Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a network controller that manages multiple managed forwarding elements (MFEs) that implement multiple logical networks. The method stores (i) a first data structure including an entry for each logical entity in a desired state of the multiple logical networks and (ii) a second data structure including an entry for each logical entity referred to by an update for at least one MFE. Upon receiving updates specifying modifications to the logical entities, the method adds separate updates to separate queues for the MFEs that require the update. The separate updates reference the logical entity entries in the second data structure. When the second data structure reaches a threshold size in comparison to the first data structure, the method compacts the updates in at least one of the queues so that each queue has no more than one update referencing a particular logical entity entry.

Abstract: A data storage system including a data storage device located on a first network and configured to download data from a network site based on universal resource locator (“URL”) information of the network site, and an electronic device located on a second network different than the first network. The electronic device determines the URL information of the network site, receives user authentication data, receives a network address of the data storage device from a server using the user authentication data, and transmits the URL information to the data storage device using the network address of the data storage device. This causes the data storage device to download data from the network site contingent on correct user authentication being provided.

Abstract: A method includes receiving from a transmitting data interface, a data stream mapping of a data input into data shards for transmission in a data stream over a data stream communication channel. Data capacity for a data producing software application from a plurality of data producing software applications is adjusted by increasing or decreasing a number of data shards in the data stream assigned to the data producing software application. An updated data stream mapping of the data input into the plurality of data shards is generated by updating a start hash key and an end hash key in a range for each of the data shards assigned to the data producing software application. The updated data stream mapping is sent to the transmitting data interface for adjusting the data capacity in the data stream transmitted over the data stream communication channel of the data producing software application.

The at least one geofence comprises a multiplicity of geographic designators with each geographic designator assigned with a unique IPv6 address. The at least one device receives at least one notification signal regarding the at least one rule from the at least one server platform and implements the at least one rule when the at least one device is within a predetermined distance from the at least one geofence for the region of interest.

Abstract: In some examples, aggregation-based speed testing may include ascertaining, by a test speed analyzer, a test speed that corresponds to a maximum specified data transfer rate for a data transmission link. A test range generator may determine a maximum specified port speed of a test port of a device connected to the data transmission link. The test range generator may determine whether the maximum specified port speed is less than the test speed, and if so, divide the test speed into a plurality of test ranges. A total value of the test ranges may be equal to the test speed. A test performer may perform tests corresponding to the test ranges, and obtain intermediate test results. A test result generator may generate, based on aggregation of the intermediate test results, an aggregated test result that represents an actual speed associated with the data transmission link.

Abstract: In some examples, a server may determine that a case, created to address an issue of a computing device, is closed and perform an analysis of a communication session between a user and a technician and the steps taken by the technician to resolve the issue. Machine learning may be used on results of the analysis to predict potential pain points. For example, steps that take longer than average and during which particular words spoken by the user increase in pitch and/or volume may be predicted to be potential pain points. The machine learning may create questions for inclusion in a custom survey based on the potential pain points. The custom survey may be presented to the user. The answers may be correlated with the potential pain points to determine actual pain points in the steps taken to resolve the issue.
