Abstract: A system for streaming packet captures over the Internet includes multiple network access devices, each operating as one of a gateway device, a wireless access point, and a network switch, and a management server communicatively coupled to the network access devices over the Internet for managing the network access devices. The management server maintains a persistent hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) connection with each of the network access devices over the Internet. The management server is to generate a bytecode based on a filtering expression for packet captures (PCAPs) representing one or more PCAPs filtering rules, transmit the bytecode to the network access devices without requiring the network access devices to compile the PCAPs filtering rules, receive PCAPs from the network access devices captured by the network access devices based on the PCAPs filtering rules, and merge the PCAPs received from the network access devices into merged PCAPs.

Abstract: A system and method for offloading augmented reality processing is described. A first sensor of a server generates a first set of sensor data corresponding to a location and an orientation of a display device. The server receives a request from the display device to offload a combination of at least one of a tracking process and a rendering process from the display device. The server generates offloaded processed data based on a combination of at least one of the first set of sensor data and a second set of sensor data. The second set of sensor data is generated by a second sensor at the display device. The server streams the offloaded processed data to the display device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a portable, networked, computing device comprises a processor, a plurality of radios, and a memory. The device may be operable to pair, by at least one of the radios, with a device associated with a user. The device may then monitor, by one of the radios, a signal for a connection established with a first network. When the device determines that the signal for the first network has dropped below a threshold level of quality, it may enable access point mode for at least one of the paired devices by turning on a radio to establish a connection with a second network and thereby providing connectivity to the second network for the at least one of the paired devices. If multiple networks are available, the device may select an optimal network based on an assessment of one or more factors.

Abstract: A distributed monitoring system and a computer-implemented method monitors and controls locally situated network components through a monitoring and control device or processor querying the network component operating parameters and sending control commands for controlling the parameters queried. Reports of the status of the monitored network components are periodically generated from throughout the network and sent to a remotely located status viewing station configured to generate a monitoring interface and display the operational status of the network based on the status reports. If necessary, the status viewing station automatically transmits instructions, or a user enters instructions into the status viewing station, for instructing action be taken by the monitoring and control device or processor, e.g., to adjust one or more operating parameters queried. The distributed monitoring system may be particularly useful in monitoring and managing the health of a digital signage network.

Abstract: Communication traffic processing architectures and methods are disclosed. Processing load on main Central Processing Units (CPUs) can be alleviated by offloading data processing tasks to separate hardware.

Abstract: Remote computing resource service providers allow customers to execute virtual computer systems in a virtual environment on hardware provided by the computing resource service provider. The virtual computer systems may be suspended for an indeterminate amount of time and saved as images in one or more storage systems of the service provider. Periodically, updates for the virtual computer systems are required. In order to update virtual computer systems that are stored in a suspended state, an offline patch and indirection map is generated and used to update the virtual computer systems.

Abstract: In some implementations, a service provider may enable location-based interaction of a user of a device with at least one of a digital work or another user. For instance, when the service provider determines that the device of the user is at a particular physical location, the service provider may send a communication to notify the user that one or more digital works are available to be accessed at the current physical location of the device. As one example, a digital work may have been virtually left at the location by another user, and the digital work may be available to be accessed by the user currently at the location. As another example, the user may be attending an event and the service provider may offer a digital work related to the event when the user is determined to be at the location of the event.

The authentication may be achieved without directly assessing a trustworthiness of the user devices, and optionally, without requiring a user thereof to complete a sign-on operation.

Abstract: The present application is directed towards systems and methods for configuring and applying autoscaling to a service group of an intermediary device for a domain based server. All the IP addresses resolved by the domain name of the server and that are determined as up will automatically become members of the service group. The resolver monitor will resolve the server's domain name based on the TTL (Time to Live) value in the address record or whenever the appropriate command is executed. Each time the domain is resolved, if there is a change in the number of IP addresses resolved, then the members of the service group will shrink or expand based on the number of IP addresses resolved.

Abstract: A method and system for exchanging information between processing servers. Both a processing request for a processing of data and a first key identifying the processing of data are received at a middleware server from a first application server. In response to receiving both the processing request and the first key, the processing request and a second key are sent from the middleware server to a second application server. The second key differs from the first key. After sending the processing request and the second key to the second application server, an acceptance response indicating that the processing request has been accepted by the second server is received by the middleware server from the second application server. In response to receiving the acceptance response from the second application server, the acceptance response is sent by the middleware server to the first application server.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for restoring virtual machines. A described technique includes receiving location data specifying a location of a mobile device of a user. A first distance between the mobile device and a first data center that stores a virtual machine template and a snapshot associated with the user is determined. The snapshot represents a state of a virtual machine. A second distance between the mobile device and a second data center that is different from the first data center is determined. A determination is made that the mobile device of the user is closer to the second data center than the first data center. In response to determining that the mobile device is closer to the second data center than the first data center, the snapshot is transferred from the first data center to the second data center.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting and reducing data transfer congestion in a wireless access point includes determining a round-trip-time value for an internet control message protocol (ICMP) packet transmitted from a source computing device to a first computing device of a plurality of computing devices via the wireless access point. A data rate for data transmissions from the source computing device is increased to a value no greater than a peak data rate value if the round-trip-time is less than a first threshold value. The data rate is decreased if the round-trip-time value is greater than a second threshold value. Additionally, the peak data rate value may also be decreased if the round-trip-time value is greater than the second threshold value.

Abstract: A system may receive information indicating that an amount of content, buffered by a user device, is below a threshold amount that is associated with an attribute of the content; and/or information indicating that delivered content exceeds capabilities of the user device. The content may be provided to the user device by a content delivery network (“CDN”). The system may determine whether the CDN has available resources to provide the content to the user device at a bandwidth that is based on the attribute; instruct, when the CDN has the available resources, the CDN to reallocate resources to provide the content to the user device at the particular bandwidth; and switch, when the CDN does not have the available resources, delivery of the content to another CDN. The system may have a global of view of CDNs, and may reallocate CDN resources more intelligently, thus optimizing network resource utilization.
