Abstract: A controller includes a transceiver to establish a first session with a route reflector and monitor advertisements received by the route reflector from nodes in a network via second sessions established between the nodes and the route reflector. The controller also includes a processor to generate forwarding instructions for the nodes based on the advertisements. The forwarding instructions indicate one or more routes from a root node to one or more leaf nodes of a service. The transceiver provides the forwarding instructions to the root node. In some cases, the first session is established according to the border gateway protocol (BGP) and the one or more second sessions are established according to the BGP. The controller determines that the one or more leaf nodes are registered for one or more virtual private network (VPN) services based on the advertisements.

Abstract: A processor generates an abstract topology that represents domains in an actual topology of a network and border routers that interconnect the domains in the actual topology. The processor prunes, based on the abstract topology, one or more of the domains from the actual topology during path calculations on the actual topology. In some cases, the processor determines measures of reachability for the nodes to indicate whether the domains represented by the nodes represent are on a path from a source domain to a destination domain. The processor can then selectively prune a relationship to at least one edge in the actual topology or modify weights of edges between the nodes in the actual topology based on the ranks of the nodes in the abstract topology.

Abstract: This method and system supplements medical ultrasound imaging devices with a user installable touchscreen monitor and processor that delivers additional functionality to the device. This addition allows for multiple machine learning models working in sequence to provide real-time and near real-time new information to the user. This new information is being produced by multiple machine learning models that are installed on the device and selected by the user using the touch screen to identify features, perform computer aided diagnostics, automatic image calibration, automatically highlight regions of interest, feature highlighting, automatic annotation of images and report generation. The data gathered from the image processing and user inputs are then converted to an industry standard data format. This new information is combined into a report for user review and transferred to the hospital picture archive and communication system, the electronic health record and the hospital billing system.
