Abstract: Examples include bypassing a portion of an analytics workflow. In some examples, execution of an analytics workflow may be monitored upon receipt of a raw data and the execution may be interrupted at an optimal bypass stage to obtain insights data from the raw data. A similarity analysis may be performed to compare the insights data to a stored insights data in an insights data repository. Based, at least in part, on a determination of similarity, a bypass operation may be performed to bypass a remainder of the analytics workflow.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide a centralized solution for interference mitigation that focuses on efficient spectrum management. Wireless Access Points (APs) collect interference measurements for wireless channels and generate corresponding interferer airtime estimates. The APs also determine Packet Error Rates (PERs) for wireless client devices currently being served via the channels by the APs. The APs send the interferer airtime measurements and the PERs to a centralized controller. If an interferer airtime estimate and a PER for a particular channel satisfy predefined threshold conditions, the controller modifies an allocation of wireless bandwidth for an AP that is currently using the channel and sends a message to the AP indicating how the allocation has been modified.
