Abstract: There is provided a method for providing edge node (110) fault management and bandwidth, (BW), control for transmission of a data stream in a packet-based network. The method comprises adaptively transmitting a data stream (DS) by controlling an outgoing data stream being transmitted to one or more client devices (151, 152, 153) by analyzing at least one data stream characteristics of a corresponding received data stream (DS1, DS2, DS3) of the one or more receiving client devices (151, 152, 153), and providing a transmission strategy for the outgoing data stream based on said analyzed data stream characteristics. Thereby accurate adjustment of consumed (BW) and an associated recovery scheme, i.e. FEC and/or retransmission, to maintain highest achievable performance when it comes to video quality and also affect on other services, are provided.

Abstract: A method performed by a health service configured to update a domain name system (DNS) to enable clients, which use the DNS, to allocate service requests to a plurality of service instances which provide the service wherein each service instance comprises a microservice architecture is presented. The health service requests outcome data from at least one of the service instances, and calculates a status indicator for the service instance, wherein the status indicator is calculated based on results from internal recursive checks performed throughout the microservice architecture of the service instance and heuristic calculations performed on service request performance data. After calculating the status indicator, the health service triggers a dynamic update to the DNS according to the calculated status indicator.

Abstract: A central networking system supports efficient identification and analysis of problems that occur at associated nodes on the network. Using network monitoring rules, the central networking system samples data from a subset of nodes in response to an indication that an error or problem has occurred on the network. If the collected sample data is determined to satisfy certain network conditions, the central networking system proceeds to perform network operations on nodes of the entire network, as appropriate. Thus, the system does not need to collect data from every node in a large network to address potential network threats. The central networking system also defines rules for detecting when a node experiencing a problem violates safety conditions such that it is impossible or inadvisable to pull analytical data from the node. The system performs appropriate remedial actions to address the node problems prior to requesting data for analysis.

Abstract: This application provides a data distribution method includes: A network device buffers first data, where the first data is data of a service that is provided by a server for a first terminal device; the network device receives N first data requests sent by N second terminal devices; and when data requested by the N first data requests is data provided by the server based on the service, the network device intercepts the N first data requests and sends the buffered first data to the N second terminal devices. This can reduce a plurality of connections that are used to transmit data of a same service and that exist on a channel between the server and the network device, thereby occupying a smaller downlink bandwidth to transmit the data of the same service from the server to the network device.

The interface may also receive, from the managed network device, the management data. The processor may generate, from the management data, a plurality of partial responses that each includes a portion of the management data, where the interface may next send, via the messaging bus and to the webserver, each of the plurality of partial responses as a separate message.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that facilitates the creation of complex messages from user input(s) to the automated assistant. Each message can be created according to a respective template that is selected based on user input that directs the automated assistant to communicate a message to a recipient. Furthermore, sections of a template can be designated for certain content based on prior messages communicated by one or more users to one or more recipients. In this way, in response to a user requesting that the automated assistant send a message, the automated assistant can select a related template and fill out the template accordingly. In some instances, content that is assigned to certain sections of the selected template can come from a variety of different sources and/or may not be explicitly specified in the request from the user to the automated assistant.
