Abstract: Techniques are described for automating the configuration of a simple network management protocol (SNMP) manager device for enabling collection of SNMP data from one or more SNMP-enabled devices. Based upon SNMP object identifiers (OIDs) received from an SNMP-enabled device, processing is performed to map the OIDs to one or more SNMP management information bases (MIBs) corresponding to the OIDs. The identification of the OIDs and mapping the OIDs to one or more MIBs is performed in an automated manner and substantially free of any human or manual intervention. The identified one or more MIBs are then used to configure the SNMP manager to enable SNMP communications between the SNMP-enabled device and the SNMP manager. In certain implementations, the identified one or more MIBs are loaded into system memory by the SNMP manager.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking anonymous visitors of an online website or mobile app are disclosed. The browsing activity by an anonymous visitor of the online website or mobile app is converted into features and a visitor-identifier associated with the browsing activity generated by the anonymous visitor is determined. The features are stored with the visitor-identifier in a super-visitor-state before the visitor-identifier is associated with a super-visitor-identifier. After the visitor-identifier is associated with the super-visitor-identifier, the features are stored with the super-visitor-identifier in the super-visitor-state. After the visitor-identifier is associated with the super-visitor-identifier, the features associated with the visitor-identifier in the super-visitor-state may be combined, e.g., aggregated, with the features associated with the super-visitor-identifier and the visitor-identifier may be removed from the super-visitor-state.

Abstract: A network system can receive a set of multi-user request data corresponding to a multi-user request for service for a set of users that includes a first user. The set of multi-user request data can indicate a common start location for the set of users and identification information for at least the first user of the set of users. In response to receiving the set of multi-user request data from the requesting user device, the system transmits a first set of data to a first user device of the first user to cause the first user device to prompt the first user to input a destination location for the first user. The system then identifies a set of service providers to fulfill the multi-user request for service for the set of users.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sloppy routing are provided. A client transmits a DNS query corresponding to a requested resource to a content delivery network (CDN) service provider. In some embodiments, the CDN service provider processes the DNS query to determine whether a threshold content delivery bandwidth has been exceeded by data links at cache servers. In other embodiments, additionally or alternatively, the CDN service provider determines whether a content provider has exceeded a threshold network usage that indicates a price at which the CDN service provider to provide content on behalf of the content provider. Using both or either of these thresholds, the CDN service provider can further process the DNS query by providing an alternative resource identifier or a cache IP address, both associated with an alternative POP. In some embodiments, the CDN service provider determines a routing mode for the response to the DNS query.

The user attribute information request processing service then generates a processing result responsive to the request, such as identifying financial rate information based on the verified attribute information.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a privacy preserving machine learning platform. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a client device and by a computing system of multiple multi-party computation (MPC) systems, a first request for user group identifiers that identify user groups to which to add a user.

For each user group in a set of user groups corresponding to the model identifier, a centroid for the user group that is determined using a centroid model corresponding to the model identifier is identified. The computing system determines a user group result based at least on the first user profile data, the centroids, and the threshold distance. The user group result is indicative of user group(s) to which to add the user.
