Abstract: In one embodiment, a service in a network computes an expected information gain associated with rerouting traffic from a first tunnel onto a backup tunnel in the network. The service initiates, based on the expected information gain, rerouting of the traffic from the first tunnel onto the backup tunnel. The service obtains performance measurements for the traffic rerouted onto the backup tunnel. The service uses the performance measurements to train a machine learning model to predict whether rerouting traffic from the first tunnel onto the backup tunnel will satisfy a service level agreement (SLA) of the traffic.

Abstract: A method for data processing may include receiving a communication from a parent span, the communication including a data portion and a header portion.

Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) is used in IMS in order to provide a mechanism to forward (Internet Protocol) IP packets and provide a simplified solution to the complex signaling path of IMS according to directives from an SDN Controller. SDN is used in at least three particular scenarios. In the first scenario, communications are simplified using SDN directed signaling disaggregation. In the second scenario, SDN is used to direct media function chaining. In the third scenario, the system can be used as an SDN based media relay.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide a co-managed configuration service. A network device stores parameters for the co-managed configuration service. The parameters identify exposed services for an enterprise network that uses devices from a network service provider. The network device receives, via a customer portal, a vendor-agnostic change request for the enterprise network. The change request includes a user role and a change request name for one of the exposed services. The network device authenticates the change request based on the user role and the change request name and retrieves vendor director information for an SDN device implementing the configuration change. The network device invokes, in response to the change request, the configuration change for the enterprise network based on the vendor director information.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for assuring tenant forwarding in a network environment. Network assurance can be determined in layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3 of the networked environment including, internal-internal (e.g., inter-fabric) forwarding and internal-external (e.g., outside the fabric) forwarding in the networked environment. The network assurance can be performed using logical configurations, software configurations and/or hardware configurations.

Abstract: System performance of a first information handling system may be adjusted based on system usage. Performance parameters may be determined by a second information handling system based on the system usage and may be used, by the first information handling system, to adjust system performance. Configuration of the first information handling system may thus be distributed to two or more tiers. The second information handling system can be more efficient with determining operating parameters for the first information handling system when the second system is not power limited, as when the first information handling system is a mobile device.

Abstract: In implementations of a visitor engagement detection and control system for online sessions with a listing platform, a computing device implements a visitor engagement system to monitor user actions by the visitors with items listed by the listing platform, and map the user actions and the items listed by the listing platform to a timeline of the online session. An engagement module determines levels of visitor engagement in the online session based on the mapping of the user actions and the items, and initiates communication with a low-engagement visitor during the online session to increase an engagement level of the low-engagement visitor. In some cases, a communication is then established between the low-engagement visitor and a different low-engagement visitor, an engaged visitor, or an administrator of the listing platform.
