Abstract: Many computing scenarios enable a user to send a message to a user expressing a statement, such as a “happy birthday” message or a “let's meet for lunch” message, and may seek assistance in composing the message. Some services may suggest stock messages, which the user may browse and select, but the generic, impersonal style of the messages may be apparent to the recipient. Presented herein are techniques for composing a message from a user to a recipient expressing a selected statement in the personalized style of the user. Such techniques involve evaluating an expression set (e.g., a mailbox or text message set) of the user to identify an expression style of the user when expressing such statements to such recipients, and composing a message that expressing the statement in the expression style of the user.

Abstract: At an intermediary dynamic host configuration protocol relay device, over a network, a dynamic host configuration protocol message is obtained from one of a plurality of remote dynamic host configuration protocol relay devices in communication with the intermediary dynamic host configuration protocol relay device over the network. The intermediary dynamic host configuration protocol relay device accesses data pertaining to a plurality of dynamic host configuration protocol back-end servers logically fronted by the intermediary dynamic host configuration protocol relay device. Based on information in the dynamic host configuration protocol message and the data pertaining to the plurality of dynamic host configuration protocol back-end servers, the dynamic host configuration protocol message is routed to an appropriate one of the plurality of back-end dynamic host configuration protocol servers.

Abstract: System and method of determining active/standby statuses of an intermediary device with respect to a logic group based on a user defined switchover policy. A user is allowed to configure a template to determine respective health levels for multiple sets of delivery resources. Each set of resources associated with a function engine residing in a respective intermediary device. The multiple sets of resources, in conjunction with the associated function engines, are equivalently operable to provide the same service function. The template may include user-specified events and respective weight factors. The specified events are monitored and a health score is dynamically derived for each delivery resource based on the template. Based on an updated health score rank with respect to the service function, a switchover may automatically occur from an intermediary device of a lower health score to another device with a higher health score.

Abstract: An automated lead management solution receives network traffic from a lead provider server over a network. The network traffic is authenticated, validated, and filtered. Specifically, an intelligent filter engine may filter the network traffic at different levels of granularity such as field, campaign, and tier levels and stop the filtering whenever the network traffic fails an authentication, is invalidated or filtered out. When a lead passes through this rigorous filtering process, the filter engine identifies target system(s) that best matched the lead and sends the lead and data identifying the target system(s) to a ping engine. The ping engine pings the target system(s) sequentially or simultaneously. A response from a target system, which may include an instruction and/or a network address to redirect the network traffic, is then communicated to the lead provider server in real time in response to receiving the network traffic from the lead provider server.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method are provided for operating a peer-to-peer communication environment. The environment includes one or more clusters of peer devices, wherein devices in a single cluster are organized into a logical hierarchy under an anchor master (at the root of the hierarchy) and any number of synchronization masters; other devices are non-master devices. Synchronization parameters established by the anchor master and disseminated throughout the hierarchy enable the clusters' devices to rendezvous, discover peers and services, and communicate among themselves. The anchor master may adjust the synchronization parameters to avoid conflict with another hierarchy. Each device issues beacons (e.g., heartbeats, discovery beacons) that identify the number of devices synchronized with the reporting device, which allows the anchor master to calculate the total number of cluster members. Devices may also report details of a neighboring cluster (e.g.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein provide an approach for using receive side scaling (RSS) offloads from a physical network interface controller (PNIC) to improve the performance of a virtual network interface controller (VNIC). In one embodiment, the PNIC is configured to write hash values it computes for RSS purposes to packets themselves. The VNIC then reads the hash values from the packets and places the packets into VNIC RSS queues, which are processed by respective CPUs, based on the hash values. CPU overhead is thereby reduced, as RSS processing by the VNIC no longer requires computing hash values. In another embodiment in which the number of PNIC RSS queues and VNIC RSS queues are identical, the VNIC may map packets from PNIC RSS queues to VNIC RSS queues using the PNIC RSS queue ID numbers, which also does not require the computing RSS hash values.
