improve web page loading time using server-machine-driven hint generation for based on client-machine-driven feedback. For example, client computers having page renderers are in communication with content servers and hinting processors. The hinting processors can use hinting feedback from multiple page rendering instances to automatically generate hints for optimizing loading and/or rendering of those pages. In some implementations, in response to page requests from the page renderers, content servers can request hints from hinting processors and send those hints to the requesting page renderers for use in improving the page loading experience. In other implementations, in response to page requests from the page renderers, content servers can instruct the requesting page renderers to contact an appropriate hinting processor and to retrieve appropriate hints therefrom for use in improving the page loading experience.

The encapsulated reply to the discovery message from the pre-boot server may include boot information. The border device may then forward the encapsulated reply to the discovery message from the pre-boot server to an edge device associated with the client device.

Abstract: A controller may identify a problematic path from several paths over which to route egress traffic from a site, may determine a threshold amount of traffic to shift from the problematic path, and may implement different potential traffic shifts for shifting similar amounts of traffic as the threshold amount. The controller may provide the labels or header values that different nodes in the site may place in the egress traffic in order to control which path is used to distributed that egress traffic. The controller may modify routing policies affecting different Autonomous System numbers, address prefixes, or other routing parameters to select and/or shift egress traffic, that is associated with those routing parameters and that is about equal to the threshold amount of traffic, from the problematic path to a different path.
