Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling electric vehicle chargers using central control consoles for controlling and communicating with industrial equipment. The electric vehicle chargers operate as clients in a client-server configuration with a dedicated OCPP server. The OCPP server communicates with a control console using either of two communications paths—one path uses a direct HTTP connection with the control console. For this path, the control console operates as a web-enabled client. For the other path, multiple communications protocols are used and conversions between these protocols are effected using a conversion module and a MODBUS server. The MODBUS server communicates with the OCPP server. The MODBUS server also communicates with the control console by way of the conversion module and a control server. The control console is thereby able to control multiple pieces of industrial equipment along with the electric vehicle chargers without needing to be compliant with the OCPP protocol.

Abstract: Techniques for providing topic-based data routing in a publish-subscribe messaging environment are disclosed. In one example, a system supported by hardware in a publish-subscribe messaging environment may include a message broker to receive topic metadata at a first instance according to a first interval into a predefined fixed topic. Further, the system may include a topic list subscriber that subscribes to the predefined fixed topic and obtains a list of topics from the message broker. Furthermore, the system may include a subscription manager to assign topics in the list of topics to a set of subscribers according to a criteria. In one example, the message broker may route data corresponding to the topics to the set of subscribers in accordance with the topics assigned to the set of subscribers.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically load balancing traffic based on predicted and actual load capacities of data nodes are described herein. The techniques may include determining a predicted capacity of a data node of a network during a period of time. The data node may be associated with a first traffic class. The techniques may also include determining an actual capacity of the data node during the period of time, as well as determining that a difference between the actual capacity and the predicted capacity is greater than a threshold difference. Based at least in part on the difference, a number of data flows sent to the data node may be either increased or decreased. Additionally, or alternatively, a data flow associated with a second traffic class may be redirected to the data node during the period of time to be handled according to the first traffic class.

An exemplary embodiment can provide a subnet manager configured to operate within a subnet of a network fabric. The subnet can include a plurality of nodes, and the plurality of nodes can include at least one switch and a plurality of end-nodes, where the subnet manager executes on one of the plurality of nodes.

In response to the request, the subnet manager can request data from the data store to confirm that the end-port is a member of an admin partition and that the admin partition is associated with the data partition in which membership was requested.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a network burst load evacuation method for edge servers, which takes a time and average penalty function of all tasks performed by the edge system as a minimum optimization goal. This method not only takes into account the fairness of all users in the system, but also ensures that the unloading tasks of all users in the system can be completed in a relatively shortest time, and a new quantitative measure is proposed for improving user QoS response. In the implementation process of the algorithm in the present invention, a particle swarm algorithm is used to solve an optimal target of the system, This algorithm has a fast execution speed and high efficiency, and is especially suitable for a scene of an edge computing network system, so that when a sudden load occurs, an edge computing network system can respond in a very short time and complete the evacuation of the load, which greatly improves the fault tolerance and stability of the edge network environment.

Abstract: Techniques for routing in communications networks include determining a state of a destination node in a current routing table stored at a first node. A value for a reference cost to the destination node is determined based on a minimum cost to the destination in the current routing table. Based on the state, a request message is formed including a reference distance field to prevent loops, an originating node field, a destination field, and a previous hop field. The request message is sent to a different second node within range. A record that indicates the data in the request message is stored in a pending request table. A reply message is received in response to sending the request message. In response to receiving the reply message, the record in the pending request table is removed, and the current routing table is updated based on the reply message.

Abstract: A packet is received by a hypervisor from a first virtualized execution environment, the packet to be provided to a second virtualized execution environment. It is then determined whether the packet was successfully delivered to the second virtualized execution environment. In response to determining that the packet was not successfully delivered to the second virtualized execution environment, a network policy is identified that indicates whether to subsequently provide the packet to the virtualized execution environment. In response to the network policy indicating that the packet is to be subsequently provided, the packet is provided to the virtualized execution environment again.

Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to systems and methods for facilitating the process of joining a conference call within a conference environment. A conference call participant may initiate a conference call within a conference environment (e.g., a conference room), by causing the participant's client device to emit a unique audio tone (which may be human-audible or human-inaudible) that is detected by a call device within the conference room. The unique tone is indicative of unique conference call identification data, which may be utilized by the call device to initiate the conference call, without requiring additional user input by the conference call participant.

Abstract: A group-based communication platform is configured to detect one or more recurring calls performed via a calling system, such as an external calling platform, and to perform one or more follow-up actions upon detecting a recurring call. The group-based communication platform receives call data for one or more calls, such as previously completed calls or future scheduled calls. The group-based communication platform is further configured to identify user profiles associated with one or more calls, to thereby identify user profiles associated with one or more recurring calls. Thus, the one or more follow-up actions executed by the group-based communication platform for a recurring call is associated with one or more user profiles that are correlated with a recurring call.

Abstract: The systems and methods that maintain an IP address of a container when the container is moved from a first node to a second node in a data center are provided. Each node includes a local controller which is communicatively coupled to the central controller. The local controller generates an IP address for a container that executes on the first node. A label unique to the container is also generated on the first node. The local controller then synchronizes the IP address and the label of the container with the central controller. The central controller then passes the IP address and the label to the second node when the container is moved from the first node to the second node, and ensures that the IP address of the container remains the same before and after the move.
