Abstract: A virtual mobile infrastructure performs client-side rendering by intercepting and redirecting screen data for generating a screen image of a remote mobile operating system from a server computer to a mobile client device. The mobile client device receives the screen data and generates the final screen image of the remote mobile operating system. The screen data include drawing application programming interface (API) calls to generate surfaces for applications running on the remote mobile operating system and data for compositing the surfaces together. The mobile client device makes the drawing API calls to generate the surfaces and generates the final screen image of the remote mobile operating system by compositing the surfaces in accordance with the compositing data.

Abstract: In storage networks (e.g., SAN and NAS), various reasons can arise for migrating an application layer communication session endpoint to a different host. To achieve scalability and robustness, the migration can be enacted externally and carried out at a middlebox at the transport layer. When a migration is triggered to migrate an application layer communication session endpoint from a host A to a host B, the middlebox coordinates network address translation with a transport protocol reset mechanism to switch the connection to host B and close the connection on host A with minimal disruption to the non-migrating application layer communication session endpoint using the connection. At the application layer, the non-migrating application layer communication session endpoint will initiate a new connection in response to detecting the reset, and retry any operation that was aborted as a result of the connection switch.

Abstract: In particular embodiments, a client loads a flash player. The flash player requests a flash redirection browser to execute an NPN call, the NPN call including a string. The flash redirection browser determines whether a cache at the client includes the string, and if the cache includes the string, the flash redirection browser determines an identifier associated with the string in the cache and returns the identifier to the flash player.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first computing device determines a priority of a communication to be pushed to a second computing device. The priority of the communication is based on a relevance score of the communication with respect to a user of the second computing device. The first computing device sends the communication via a push notification to the second computing device if the priority exceeds a predetermined threshold. The push notification itself comprises the priority of the communication, and the push notification is received by a secondary processor of the second computing device.

Abstract: A connection request from a client is received at an access subsystem node of a distributed storage service. The connection request includes an attempt count parameter indicative of a number of times an establishment of a connection on behalf of the client has been attempted. A workload threshold level based on the attempt count parameter is identified for use in an acceptance decision for the connection request. In response to a determination that a local workload metric of the access subsystem node is below the workload threshold level, the connection is accepted.

Abstract: Described herein are technologies relating to computing resource allocation among multiple tenants. Each tenant may have a respective absolute reservation for rate-based computing resources, which is independent of computing resource reservations of other tenants. The multiple tenants vie for the rate-based computing resources, and tasks are scheduled based upon which tenants submit the tasks and the resource reservations of such tenants.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel network control system that provides publications for managing different slices (e.g., logical and/or physical entities) of a network. The publications are published from publisher controllers in the network control system to subscriber controllers. The network control system uses publications with generation numbers and buffered subscribers to implement the fixed points in order to help maintain a consistent network state. The information published with a publication is useful for resolving conflicts in the network control system when multiple publisher controllers provide conflicting inputs to a subscriber controller.

Abstract: A software application designed to operate within an enterprise system is modified to operate properly within a system of a third-party provider. In one embodiment, a site manager obtains pertinent information about the software application from the source systems that make up the enterprise system and provides it to a cloud manager, and the cloud manager uses the information to generate a modified version of the software application for use on the cloud provider. The modification may include operations such as driver injection, file system mounting customization, customization of hostname-to-network address mappings, and boot image creation. Secure connections may also be established between the enterprise system and third-party provider to allow the application running on the third-party provider to access the services of the enterprise system.

For example, the method includes determining common key type sets from a plurality of network processing rules; creating one or more hash data structures using the most common key type sets; programming network processing rules that use the most common key type sets into the one or more hash data structures; programming remaining network processing rules into a content addressable memory (CAM); and using the one or more hash data structures and the CAM to find an appropriate network processing rule to process a network packet.

Abstract: A software based system for facilitating streaming of media files to a device over a wide area network (WAN) includes an agent process, an authentication process, a client services process and a client process. The agent process catalogs local media files and advises the authentication process of it's availability on the WAN and the address at which it may be contacted. The client process contacts the client services process to obtain, after authenticating with it, the WAN address of the agent process and contacts the agent process to receive information or meta-data describing the media files available for streaming. The client process obtains information for forming a URI or playlist, that it then passes to a media player to request the stream over the WAN. Alternately, the client process may direct the agent process to pass the URL to another client process on, for example, the same local area network.

Abstract: A server includes volatile and non-volatile memories for storing messages received from a client device. A message reception module of the server stores a message received from a first client device in the volatile memory for an extended time period based on an indicator included in the message. The message reception module deletes the message from the volatile memory based on detection of a triggering event or stores the message in the non-volatile memory based on not detecting the triggering event before the extended time period has expired. The triggering event may include the message having been read by all specified recipients of the message. The indicator may be included in the message based on a relationship of the message to other messages. The message including the indicator may be related to other messages as part of a same conversation that has been determined to be suitable for short-term storage.

Abstract: A capability is provided for statelessly recognizing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packets. A server receives a TCP SYN packet including an initial client sequence number and selects an initial server sequence number for the TCP connection based on the parity of the initial client sequence number and a parity rule. A server receives a TCP packet from a client and uses a parity rule for determining whether to manipulate a TCP response packet to be sent by the server to the client responsive to the received TCP packet (to ensure that the next TCP packet to be sent by the client is not incorrectly identified as a TCP keep-alive packet). A network device receives a TCP packet and uses a parity rule to determine whether the TCP packet is a TCP keep-alive packet. The parity rule is indicative of an expected parity of TCP keep-alive packets.
