Abstract: A system, method and graphical user interface (GUI) for creating a new correlation search based on a set of displayed graph lanes. The graph lanes may provide graphical visualizations of key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with one or more services and may assist a user in identifying a situation (e.g., problem or a pattern of interest) in the performance of the services. A user may adjust (e.g., add graph lanes, zooming-in) the graph lanes in order to display the situation, at which point the user may submit a request to create a new correlation search to detect if the situation reoccurs. The system may generate the new correlation search by iterating through the set of graph lanes and analyzing the fluctuations of each KPI to determine triggering criteria. The system may then run the correlation search and generate a notable event or alarm when the situation reoccurs.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method is implemented by a server in a server cluster. A request received from a client includes a session identifier (ID) identifying a session between the client and the server, and a correlation ID that is linked to the request. If the correlation ID is not included in an individual server-specific session microcache for the session, the request is processed to determine a response, the response is added to the session microcache, and the response and an indication of the correlation ID are sent to the client. If the correlation ID and a response to the request are stored in the session microcache, the response and an indication of the correlation ID are re-sent to the client. The session ID and session microcache are transferred to another of the plurality of servers in the server cluster to continue the session.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and systems to assess an ability to playback media content. The system progresses through media content playback applications by communicating a query to a computer system over a computer network.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates broadcast transmission in a distributed content delivery network. The system includes a node in the distributed content delivery network that plays a content stream received over the distributed content delivery network. The node includes a leadership-management apparatus that identifies the node as a peer leader in a local network of the distributed content delivery network. The node also includes a broadcasting apparatus. Upon identification of the node as the peer leader, the broadcasting apparatus obtains the content stream from a content source, broadcasts the content stream to other nodes in the local network, and adjusts a bit rate of the content stream based on one or more attributes associated with obtaining the content stream from the content source.

Abstract: Mechanism for two portions of an application to communicate so as to facilitate a transition from synchronous to asynchronous communication. In order to prepare for a possible transition, data flow is monitored between the two portions of the application, each portion interacting with a different hardware entity. The data flow between the first portion and the second portion of the application is recorded. If the second hardware entity is not available at the time, the recorded data flow from the first portion may be replayed by the second portion of the application for the benefit of the second hardware entity. If the second portion of the application is to be reassigned to another hardware entity, the target hardware entity may be sent the second portion of the application, as well as the recorded information. This allows the target hardware entity to replay what has happened thus far for context.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electronic units, communication systems and methods, information processing terminals and methods, and information processing apparatuses and methods which allow easy and quick communications. When a link pin 21A is inserted into a VCR 3, the VCR 3 reads the pin ID stored in the RF tag of the link pin 21A, and reports the pin ID and the address to a management server 1. When the management server 1 has already obtained the pin ID of a link pin 21B read by a television receiver 5, the management server 1 determines whether the group ID included in the pin ID reported by the VCR 3 is the same as the group ID included in the pin ID reported by the television receiver 5. When the management server 1 determines that they are the same, the management server 1 connects the VCR 3 to the television receiver 5. The present invention can be applied to various types of information processing apparatuses connected to a network.

Abstract: A session-specific policy may be used to define specific configuration and operational characteristics of different types of sessions. One type of session may have one set of characteristics while a second type of session may have a different set of characteristics. The policy may be applied by a server or client, and may be propagated through an enterprise by a policy distribution management system to establish policies across multiple devices. Different session types include sessions from a local console, a remote user, a device-initiated session, a service-initiated session, and other types. Within each session type, policies may be defined for specific instances of each type. For example, different policies may be defined for different devices in a device-initiated policy.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for remote direct memory access (RDMA) with reduced latency. RDMA allows information to be transferred directly between memory buffers in networked devices without the need for substantial processing. While RDMA requires registration/deregistration for buffers that are not already preregistered, RDMA with reduced latency transfers information to intermediate buffers during registration/deregistration, utilizing time that would have ordinarily been wasted waiting for these processes to complete, and reducing the amount of information to transfer while the source buffer is registered. In this way the RDMA transaction may be completed more quickly. RDMA with reduced latency may be employed to expedite various information transactions. For example, RDMA with reduced latency may be utilized to stream information within a device, or may be used to transfer information for an information source external to the device directly to an application buffer.
