  • Publication number: 20240113989
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, for automatically changing a network system. A method includes receiving a set of first intents that describe a state of a first switch fabric; receiving a set of second intents that describe a state of a second switch fabric; computing a set of network operations to perform on the first switch fabric to achieve the second switch fabric, the set of operations also defining an order in which the operations are to be executed, and the set of operations determined based on the set of first intents, the set of second intents, and migration logic that defines a ruleset for selecting the operations based on the set of first intents and the second intents; and executing the set of network operations according to the order, to apply changes to elements within the first switch fabric to achieve the state of the second switch fabric.

  • Publication number: 20230318980
    Abstract: A server transmits an encoded game frame over a network to a respective client system as a set of packets. In response to transmitting the set of packets, the server determines a bandwidth estimate based on the size of the encoded game frame and the timing data associated with the transmitted set of packets. The server then compares the bandwidth estimate to a current video bitrate of the game stream being transmitted from the server to the respective client device. In response to the comparison indicating an underutilization of the network, the server increases the encoding bitrate. Further, in response to the comparison indication an overutilization of the network, the server decreases the encoding bitrate.

  • Patent number: 9170325
    Abstract: Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for distance measurements between computing devices. Some examples determine a distance between devices based at least in part on a propagation time of audio tones between the devices. Further, some examples determine the arrival time of the audio tones by performing autocorrelation on streaming data corresponding to recorded sound to determine a timing of an autocorrelation peak indicative of a detection of an audio tone in the streaming data. In some cases, cross correlation may be performed on the streaming data in a search window to determine a timing of a cross correlation peak indicative of the detection of the audio tone in the streaming data. The location of the search window in time may be determined based at least in part on the timing of the detected autocorrelation peak.
