Abstract: In one embodiment, a device registers with a controller for a mesh of overhead access points. The device receives, from the controller, a communication schedule for the device. The device generates a message to be sent to the mesh of overhead access points. The device transmits, according to the communication schedule, the message as a beam cone directed substantially upward relative to the device towards the mesh of overhead access points. The message is received and relayed by one or more particular access points in the mesh without the device previously performing a wireless association exchange with those one or more particular access points.

Abstract: Techniques are described for classification-based data security management. The classification-based data security management can include utilizing device and/or data attributes to identify security modes for communication of data stored in a source device. The security modes can be identified based on a hybrid-encryption negotiation. The attributes can include a device resource availability value, an access trust score, a data confidentiality score, a geo-coordinates value, and/or a date/time value. The security modes can include a hybrid-encryption mode. The source device can utilize the hybrid-encryption mode to transmit the data, via one or more network nodes, such as an edge node, to one or more service nodes.

A determination is made whether to increment a TTL flag of the artifact. Responsive to determining that the TTL tag should be incremented, the TTL flag is incremented to a subsequent value in a TTL extender list. Responsive to incrementing the TTL tag, the TTL modified tag value is set to the current time value.

Abstract: A mobile device that includes a camera and an extended reality software application program is employed by a user in an operating environment, such as an industrial environment. The user aims the camera within the mobile device at optical data markers, such as QR codes, that are associated with machines in the environment. The mobile device acquires an image from the camera and decodes the optical data markers included in the acquired image. The mobile device queries the data intake and query system for the values of metrics for the machines associated with the decoded optical data markers. Upon receiving the metric values from the data intake and query system, the mobile device generates AR overlays and superimposes the AR overlays onto the acquired image. The mobile device displays the image with superimposed AR overlays on a display device.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a service identifies a packet sent by a first device in a network to a second device as being of a particular protocol. The service identifies a control command within the packet for the second device, based in part on the particular protocol identified for the packet. The service determines, based on the control command within the packet, a quality of service policy for the packet. The service causes the quality of service policy to be applied to the packet along a path in the network via which the packet is sent from the first device to the second device.

Machine data is a product of information-processing systems (e.g., activity logs, configuration files, messages, database records) and represents the evidence of particular events that have taken place and been recorded in raw data format. In one embodiment, machine data is turned into a machine data web by organizing machine data into events and then linking events together.

Abstract: A port extender provides individual flow control for ports multiplexed from a network device. The port extender is configured to multiplex a network device port across the front panel ports on the port extender. The port extender also determines that an input buffer for the network device port is overloaded, and generates a Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) frame identifying that the network device port is congested. The port extender sends the PFC frame via the network device port to the network device. The PFC frame causes the network device coupled to the network device port to discontinue sending data for transmission from the plurality of ports on the port extender.
