Abstract: In some implementations, formation of loops between nodes in an RPL network may be avoided. A node that receives a neighbor-discovery message may determine, based on a parent-child status, whether the neighbor-discovery message was received from a parent of the node. If the neighbor-discovery message was received from the parent, the node may transmit an error code to the parent. In addition, the node may determine, based on a comparison of reliability rankings, whether the neighbor-discovery message was received from a node with relatively high reliability, such as a potential grandparent node. If the neighbor-discovery message was received from a high-reliability node, the node may transmit an error code to the high-reliability node. Furthermore, the node may reduce network traffic by withholding a neighbor-detection message from a child node. The node may transmit a response to neighbor-detection messages received from the child node.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for managing an application executing in a remote session. A user device (e.g., mobile device) creates a control communication session for an application executing within a remote session established between a remote application server and a client device. This application is being displayed by the client device. The user device receives metadata indicating a subset of user actions available from the application, and uses it to generate, for display on the user device, a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface is configured to, when activated by user input, inject input commands into the remote session for the application.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that can ensure content-related application programs can be reliably utilized. A client 11 reproduces content distributed from a content server 12 via a network 21, and if the content being reproduced is identified by an ACR server 13, a T/SS for managing an application relating to the identified content is acquired from a T/SS server 14, a predetermined application distributed from an application server 15 is acquired on the basis of the T/SS acquired, and the activation and so on of that application is managed, and the application can therefore be reliably utilized. The present technology can, for example, be applied to a content distribution system that distributes content and content-linked applications.

Abstract: Systems and methods associated with distributing an application's network interface over nodes of a networking fabric are presented. Nodes of the fabric can operate as interface modules, each taking on a role or responsibility for a portion of the application's network address including IP address, port assignments, or other portions of the network address. Interface modules of the networking nodes can then spoof or cloak the application to provide security against internal or external threats.

Abstract: Systems and methods for interconnecting point-to-point (P2P) (i.e. SIP/H323) and web browser compatible video conferencing services. The conference platform gatewaying service may use a virtual web browser participant to send and/or receive video and/or audio over VoIP/Video standards, such as SIP/H323 or other point-to-point protocols into a web browser compatible conference by means of a virtual web browser participant. The conference platform gateway service may create a binding between a SIP address and a web meeting URL. When communication is initiated from a compatible peer device to the gateway/server by means of a point-to-point protocol, the gateway/server establishes a connection to the web-based conference using the binding between URI and URL, and establishes a connection between the Point-to-point and Web browser compatible meeting service.

Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle registration are disclosed. A server computer and at least one database are constructed and configured for network communication with at least one vehicle. The at least one vehicle transmits a registration request to the server computer. The server computer assigns a unique registration ID for the at least one vehicle.

The connector may be an extensible program-code-template for creating objects to perform one or more operations. For example, each instance of the connector may obtain information regarding a corresponding target system, determine an interface to the corresponding target system based on the information, and translate requests for the corresponding target system according to the interface.

Abstract: Among other things, this document describes systems, methods and devices for performance testing and dynamic placement of computing tasks in a distributed computing environment. In embodiments, a given client request is forwarded up a hierarchy of nodes, or across tiers in the hierarchy. A particular computing node in the system self-determines to perform a computing task to generate (or help generate) particular content for a response to the client. The computing node injects its identifier into the response indicating that it performed those tasks; the identifier is transmitted to the client with particular content. The client runs code that assesses the performance of the system from the client's perspective, e.g., in servicing the request, and beacons this performance data, along with the aforementioned identifier, to a system intelligence component. The performance information may be used to dynamically place and improve the placement of the computing task(s).

Abstract: Delivery of high quality video in an adaptive bit rate (ABR) download session is achieved using obtained using lower quality communication paths. The method involves detecting that an ABR download session of a video is in a steady-state condition. If so a further determination is made as to whether there is sufficient pre-fetch time available to download an (N+1)th video segment of the video using at alternative connection path through a virtual WAN having a lower quality than a first connection path through the virtual WAN. If sufficient pre-fetch time is available, the (N+1)th video segment is prefetched using at least the second connection path instead of the first connection path.

The application server processes the graph data structure to determine a first-order transaction pair corresponding to a maximum transaction frequency based on a user identifier; executes a jumping probability algorithm to process the graph data structure to determine a second-order transaction pair jumping from a first-order transaction pair; and generates a transaction sequence associated with the user identifier.

Abstract: Implementations are provided herein for executive streaming data writes without duplication or loss. A client application and a pravega node can work to track where write data is, how much data has been written, and what specific data has been acknowledged by the pravega node as successfully written. In the event of an error or connection disruption, the client application can reconnect and determine how much data has been written and resend what data still needs to be written. The data can be written exactly once, and once written and acknowledged, will no longer be subject to data loss.

Abstract: Some examples relate to selection of a rendezvous point in an IP multicast network managing multicast group traffic. An example includes transmitting, from a controller in a cloud computing system, messages to a source device and a host device in an IP multicast-capable network, which may include two peer network devices that are virtualized to function as one virtual device. Based on the response to the messages, the controller may determine that the source device is present in OSI layer 3 and the host device is present in OSI layer 2. The controller may determine that the peer network are located downstream in relation to the determined layer of the source device. The controller may select a non-peer network device as a rendezvous point in the IP multicast-capable network. Further to the selection, the controller may synchronize an active-active configuration between the peer network devices.
