Abstract: Active Directory (AD) configuration file management described herein provides technical solutions for technical problems facing management of Linux/Unix and other Unix-like open source operating systems that use configuration files to manage systems, resources, and settings. This configuration file management may use a network-internal AD Group Policy Object (GPO) to manage these configuration files, where the configuration file management may convert the configuration files into GPOs for deployment via the AD. The use of GPO-based configuration files via AD provides the ability to manage external Linux/Unix systems. When the configuration file management agent detects a change, the configuration file is replaced with a known good configuration file based on the criterion GPO or criterion configuration file. This provides persistence of the configuration GPO and the corresponding Linux/Unix system configuration, such as to implement and enforce information security.

Abstract: An example controller node may, responsive to receiving a resource request from a client device, deploy a compute node for execution on a particular data center selected from data centers within a distributed computing system, and store at least one address assigned to the compute node in a node inventory data store. After storing the at least one address, and responsive to determining that the compute node is not accessible using the at least one address the controller node may determine, based on information received from the particular data center, that the compute node is still available for execution on the particular data center, and receive, from the particular data center, at least one updated address assigned to the compute node. The controller node may then update the node inventory data store to store the at least one updated address that is assigned to the compute node.

Abstract: Devices in enterprise-scale networks are often tracked by asset catalogs that record the physical locations of respective devices. Such tracking often involves administratively heavy communication of device deployment, and communication or recording errors may lead to missing catalog entries or entries that incorrectly identify the physical locations of the devices. Instead, a MAC address encoding may be established that maps physical locations to particular MAC addresses, such as representing a building, floor, room, row, and rack of a device in the second through sixth MAC address octets. A locator device with a network adapter featuring a selected MAC address that encodes a particular physical address may be inserted into a network device at the physical location. The physical location of the network device may thereafter be queried for the MAC addresses of connected devices, and the selected MAC address may be translated into the physical location of the network device.

Abstract: An indication to share a content item associated with a residential cache appliance and a first social networking account is received. A network address of the residential cache appliance is associated with the content item. A cache map of available residential cache appliances is maintained to implement a distributed cache store. For one or more of the available residential cache appliances, the cache map identifies at least an associated social networking account, an associated network address, associated cache appliance stored content items, and an associated setting. From a requester device associated with a second social networking account, a request for the content item is received. In response to the request, based at least in part on the cache map, the requester device is directed to the residential cache appliance to obtain at least a portion of the content item.

Abstract: Disclosed is a client-server editing model to provide a client side interface to a server side multi-document editor (multi-edit capability) that may be used for editing multiple configuration documents (e.g., device configurations represented as documents) simultaneously. The sever side component may maintain information relating to multiple configuration documents by parsing a plurality of different network device configuration documents to create a set of slots and anchor points relative to locations of related parameter settings within each of the different network device configuration documents. The server side may transmit a condensed view of an area of interest to a remote client device along with location information that may be used to reverse map to original documents. Upon receiving user input a change may be implemented. Throughout the editing session data provided to a client side application could be logically compressed to avoid redundant information from multiple sources being provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for provisioning a common subnet across a number of subscribers and their respective virtual networks using dynamically generated network policies that provide isolation between the subscribers. The dynamic generation of the network policies is performed when a host (e.g. client) is detected (via a switch) as the host joins the computing network via virtual networks. This ability to configure a common subnet for all the subscriber virtual networks allows these subscribers to more easily access external shared services coming from a headquarter site while keeping the separation and segmentation of multiple subscriber virtual networks within a single subnet. This allows the Enterprise fabric to be more simple and convenient to deploy without making security compromises.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling one-way video calling are disclosed. The system can enable user equipment (UE) with varying capabilities to communicate in an asymmetrical manner. A UE receiving an incoming two-way video call can request that the call be “downgraded” to a one-way video-in call, a one-way video-out call, or even an audio-only call. The system can include a multi-way video graphical user interface (GUI) to enable the user to choose between accepting an incoming two-way video call or requesting a different type of call (e.g., a one-way video call or an audio-only call). The system can also include a call initiation GUI to enable users to select between two-way video, one-way video, or audio-only for outbound calls. The system can also include a call modification GUI to enable users to modify the parameters for an incoming call prior to initiating the call.

Abstract: Content management in a collaboration system. Ease-of-use of shared content is facilitated. A URL is presented in a user interface. The system determines (e.g., based on user preferences) whether to display the content corresponding to the URL in a browser at the user device, or whether to display the content corresponding to the URL using a non-browser application. If the user device is configured to display the content corresponding to the URL using a non-browser application, then when the user clicks or touches or hovers, or otherwise indicates a selection of a URL, the system displays the content using the non-browser application. In this situation, the system retrieves the content from the collaboration system, stores a local instance of the content in local storage of the user device, and opens the local instance using the non-browser application. Local instance edits are synchronized with the collaboration system using a synchronization protocol.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a first computing device detects a loss of a connection to a first source of timing information that the first computing device and a second computing device use to maintain synchronization with a first clock and a second clock. The first computing device receives a second source of timing information from the second computing device. The second source of timing information is also being transmitted to a third computing device. The first computing device uses the second source of timing information to determine a first timestamp and determines a second timestamp from the first clock. The first computing device uses the first timestamp and the second timestamp to adjust a rate of the first clock where the first clock is used to transmit the second source of timing information from the second computing device to the third computing device.

Abstract: The subject technology provides a messaging application in which an image can be captured and supplemented with supplemental content such as stickers, animations, etc., from within an active messaging thread. In this manner, a user participating in a messaging conversation with a remote user can add stickers, animations, and/or adaptive content to an image captured by the user, without having to locally cache/store the captured image before editing and without having to leave the messaging conversion (or the messaging application) to access an image editing application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting a gesture made via a display of a first computing device during display of a message comprising first media content, determining that the gesture triggers a second graphical user interface to respond to the message by opening a camera view to capture a second media content, and based on determining that the gesture triggers the second graphical user interface, causing the second graphical user interface to display on the display of the first computing device comprising the camera view. The systems and methods further provide for detecting capture of the second media content via the second graphical user interface comprising the camera view and sending a reply message comprising the second media content in response to the first message.

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.
