Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both.

Abstract: A messaging server establishes a video chat between first and second endpoints through a first and second router. In parallel, the messaging server transmits instructions to the first endpoint causing the first endpoint to transmit packets through a plurality of ports of the first router to a designated port of the second router. In addition, the messaging server transmits instructions to the second endpoint causing the second endpoint to transmit packets through a plurality of ports of the second router to a corresponding plurality of ports of the first router. A P2P connection is established between the first and second endpoints in response to a first port of the plurality of ports of the first router receiving a data packet from the designated port of the second router. The video chat is seamlessly transferred from the connection established through the messaging server to the established P2P connection.

Abstract: A Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) system reads, from a data bus coupled to the NFV system, Virtual Network Function (VNF) parameters published to the data bus by a new VNF. The NFV system publishes, to the data bus based on the VNF parameters, instructions to multiple components of the NFV system defining which VNF capabilities of the new VNF are to be managed, controlled, or monitored by which of the multiple NFV system components. The multiple components of the NFV system control, manage, or monitor the new VNF based on the published instructions. The data bus can include a Data Movement as a Platform (DMaaP) system that publishes and subscribes to streams of records.

Abstract: A relationship graph system disclosed herein provides a system and method for inferring relationships between various entities based on analysis of a plurality of observations including elements related to two different entities. The method comprises representing each of the plurality of observations using a relationship edge between two nodes, each of the two nodes representing an element related to one of the two different entities, assigning a score to each relationship edge based on metadata related to the observation represented by the relationship edge, combining a plurality of relationship edges between the elements related to the two different entities to generate an aggregate relationship edge between the two different entities, and inferring a relationship between the two different entities based on length of the aggregate relationship edge between the two different entities.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for multi-destination wireless transmissions are disclosed. An example method includes detecting, by executing an instruction via a processor, an offload indicator in a web request received from a computing device, the web request triggered by processing of a webpage at the computing device, determining, by executing an instruction via the processor, a function identified in the web request, the function included in the webpage, retrieving, by executing an instruction via the processor, the function from the webpage; and transmitting a result of execution of the function to the computing device in response to the web request.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and media for implementing a session sharing shared worker module are provided. A processor executes a first web application and a second web application within a web browser. The first web application is associated with a first tab and the second web application is associated with a second tab having different web content than the first tab. The processor determines whether a shared worker is available within the web browser. A session sharing module is configured to: register each of the first tab and the second tab with the shared worker based on determining that the shared worker is available within the web browser; receive a first request from the first tab to connect to a server and a second request from the second tab to connect to the server; combine the first request and the second request into one packaged request; and send the one packaged request to the server via one connection point.

Abstract: The present document describes a method (900) for establishing control information for a control policy of a client (102) for streaming data (103) from at least one server (101, 701). The method (900) comprises performing (901) a message passing process between a server agent of the server (101, 701) and a client agent of the client (102), in order to iteratively establish control information. Furthermore, the method (900) comprises generating (902) a convergence event for the message passing process to indicate that the control information has been established.

Abstract: A human interface technique is disclosed for industrial automation systems. The technique allows for visualizations to be distributed to interfaces, such as thin client interfaces, from automation components. For access to the content, a user may be initially authenticated in a first manner, such as by multi-factor authentication. Thereafter, or for a certain time or location, the user may be authenticated by a reduced number of factors, such as single-factor authentication. The authentication may be used to deliver the visualizations based on policies of a visualization manager, such as the user identification, the user role, the user location, and so forth. The reduced factor authentication allow for users to freely move and view visualizations on any available device, or at different locations, and so forth, but still based on the policies.

Abstract: Systems and methods directing requests to a particular node in a multi-tiered middleware environment are provided. In one embodiment, traffic requests can be dynamically routed to a desired server, and not be load balanced, based on an identification of the client generating the traffic requests.

Abstract: Processing video for low-bandwidth transmission may be complex. At a content source embodiment of methods disclosed herein may include assigning the content identifier as a function of content in a packet of a packet stream on a packet-by-packet basis. The method may further comprise forwarding the content identifier with the packet to enable a downstream network node or device to effect prioritization of the packet within the packet stream. The downstream network node or device may make drop decisions that are guided by a content identifier. Packets, or video frames that contain useful information may be prioritized and have a higher probability of being delivered.
