Abstract: A network system for managing a network-based service (e.g., an on-demand transport service) is configured to pre-compute, based on historical data, a plurality of service metrics that are maintained in a searchable database. In response to user interaction with a user application to view available service options, the user application can cause session data indicating start and service locations to be transmitted to the network system. In response, the network system can translate the start and service locations to a first and second search keys, respectively. The search keys can be used to query the database for the relevant service metric for the session. The network system can transmit the relevant service metric to the user device to enable the user device to display information relating to the session (e.g., a price for requesting the network-based service) that is based at least in part on the relevant service metric.

Abstract: In an approach, a processor retrieves an indication of a plurality of service computing systems storing corresponding information bunches, pertaining to a subject, that are available to a third party. A processor collects the corresponding information bunches from the service computing systems. A processor generates enriched information pertaining to the subject according to a combination of the corresponding information bunches. A processor verifies the enriched information against a security rule. A processor outputs a result of the verification of the enriched information to the subject.

Abstract: This application provides example data transmission methods and corresponding example devices. One example method includes sending, by a first device, a first packet to a second device, where the first packet includes transmission policy negotiation information, and where the transmission policy negotiation information is used to negotiate a transmission policy used when the second device uses a multipath connection. The first device can then receive a second packet from the second device, where the second packet includes first policy information, and where the first policy information indicates a transmission policy used when the second device uses the multipath connection. The first device can then transmit data with the second device based on the first policy information by using a transmission policy corresponding to the first policy information.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance failover operations in a cloud computing environment. In one implementation, a method of operating a first service instance in a cloud computing environment includes obtaining a communication from a computing asset, wherein the communication comprises a first destination address. The method further provides replacing the first destination address with a second destination address in the communication, wherein the second destination address comprises a shared address for failover from a second service instance. After replacing the address, the method determines whether the communication is permitted based on the second destination address, and if permitted, processes the communication in accordance with a service executing on the service instance.

Abstract: An online system selects information about entities for display to viewing users based on the relevance of the information to the viewing users. The online system maintains information describing one or more third parties. The online system receives a request from a client device to provide a content item of a third party for display to a viewing user. Responsive to the request, the online system accesses information describing the third party and selects a subset of information based on a likelihood that the viewing user will interact with the content item based on the subset of information. The online system generates a content item including the selected subset of information and an element selectable to initiate an interaction with the third party and provides the generated content item to the client device for display to the viewing user.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel method of performing network slice-based operations on a data message at a hardware forwarding element (HFE) in a network. For a received data message flow, the method has the HFE identify a network slice associated with the received data message flow. This network slice in some embodiments is associated with a set of operations to be performed on the data message by several network elements, including one or more machines executing on one or more computers in the network. Once the network slice is identified, the method has the HFE process the data message flow based on a rule that applies to data messages associated with the identified slice.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing escorted-access management based on an escort-admin session engine are provided. The escort-admin session engine approves an external administrator's access to a resource instance based on a service team policy, while approving an escort operator to escort the external administrator in an escort-admin session that provides access to the resource. In operation, an external administrator's request for access to a resource is evaluated based on the service team policy that is managed by a service team. The request is approved with access rights to the resource identified in the policy. An escort operator is identified for the external administrator. The escort operator is approved to escort the external administrator for access to the resource during an escort-admin session. The escort-admin session includes an escort operator context referring to the escort operator having access rights based on the access rights approved using the policy.

Abstract: An exemplary client virtualization system implemented by a multi-access server receives a service request from an Internet of Things (“IoT”) device that is separate from and communicatively coupled to the multi-access server. In response to the service request, the client virtualization system instantiates a virtualized device management client configured to serve the IoT device and that is hosted on the multi-access server. The client virtualization system receives a device management message that is for the IoT device and that is from a centralized device management server. The client virtualization system then delivers the device management message to the IoT device. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
