Abstract: An example system to disable a promiscuous mode of a network interface includes a plurality of local network interfaces. Each local network interface of the plurality is coupled over a network to one or more remote network interfaces. Each remote network interface is assigned one or more remote network addresses, and the plurality includes a local network interface in a promiscuous mode. The system also includes a bridge module that determines whether a list of all remote network addresses that are coupled to a subset of local network interfaces is known. The subset includes the plurality of local network interfaces excluding the local network interface. When the list of all remote network addresses that are coupled to the subset is determined to be known, the bridge module disables the promiscuous mode of the local network interface and adds all remote network addresses that are coupled to the subset to a filtering table.

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 an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) 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 ESB 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 ESB 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 ESB server to the first application server.

Abstract: The technique introduced here involves using a block address and a corresponding generation number as a “fingerprint” to uniquely identify a sequence of data within a given storage domain. Each block address has an associated generation number which indicates the number of times that data at that block address has been modified. This technique can be employed, for example, to determine whether a given storage server already has the data, and to avoid sending the data to that storage server over a network if it already has the data. It can also be employed to maintain cache coherency among multiple storage nodes.

Abstract: A method for publishing the web sites on remote server using shared hosting in cases of unexpected server timeouts. A list of elements (work items) to be published is generated. The list is sorted out according to dependencies of elements from one another. Then, the work items are sorted out by the priority. The work item from the top of the list (with the highest priority) is processed first. After the work is performed with this work item, the work item is marked as closed if the process has executed successfully. Then, the process moves to the next work item and so on. The process has a library of the work items. Thus, in case of a server timeout, the process knows exactly which work items have been processed prior to the timeout and can start the processing from the next work item.

Abstract: A system and method for offloading augmented reality processing is described. A sensor external to a viewing device of a user tracks a location and an orientation of the viewing device. The location and orientation are defined relative to predefined references of a physical environment local to the user. A server receives a request from the viewing device to offload at least one of a tracking process and an augmented reality rendering process. The augmented reality rendering process is based on an augmented reality database. The server generates offloaded processed data based on the request and the location and the orientation of the viewing device. The offloaded processed data is streamed to the viewing device. A visualization of the offloaded processed data is generated in the viewing device.

Abstract: A method of operating a packet dropper in a congestion exposure-enabled network, wherein sending hosts and receiving hosts communicate with each other by sending flows of packets over network paths via intermediate routers, which, upon detecting congestion, mark packets of the flows as congestion packets, wherein congestion is indicated to the sending hosts by way of a congestion feedback mechanism, and wherein the sending hosts, upon receiving congestion indications, declare a subset of the packets they send as congestion response packets, thereby producing either conformant flows or non-conformant flows, depending on whether the amount of congestion response packets is balanced with the indicated congestion level or not, is characterized in that the packet dropper carries out in succession a series of traffic analyzing steps for identifying the non-conformant flows. Furthermore, a corresponding packet dropper for use in a congestion exposure-enabled network is described.
