Abstract: A first computing device is part of a distributed electronic storage system (DESS) that also comprises one or more second computing devices. The first computing device comprises client process circuitry and DESS interface circuitry. The DESS interface circuitry is operable to: receive, from client process circuitry of the first computing device, a first client file system request that requires accessing a storage resource on one or more of the second computing devices; determine resources required for servicing of the first client file system request; generate a plurality of DESS file system requests for the first file system request; and transmit the plurality of DESS file system requests onto the one or more network links. How many such DESS file system requests are generated is determined based on the resources required for servicing the first client file system request.

Abstract: A technique performs load balancing self-adjustment within an application environment. The technique involves, while nodes of the application environment load balance traffic among clusters that provide services for an application in accordance with a first load balancing configuration, sensing application environment metrics. The technique further involves performing a self-adjustment operation that generates a second load balancing configuration based on the application environment metrics, the second load balancing configuration being different from the first load balancing configuration. The technique further involves deploying the second load balancing configuration among the nodes to enable the nodes to load balance the traffic among the clusters that provide the services for the application in accordance with second load balancing configuration in place of the first load balancing configuration.

Abstract: A server in a content delivery network (CDN) receives a request for a web page of a domain handled by an origin server. The server retrieves the web page and the web page references a video. The server retrieves a file that indicates a list of locations of the domain in which segments of the video are located. The server fetches at least an initial portion of the segments. The server receives a request for the video. The server transmits to the requester at least the initial portion of the segments. The server receives a subsequent request of a different portion of the segments. The server transmits a response to the requester that instructs the requester to transmit the request for the different portion of segments to a second server in the CDN.

Abstract: Managing performance of elements providing a session via a multi-hop network topology is provided. A system receives values for factors associated with elements that form hops in a multi-hop network topology. The system determines a performance metric for each hop using the values for one or more factors selected from the factors. The system identifies a hop of the hops as having a performance issue based on the performance metric for the hop exceeding a threshold. The system selects, responsive to the performance metric of the hop exceeding the threshold, an action to take on at least one element forming the hop.

Abstract: A device associated with a network may provide a subscription request that requests data associated with the network and user equipment connected to the network. The device may receive, based on the subscription request, network congestion data associated with the network, reachability data associated with the user equipment, and location data associated with the user equipment. The device may determine a group of the user equipment based on the network congestion data, the reachability data, and the location data. The device may determine timing for providing firmware to the group based on capabilities of the user equipment in the group. The device may provide segments of the firmware to the network to cause the network to provide the segments of the firmware to the group based on the timing for providing the firmware to the group.

Abstract: Implemented is a remote accessibility service that utilizes a plugin for websites to provide people with an enhanced and standardized browsing experience. The remote accessibility service transmits a plugin to a website that is instantiated on a host service, in which the plugin gathers content from the website and parses and stores the content at the remote accessibility service. The gathered content is transitioned into the remote accessibility service's closed system accessibility environment. Thus, content gathered from a series of e-commerce websites, for example, are all transitioned into a standardized format to enhance the accessibility experience for users. Transitioning the content into a single standardized format makes accessibility consistent, memorable, and harmonious for users who are perusing many websites—instead of relying on the proprietary, discordant, and often times clunky accessibility implementations among each website.

Abstract: A multimedia player downloads chunks (parts of the segment file) during the download of a segment of a stream of segments of a low-latency stream. The first chunks of a segment may be downloaded while the segment is still being written to the CDN server. A chunk-based prediction adaptation logic uses throughput measurements on a chunk instead of a segment and specifically looks at bursts in a sliding window. This data is used to build a prediction of future throughput by applying linear adaptive filter algorithms that may rely on recursive least squares. This adaptation logic leads to very accurate bandwidth predictions and as a consequence, better user experience, compared to existing adaptation algorithms.

Abstract: Methods and systems for partially or fully distributed network verification are described. In partially distributed network verification, each network device generates a respective device-level binary decision diagram (BDD) representing the logical behavior of the respective network device for a network property of interest. The device-level BDDs from each network device are received by a verification service that performs verification by generating an input BDD representing an input header space, and applies each device-level BDD in a logical path from a source device to a destination device, and reports the output BDD. In fully distributed network verification, each network device is responsible for calculating a device-specific output BDD by applying a device-specific BDD, which represents the logical behavior of the network device, to a device-specific input BDD.
