Abstract: A method for directing network traffic includes, at a network device, receiving network traffic provided by one or more client computing devices. The network device directs the network traffic to a service entity over a first network path. A path quality indicator is received that indicates whether the network traffic directed over the first network path satisfies one or more experience criteria. Based at least on the path quality indicator indicating that the network traffic directed over the first network path does not satisfy the one or more experience criteria, the network device redirects some or all of the network traffic to the service entity over a second network path.

Abstract: A method of video decoding for a decoder is provided. In the method, prediction information of a current block in a current picture is decoded from a coded video bitstream, where the prediction information is indicative of an inter prediction mode. Whether a filtering process is applied on the current block is determined, where the filtering process adjusts inter prediction samples of the current block based on neighboring reconstructed samples of the current block. A primary transform is thus performed for a transform block according to a pre-defined primary transform type based on that the filtering process is determined to be applied on the current block, where the transform block is partitioned from the current block.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining whether a past throughput of past traffic communicated between a communication device and a communication network meets a first threshold value, resulting in a first determination; responsive to the first determination being that the past throughput meets the first threshold, transmitting an instruction to the communication device to restrict a first subsequent throughput of first subsequent traffic to no greater than a second threshold value; determining whether the first subsequent throughput has been restricted, resulting in a second determination; and responsive to the second determination being that the first subsequent throughput has not been restricted, taking one or more actions to enforce a second subsequent throughput of second subsequent traffic to no greater than a third threshold value, wherein the third threshold value is lower than the second threshold value. Other embodiments are disclosed.
