Abstract: A network device may connect to a smart-enabled network. Once connected, the network device may receive a network address for a network management server (NMS). Having the network address for the NMS, the network device may generate a vCard comprising the attributes necessary for registering with the NMS. The network device may then communicate the vCard to the NMS. The NMS may then be configured to identify, register, and add the network device to a directory.

Abstract: User equipments can download a video file by instantiating multiple video requests, each request specifying different parts of the video file. If each video request initiates a separate transmission control protocol (TCP) session, which is the case with an hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) partial get request, then a network device in a communications network would be oblivious of contextual information, which indicates that the TCP sessions download different portions of the same video file. This disclosure provides systems and methods for correlating multiple TCP sessions so that a network device in a communications network can be aware of the contextual information.

Abstract: An in-browser proxy enables an application in a frame to make a cross domain request. The proxy executes within the browser, which has a first domain. The browser provides a frame in which a client application executes, which has a second domain. The request from the client application is a request for data access to the external domain. The proxy identifies a registration of the client application, and forwards the request to the external domain. The proxy receives a response to the request and provides the response back to the client application within the frame.

Abstract: An improved lacrosse mesh is made of polypropylene. Polypropylene fibers are among the lightest weight of all commercially produced plastic fibers. Typical polypropylene has a density of 0.9 g/cm3, much lower than that of polyester (1.38), cotton (1.54), or nylon (1.15). Additionally, polypropylene is known to outperform other dyeable fibers in low moisture absorption tests. Preferably a polypropylene-based material known as INNEGRA S is employed. It has a tenacity greater than 5 grams/denier, elongation prior to breakage of about 11%, density of 0.84 g/cm3, 93% of unprocessed polypropylene and a surface texture bearing striations that enhance its grippability to a degree desirable for use in netting for lacrosse mesh. The INNEGRA S material is much more difficult to stretch to any degree as compared to the more easily stretchable NYLON material and, as such, ideally maintains pocket shape in a wide variety of conditions.

Abstract: One or more embodiments provide a system and method for DNS that is resistant to losses of network connections. In some particular embodiments, DNS servers are operated to maintain consistency of DNS records between the multiple master servers in response to connection failure. Each master DNS server monitors network connectivity by periodically testing network connections of the master server (e.g., to other master servers) to determine whether the master DNS is isolated in a manner that prevents updates from being distributed between the master DNS servers. In response to detecting network isolation of the master DNS server, the master DNS server is configured to enter the isolation mode, in which the master DNS monitors the status of connections and takes appropriate actions to update and/or recover DNS data when connections are restored.

Abstract: A network connection is established between a virtual storage appliance (VSA) in a virtual machine and a storage server system. The virtual machine can run on a computing device remote to the storage server system. Access is provided to a second shared namespace of data at the VSA over the network connection. The second shared namespace is a policy defined subset of a first shared namespace of the storage server system. Data in the second shared namespace is accessible at the storage server system by at least one other computing device communicatively coupled to the storage server system. The data in the second shared namespace at the VSA is replicated to create a local copy at the computing device. Changes to the local copy are synchronized with the data in the second shared namespace at the storage sever system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for delivery of tailored content to differentiated devices, such as desktop, mobile, and tablet devices, over a computer network. In one embodiment, a proxy cache server has a content cache for storing previously retrieved objects like web pages or multimedia files. For at least some objects, several versions are stored, each version representing an object suited for a given set of client device characteristics. A device-equivalency data structure maintained at the proxy facilitates a determination of whether such cached versions can be used to service a current request. The versions might represent, for example, modified versions created using, e.g., mobile device transcoding techniques, in response to prior requests. They may also represent a set of alternate content created by a content provider and available from an origin server. Such methods and systems may be implemented in a distributed computing networks, e.g., a content delivery network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a security token management service hosted in an application server. A set of services and/or associated applications can be served from an application server to one or more clients. The set of services may require one or more token services in order to deliver their intended functionalities, so that for instance an email client may require the use and presentation of a token or other object incorporating user ID, password, or other authentication information for the user to access and retrieve their email messages. Different served applications and/or services may require the installation of various different token types or services, conventionally requiring manually configuration. A centralized security token management service can be installed and configured in the application server itself, which interfaces to requesting services and automatically locates and acquires diverse token types and/or associated token services to support served applications or services.

Abstract: Data sessions are established based in part on services. When establishing a data session for a communication device, the desired mobility gateway can be dynamically assigned via a specified policy mechanism or provisioned using a predefined service policy table, where particular services are linked with respective identifiers associated with respective mobility gateways. A communication device can reference the service policy table to locate a service that is to be used for the data session and can identify an identifier(s) linked to the service(s) and associated with a mobility gateway(s). The identifier(s) can be received and used to facilitate selecting one or more respective mobility gateways for the data session(s). The service policy table can be automatically pushed to the communication device or the communication device can initiate a download of the service policy table when the default data connection is established.
