Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method and computer readable storage medium for enabling access control to be performed on messages received in a first-party (corporate) data center from a third-party (cloud) data center. Based on a received update request from an update service in the third-party (cloud) data center, an access control system (“ACL”) controller generates an ACL entry for enabling access to a first-party (corporate) data center from a system, within the third-party data center where a system configuration change was performed by a cloud platform. The ACL controller then transmits the ACL entry to one or more devices within the first-party data center, enabling access from the updated system hosted in the third-party data center.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for generating meeting insights based on media data and device input data. For example, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed system utilizes analyzes media data including audio data or video data and inputs to client devices associated with a meeting to determine a portion of the meeting (e.g., a portion of the media data) that is relevant for a user. In response to determining a relevant portion of the meeting, the system generates an electronic message including content related to the relevant portion of the meeting. The system then provides the electronic message to a client device of the user. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the system generates a meeting summary, meeting highlights, or action items related to the media data to provide to the client device of the user.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present application disclose an acquisition method, apparatus, device and storage medium for applet data, relating to the technical field of the IoT, which are specifically implemented by: establishing a network connection with a data server according to an interface address of the data server corresponding to the applet when a trigger operation for starting the applet is detected; sending a data request message to the data server directly through the pre-established network connection after the applet is started, and receiving, from the data server, a data response message that contains requested data. Therefore, excessive time consumption caused by failing to pre-establish network connection before the first data request is sent can be avoided, and the acquisition efficiency of applet data can be improved.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards communication network application programming interface (API) promulgation. Using the techniques herein, APIs can be hosted at different locations within a network in a transitory manner, shifting from one location to the next. Furthermore, API configurations can change over time, in order to provide enhanced API security and/or to meet different expected needs of client equipment. An API manager can select network equipment to host APIs, in order to move the APIs between different network locations. A floater application within the core network can support the movement of the APIs by creating secure tunnels between the selected network equipment and the core network.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards automatically detecting failure states and the cause of the failure. For a network, the technology collects status messages from equipment and customers into batches as they occur. The technology groups and aggregates messages, then transforms the aggregations to the frequency domain. Anomalies induce detectable changes in the particle distribution of a trained particle filter, from which an anomalous spectrogram is generated. The status messages of each device are iteratively removed from the larger set of messages, resulting in reduced subsets that are each aggregated, transformed into a modified spectrogram and compared against the anomalous spectrogram to obtain a distance score. The distance score for each device is used to rank the devices with respect to being the cause of the failure.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device of a first security type obtains an application message for an application transaction along with a transaction ID. The device inserts an instruction related to the application transaction into a first header of the application message, and sends the application message downstream. The device may then receive an application response message from a downstream device in response to the application message, the downstream device of a second security type different from the first security type, the application response message having a reply to the instruction in a second header of the application response message and the transaction ID correlating the application response message to the application transaction. As such, the device may then perform one or more reactive actions in response to the reply to the instruction. In another embodiment, the downstream device conversely receives the instruction and inserts the reply.

Responsive to one of the plurality of display names matching a display name of a private e-mail address of the user as a destination of e-mail along with surpassing a threshold amount of data transfer, the user is flagged for possible data exfiltration.

Abstract: A content delivery network (CDN) comprises a set of edge servers, and a domain name service (DNS) that is authoritative for content provider domains served by the CDN. The CDN is extended into one or more mobile or wireline networks that cannot or do not otherwise support fully-managed CDN edge servers. In particular, an “Extender” is deployed in the mobile or wireline network, preferably as a passive web caching proxy that is beyond the edge of the CDN but that serves CDN-provisioned content under the control of the CDN. The Extender may also be used to transparently cache and serve non-CDN content. An information channel is established between the Extender and the CDN to facilitate the Extender functionality.

Abstract: Embodiments of the specification disclose example methods and devices for broadcasting messages. One example method includes obtaining a first broadcast message by a first consensus node of a blockchain network. The first consensus node creates a first thread for a first message processing device corresponding to the first consensus node. The first consensus node sends the first broadcast message to the first message processing device by using the first thread. The first message processing device sends the first broadcast message to a second message processing device corresponding to a second consensus node. The first consensus node cancels the first thread.

Abstract: A logical module, referred as Load Balancer Module (LBM), is disclosed which listens to one of certain common predefined port number. These well-known ports for receiving communication video conference signaling and control protocols is thereafter load balanced and multi-plexed to a number of instances of protocol stack applications. By balancing the multi-media data stream across a multitude of application instances multiple multi-media data streams may be serviced and processed by a single internet protocol host processor. A mutipoint control unit (MCU) may therefore process multiple input data streams containing multi-media video conferencing information.

Abstract: An open-loop control assistance (“OLCA”) system can collect data, correlate and aggregate the data, and perform multi-dimensional analytics on the correlated and aggregated data. The OLCA system can then determine plurality of viable options for a next action to be taken by an operator in an open-loop control process, and can determine a specific option as an optimal choice for the operator to select. The OLCA system can present the plurality of viable options and a rationale explaining why the operator should select the specific option. The OLCA system can capture action(s) taken by the operator, and if the action does not correspond to the recommended action, the OLCA system can capture a reason regarding why the optimal choice was not selected. The OLCA system can analyze results from the action(s). The OLCA system can then fine-tune the open-loop control process based upon the results and the cause(s) thereof.
