In one embodiment, a method can determine, from a gate level representation of a circuit in a layout on a die of an IC, a first set of paths through the circuit that process security related data during operation of the circuit, the circuit including a second set of paths that do not process security related data; and the method can further determine, in a simulation of power consumption in the first set of paths but not the second set of paths, power consumption values in the first set of paths to determine potential security leakage of the security related data in the circuit. The method can further determine, from the power consumption values, positions in the layout for inserting virtual probes on the die for use in measuring security metrics that indicate potential leakage of the security related data. The insertion of the virtual probes is relative to the actual simulated layout of the die.

Abstract: Optimizing a performance of a software function withing a content distribution network, such as a software-implemented virtual cable modem termination system (CMTS) network, a virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN), a Passive Optical Network (PON), or a Wi-Fi network. The performance may be optimized by dynamically changing a deployment location within the content distribution network for the software function from an original location to an updated location using an instance management platform. The deployment location may be dynamically changing in response to a variety of trigger conditions or concerns, such as but not limited to a difference in compute resources, responding to latency needs or tolerances, and a desired cohabitation of data or other software.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for a control plane approach for dense topologies that focusses on discovering shared ECMP groups in the control plane independent of per-prefix learning and then learning prefixes via these shared ECMP groups instead of learning prefixes via one next-hop at a time. In dense topologies, this approach helps minimize BGP path scale, corresponding signaling and enables control plane scaling that is an order of magnitude higher than a traditional eBGP control plane. During link and node topology changes, the described control plane approach enables control plane signaling that is prefix independent and an order of magnitude lower. A control plane approach to path-list sharing and prefix independent signaling on link and node topology changes enables prefix independent convergence (PIC) in scenarios that would not be possible otherwise with traditional FIB driven path-list sharing and PIC.

Abstract: Techniques for connectivity issue remediation are provided. A first link trace message is transmitted from a source end point to a destination end point. A first topology graph for a network is generated based on the first link trace message, and a presence of a connectivity issue in the network is detected. A second link trace message is transmitted from the source end point to the destination end point. A second topology graph for the network is automatically generated based on second link trace message, and a component in the network that caused the connectivity issue is identified based on comparing the first and second topology graphs.

Abstract: An aircraft search light system is disclosed. Voice commands may be used to control one or more aspects of the operation of the aircraft search light system, including to initiate the detection of objects in image data, to select a particular object in the image data to be tracked by the search light, and the like. The search light may be moved based upon processed image data, for instance such that the selected object continues to be illuminated by the search light. Voice commands may also be used to initiate movement the search light relative to the selected object (e.g., to keep the selected object in the field of view of the search light). Audio output may be generated by the aircraft search light system to provide information to aircraft personnel on the processed image data, and on which one or more subsequent voice commands may be based.

Abstract: A method is performed at a router configured to perform Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) for forwarding of multicast packets in a network. The method includes, upon receiving a multicast packet of a multicast flow, accessing flow mappings in which multicast flows are mapped to fixed accounting values corresponding to the multicast flows. The method further comprises generating a BIER header for the multicast packet by encoding a multi-segment entropy field of the BIER header with (i) a variable entropy value for equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) load balancing, and (ii) a fixed accounting value among the fixed accounting values that is mapped to the multicast flow in the flow mappings. The method also includes encapsulating the multicast packet with the BIER header to produce an encapsulated multicast packet, and forwarding the encapsulated multicast packet.

Abstract: In one aspect, a computerized method useful for connecting to a multipath hub in a cluster includes the step of, with a gateway in a same network as the cluster, receiving, from a branch edge, a request to connect to a logical identifier (ID) of the multipath hub. The gateway recognizes a logical ID representing a cluster. The gateway determines a least-loaded edge in the cluster to be the multipath hub. The gateway returns a connectivity information for the multipath hub. The branch edge configures a tunnel to the multipath hub.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for predicting metabolic and bariatric surgery outcomes are provided. The systems and methods can also provide predictions for non-surgical metabolic and bariatric treatments. In general, a user can receive predictive outcomes of multiple bariatric procedures that could be performed on a patient. In one embodiment, a user can electronically access a metabolic and bariatric surgery outcome prediction system, e.g., using one or more web pages. The system can provide predictive outcomes of one or more different bariatric surgeries for the patient based on data gathered from the user and on historical data regarding outcomes of the different bariatric surgeries. The system can additionally provide predictive outcomes for not having any treatment and/or a comparison of the predictive outcomes of the one or more different bariatric surgeries to the predictive outcomes for not having any treatment.

Abstract: Techniques for connectivity issue remediation are provided. A first link trace message is automatically transmitted from a source end point to a destination end point. A first topology graph is generated for a network based on the first link trace message. Presence of a loop is detected in the network. A second link trace message is then transmitted from the source end point to the destination end point, and a second topology graph is automatically generated for the network based on the second link trace message. An edge in the network that caused the loop is identified based on comparing the first and second topology graphs.

Abstract: Potentially malicious uniform resource locators and websites are safely and effectively investigated through live forensic browsing. Live data from an isolated browser feeds a security information and event management (SIEM) tool and other forensic tools during a browsing session, allowing investigators to direct the browsing in response to analysis results. Session data may be translated for SIEM ingestion. Browsing sessions may be manually or automatically customized to obscure their forensic nature, by routing selection, by bandwidth or latency adjustment, or by spoofing externally detectable characteristics such as geolocation, user agent, time zone, and language. Forensic activity by an investigator may also be obscured from discovery by an attacker as a result of spoofing the browser's context, such as plugin status and host machine physical characteristics.
