Abstract: The present invention is a system or method that facilitates smart decision makings at the client side for adaptive video streaming over a video delivery network by making use of perceptual video quality-of-experience predictions performed during the video preparation stage, at the video hosting or cache server side, or inside the video delivery network, and then transmitted to the client. Compared with prior art approaches of adaptive bitrate video streaming, the present invention can result in one or more of the following benefits: 1) save the overall bandwidth for the delivery of the video content without scarifying the client users' quality-of-experience; 2) create better overall visual quality-of-experience of the client users; 3) create smoother visual quality-of-experience of the client users; and 4) reduce the probability of rebuffering or stalling events at the client user side.

Abstract: Embodiments of ad hoc data sharing systems and methods for ad hoc sharing of data are disclosed. In some embodiments, a data sharing system enables an individual to administer ad hoc, real-time or near real-time direct private sharing of mission critical information between authorized team members separated by time and space. This can enable real-time collaboration between all team members over a computer network, which can incorporate the redundancy of multiple real-time human evaluations by several team members to prevent miscommunication errors and facilitate quality assurance of mission critical data. An individual who serves as an administrator of the data sharing system does not need to have technical knowledge of computers, which may be particularly advantageous in case of sharing medical data by medical professionals.

Abstract: Described herein are—among other things—systems, methods, and apparatus for accelerating and increasing the reliability of content delivery by serving objects redundantly over multiple paths from multiple servers. In preferred embodiments, the decision to use such multipath delivery is made on the server side. A content server can modify or generate a given web page so as to invoke multipath, e.g., by injecting markup language directives and/or script instructions that will cause the client device to make multiple requests for a given object on the page. Preferably the multiple requests are made to separate content servers in separate points of presence. The teachings hereof may be advantageously implemented, without limitation, in intermediary servers such as caching proxy servers and/or in origin servers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to managing resource utilization in cloud service infrastructure. A device can monitor the cloud service. The cloud service can be configured with an automatic scaling function based on a threshold. The device can determine, based on the monitoring, that a utilization value of the cloud service during a time interval exceeds the threshold. The device can generate, using a policy based on the utilization value and the threshold, an instruction to disable the automatic scaling function of the cloud service by the one or more servers. The device can transmit the instruction to the one or more servers via a second cloud application programming interface. The device can generate, responsive to the policy, a service ticket data structure with an indication of the utilization value and the time interval. The device can provide the service ticket data structure to an electronic board.

Abstract: In networked communication systems, a document in a communication (e.g., a response) may be similar between multiple communications involving the same resource, such that duplicate data can be discarded and not stored by a network storage system. Storage of differences in network traffic facilitates compression of storage of network traffic, thereby significantly reducing data storage. Techniques are disclosed for efficient search and retrieval of the compressed data storage. Network traffic may be compared to communications in previous network traffic to identify differences if any. Resource templates may be generated for different (e.g., new) resources identified in network traffic. Storage of the different resources identified in network traffic enables compression of network traffic. Similarity matching may be implemented to improve processing performance for compact storage of network traffic, including determining differences in network traffic for storage.

The system may also determine whether a subnet corresponding to a subnet name stored in the data input list exists and create, in response to a determination that the subnet does not exist, the subnet.

Abstract: A resource allocating method for a VNF and an apparatus are used to resolve a prior-art problem that when a VNF is established. In the method, a resource allocation device in an NFV architecture selects a corresponding physical machine for a VDU based on a resource configuration information group of the VDU. The resource configuration information group includes a resource scheduling parameter, and the resource scheduling parameter is for indicating a requirement of a VNF on a resource selection and scheduling policy. In this way, when a plurality of factors need to be considered to schedule a resource for the VDU, the resource configuration information group may include resource scheduling parameters that indicate a plurality of factors, and the resource allocation device may schedule a resource for the VDU based on a plurality of factors, thereby improving resource scheduling flexibility in a VNF instantiation process.

Abstract: A browsing process is directed to the generation and management of a browse session at a network computing provider. A client computing device requests a remote browse session instance at a network computing provider. The browse session instance may correspond to requested network content. The network computing provider determines a browse configuration. The browse configuration may identify a communication protocol and various processing actions. The network computing provider retrieves the requested content through an instantiated network browse session instance, and performs a first set of processing actions to generate a processing result. The processing result may be provided to the client computing device for display, including performing a second set of processing actions on the processing result at the client computing device. The processing result, or portions thereof, may be stored in a shared network cache and/or in a local cache.
