Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface that includes an initiator device to determine a storage node associated with an access command based on an association between an address in the command and a storage node. The network interface can include a redirector to update the association based on messages from one or more remote storage nodes. The association can be based on a look-up table associating a namespace identifier with prefix string and object size. In some examples, the access command is compatible with NVMe over Fabrics. The initiator device can determine a remote direct memory access (RDMA) queue-pair (QP) lookup for use to perform the access command.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide a message relay service. The message relay service provides an application programming interface (API) with which messages can be sent and received without handling specific implementation details of a messaging system. When inbound messages are received, the message relay service may provide a push notification and/or may store the message for later access. In examples, one or more source addresses are used to send messages. If the client device indicates a group of addresses should be used, one address is selected from the group and used to send a message accordingly. In some examples, the message relay service determines that a messaging gateway need not be used to message a recipient address, and transmits the message without use of the messaging gateway. The same API may be used to send and receive messages across different messaging systems without a customer handling system-specific complexities.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for internet protocol (IP) warming is described. Some systems may send large volumes of communication messages from a single IP address. If the IP address does not have a strong sender reputation, these emails may be sent to spam folders or blocked, and the IP address may be blacklisted. To build a strong sender reputation, a user may implement an IP warming plan for the IP address. To support automated IP warming, an application may identify a target number of communication messages to transmit from the IP address, retrieve communication information for a target set of devices, generate, for the IP address, a set of transmission thresholds corresponding to a set of time durations for transmitting communication messages based on the target number of communication messages and the communication information, and transmit a set of communication messages based on the set of transmission thresholds.

Abstract: A messaging system includes sender and receiver devices, and a central unit communicating therewith. The central unit communicates with a database containing first data on graphic and audio elements, which are managed by the messaging system and have first dimensions and/or degrees of detail, and software that creates, starting from the first graphic and audio elements, corresponding second graphic and audio elements of smaller dimensions and/or degrees of detail. A first software module loaded in the sender and/or receiver devices downloads one or more of the second graphic and audio elements from the central unit and uses them inside the messaging system, and provides on a display of the messaging device a first screen with a message or exchange of messages and the one or more second graphic and audio elements, which occupy an area selectable by touch or by clicking.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing logical networking functionality for managed computer networks, such as for virtual computer networks provided on behalf of users or other entities. In some situations, a user may configure or otherwise specify a network topology for a virtual computer network, such as a logical network topology that separates multiple computing nodes of the virtual computer network into multiple logical sub-networks and/or that specifies one or more logical networking devices for the virtual computer network. After a network topology is specified for a virtual computer network, logical networking functionality corresponding to the network topology may be provided in various manners, such as without physically implementing the network topology for the virtual computer network. In some situations, the computing nodes may include virtual machine nodes hosted on one or more physical computing machines or systems, such as by or on behalf of one or more users.

Abstract: The invention is that of systems and methods for controllerless and distributed network connections to servers on a network by remote clients seeking their services. The invention comprises a server database where servers within a server group identified by a groupname may post unique identifiers (UIDs) for retrieval by group clients configured with the groupname, which may query the server database for server connection information such as uptime, downtime, and congestion in order to select a server for a preferential connection based on an overall availability profile as determined by the group client. The methods described herein eliminate a separate controller and thereby eliminate the single point of failure (SPOF) represented by connection controllers and load balancers in a network as are common in the current state of the art.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method includes identifying a target networking device communicatively connected to a cluster of networked server instances. The networked server instances are configured to consume network telemetry messages. The method further includes applying a shared lock to the target networking device, so that only a single networked server instance has access to network telemetry messages produced by the target networking device. The method also includes replicating the network telemetry messages produced by the locked target networking device to other server instances in the cluster, and then diverting requests for network telemetry messages from the locked target networking device to another server instance in the cluster of networked server instances. This allows the other server instance in the cluster to service the diverted telemetry data requests for the locked target networking device using the replicated network telemetry messages.

Abstract: A mobile edge computing system can utilize a server to host and partition user equipment data for a local area network. For example, a first mobile device can send partition data to the service, wherein the partition data is representative criteria associated with which data should be associated with a particular business entity. After the criteria is established, the server can enforce the criteria upon any mobile device that is within a defined geographic location subject to the criteria. When the criteria are enforced, the server device can determine how much data has been utilized against an account of the business entity.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for managing concurrent requests from clients for services. Client computing devices may be permitted to use available capacity beyond their assigned quotas. When backpressure exists and/or when a total quantity of current connections associated with a service is greater than or equal to a total connection threshold, connections with a client exceeding a proportion of excess capacity may be closed before connections with a client not exceeding a proportion of excess capacity.
