Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Remote Access Server (RAS) to provide a communication channel between UPnP Remote Access Clients (RACs) connected thereto. The UPnP RAS maintains local discovery information for UPnP devices connected to a local network and remote discovery information for remote UPnP devices communicating therewith. The UPnP RAS provides the remote UPnP devices communicating therewith with the local discovery information and the remote discovery information. The remote discovery information is utilized by a first remote UPnP device to discover a second UPnP device and vice versa. After discovery, a first remote UPnP device can communicate with a second UPnP device and vice versa.

Each message type is stored in association with both a condition for filtering messages of the message type and a subscriber device destination for messages of the message type meeting the condition. A processor is configured to determine whether a message meets a condition associated with the message type, and transmit the message to the subscriber devices indicated by the corresponding destination information when the condition is met.

A DIS election operation is executed to determine a first network node among the plurality of network nodes as the DIS for the network and creating a first pseudo node for the first network node, and with each network node of the plurality of network nodes, determining whether the connectivity between the first network node and the other network nodes of the plurality of network nodes within the network is in a synchronous state with the adjacencies with the other network nodes of the plurality of network nodes within the network.

Abstract: In an embodiment, application delivery to end-user devices may be handled by a combination of an application device and a distributed set of split edge devices located closer to the end-user device within a network. The split edge devices are instructed by the application device about how to manage traffic to and from the end-user devices. The application device determines whether content is stored to content cache of a split edge device. The application device, when the content is stored to the split edge device, refrains from sending the content and instead sends instructions to the split edge device that include reference to a location of the content, and instruct the split edge device to send the content to an application and/or device. The application device, when the content is not stored to the split edge device, sends the content with instructions to store the content locally.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for controlling a congestion window (CWND) value of a communication session of a CDN. In particular, a content server may analyze a request to determine or receive an indication of the type of content being requested. The content server may then set the initial CWND based on the type of content being requested. For example, the content server may set a relatively high CWND value for requested content that is not particularly large, such as image files or text, so that the data of the content is received at the client device quickly. For larger files or files that a have a determined smaller urgency, the initial CWND may be set at a lower value to ensure that providing the data of the content does not congest the link between the devices.

Abstract: A method of controlling communication includes obtaining a result of comparison between a first feature value of first streaming data and a second feature value of second streaming data and transmitting a first switching signal to a first terminal and a second terminal in the case where the first feature value and the second feature value have a first relation according to the comparison result. The first feature value is of a first streaming data transmitted from the first terminal using the first communication method type. The second feature value is of a second streaming data transmitted from the second terminal using the first communication method type. The first switching signal causes the first terminal and the second terminal to switch from using the first communication method type to using a second communication method type to transmit streaming data between the first terminal and the second terminal.
