Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, a subscription based model may be used to manage the managed systems. The subscription model may utilize a highly accessible service to obtain information regarding capabilities of managed systems to present information regarding all potential solutions that the managed systems may provide. In some cases, subscription decisions may be based on inaccurate information. To reduce the impact of such decisions, entities that are more likely to have access to accurate information may elect to honor or reject subscription decisions made by entities that are more likely to have access to inaccurate information.

Abstract: A content delivery network may provide content items to requesting devices using a popularity-based distribution hierarchy. A central analysis system may determine popularity data for a content item stored in a first caching device. The central analysis system may determine that a change in the popularity data is beyond a threshold value. The central analysis system may then transmit an instruction to move the content item from the first caching device to a second caching device in a different tier of caching devices than the first caching device. The central analysis system may update a content index to indicate that the content item has been moved to the second caching device. A user device may be redirected to request the content item directly from the second caching device.

The first processing component may perform a switchover from the second processing component to the first processing component. The first processing component may determine current traffic data based on the residual statistics and the second traffic data. The current traffic data may be determined based on performing the switchover from the second processing component to the first processing component.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for session-based routing within Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model Layer-2 (L2) networks extended over Layer-3 (L3) networks. In one example, L2 networks connect a first client device to a first router and a second client device to a second router. An L3 network connects the first and second routers. The first router receives, from the first client device, an non-session-based L2 frame destined for the second client device. The first router forms an L3 packet comprising an L3 header specifying L3 addresses of the first and second routers and a protocol selected based on an L3 service for the L2 frame, a payload comprising the L2 frame, and metadata comprising a session identifier distinctly identifying the L2 frame, and forwards the L3 packet to the second router. The second router recovers the L2 frame from the payload and forwards the L2 frame to the second client device.

Abstract: A load control system may include a network of devices configured to communicate with one another. The load control system may include control devices configured to operate as a leader device or another router device on the network. The control device may process advertisement messages from other router devices in the network. The control device may receive advertisement messages from non-leader router devices and compare the device identifier and the sequence number in the advertisement messages with the device identifier and the sequence number in previously-received advertisement messages from the non-leader router devices. The control device may process each advertisement message received with a different sequence identifier or a different device identifier than previously received advertisement messages from the non-leader router devices.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for providing a MAC-based redistribution policy between networks in a multi-area network. A network can have a boundary node that communicates to neighboring networks. Boundary nodes can receive policy updates that identify which services are redistributable across network boundaries. Boundary nodes can receive a packet for a service, translate the packet's encapsulation, and forward the packet across the boundary towards a destination node. Boundary nodes can forward the packet such that it originates in the second network from a virtual node.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products that provide adversary detection and threat hunting. A server may comprise a user side virtual machine facing the cyber protection users, a collection virtual machine facing the at-risk network, and a data repository. The server may receive user requests requesting status data from the at-risk network via the user side virtual machine. The server may collect status data from the at-risk network via the collection virtual machine and store the collected data into the data repository. Different users may request duplicate information from the at-risk network. The server may retrieve the requested information from the data repository for duplicate requests and return the responses immediately for such requests. Because the server does not query the at-risk network for duplicate requests, the server may reduce the amount of bandwidth needed to acquire and distribute the requested information.
