An exemplary method embodiment of operating a Session Border Controller (SBC) includes, receiving, at the SBC, an initial offer message from a first user equipment device directed to a second user equipment device, said initial offer message including one or more candidate addresses for the first user equipment device; and establishing a data path between the SBC and the second user equipment device in response to receiving said initial offer message prior to establishing a data session between the first user equipment device and the session border controller.

Abstract: A Chassis Baseboard Management Controller (CBMC) includes at least one memory for storing data related to a plurality of microservers in a server chassis. A request is received from a remote device for microserver hostnames to build a locality map for a storage or processing pool in a distributed storage or processing network. A device slot number corresponding to a physical location of the microserver in the server chassis is determined for each microserver. The determined device slot number is appended to a chassis hostname to create respective microserver hostnames. According to one aspect, a microserver hostname is received from a CBMC and stored in a memory of a ?BMC of a microserver. The microserver hostname is retrieved from the memory by a processor of the microserver during a boot sequence. The retrieved microserver hostname is set as a hostname for communicating via at least one network interface.

Abstract: An enterprise network may be managed by enabling provision of a graphical user interface that shows IP address allocations for the network and that allows a user to configure DHCP scopes, receiving a DHCP scope request based on a user interaction with the graphical user interface, translating the request into a protocol for communicating with a DHCP control server, providing the translated request to the DHCP control server for processing at the DHCP control server, and updating configurations of multiple DHCP servers. The updated configurations may be sent from the DHCP control server to a configuration storage system and the multiple DHCP servers may be enabled to access the updated configurations from the configuration storage system.

Abstract: To provide greater efficiency in connecting and establishing communicational equipment, the communicational system type can be automatically detected and the communicational equipment can configure itself in accordance with the automatically detected communicational type. Additionally, to accommodate dynamic reconfiguration, or changes to the communicational type after an initial configuration, the communicational type can be automatically monitored and the communicationally equipment automatically reconfigured if changes are detected. Different sets of comparator circuitry can be utilized to compare the voltages observed at known inputs to known thresholds of different communicational types to automatically detect the communicational type being utilized by existing equipment to which the newly-connected equipment is communicationally coupled.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable synchronized encoding of streaming audio or video content between multiple encoders, in a manner that provides for seamlessly interchangeable encodings. Within a pool of encoders, each encoder can periodically generate state information regarding its state of encoding, and share that state information with other encoders. The other encoders can compare the state information to their current state, to determine whether a desynchronization has occurred. When a desynchronization does occur, such as due to intermittent network packet loss, the encoders within the pool can evaluate the shared state information to determine an authoritative state, and then resynchronize to the authoritative state, resulting in identical or interchangeable encoded content being output from each encoder of the pool.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to processing element host management in a stream computing environment having a pool of compute nodes to host a set of processing elements. A set of processing element placement criteria may be identified for the pool of compute nodes with respect to processing element placement on the pool of compute nodes. A set of processing element profile data may be detected for the set of processing elements with respect to processing element placement on the pool of compute nodes. By comparing the set of processing element profile data and the set of processing element placement criteria, a placement arrangement for the set of processing elements on the pool of compute nodes may be determined. Based on the placement arrangement, the set of processing elements may be established on the pool of compute nodes.

Abstract: A method for control in a process control system, where a graphical user interface of said process control system is arranged with graphic representations of one or more control objects for monitoring and/or control of a process or an equipment. The control system GUI is displayed by a control system client application on a computer or workstation. In addition, one or more applications for monitoring and/or controlling at least one said control object are run in a computing process environment separate from said process control system. No code components execute in the same processing space as that running the GUI for the process control system. Any flaw or error in the extended applications cannot affect the control system program controlling an industrial process in real-time. A control system and a computer program are also disclosed.

Abstract: A first index to a media content item and a second index to the media content item are stored on a media device. Each first index specifies a location in the media content item at which user input was received to skip a portion of the media content item. Each second index specifies a location in the media content item at which user input was received to resume playback of the media content item. A skip start index for the media content item is identified based on the first indexes. A skip end index for the media content item is identified based on the second indexes. A request for playback of an instance of the media content item is received. The instance of the media content item can be played skipping a portion of the instance of the media content item between the skip start and skip end indexes.

Abstract: Techniques for content deployment, scaling and telemetry are described herein. Once a content item is made accessible for deployment, one or more instances of the content item may be installed as an image on a virtual machine instance. Additional instances of the content item may then be launched on the same virtual machine instance and/or by copying the image onto any number of additional virtual machine instances. One or more instances of a content item may be configurable to execute with multiple simultaneously assigned users sessions. Information associated with content item instances may be collected, such as a number of occupied user sessions, a number of unoccupied user sessions, content item instance duration, memory usage, and the like. This information may, in some cases, be used to match and assign authorized users to appropriate content item instances.

Abstract: In a data processing system, a received data stream comprises a plurality of tuples having respective key values. The received data stream is separated into portions that are delivered to respective ones of a first set of servers in a manner that permits different tuples having the same key value to be processed by different servers of the first set. For each distinct key value, each of at least a subset of the servers of the first set maintains a corresponding partial key result based on one or more of the tuples having that key value that are received by that server. The partial key results are periodically delivered from the servers of the first set to servers of a second set of servers in a manner that ensures that different partial key results having the same key value are processed by the same server of the second set.
