Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in communication with a service provider network obtains first information regarding a first call leg of a media session associated with a first endpoint. The device also obtains second information regarding a second call leg of the media session associated with a second endpoint. Both of the first and second endpoints are anchored in the service provider network. The device makes a determination that the media session is being hairpinned, based on the first and second information. The device sends, based on the determination, an indication message using Session Traversal Utilities for Network Address Translators (STUN) along the first call leg that causes the first endpoint to begin sending a flow of media packets.

Abstract: In an example, a system can include a web service interface (WSI) and a service directory for enabling communication between a web and non-web service. The WSI can be configured to communicate with the non-web service to receive reader data and/or writer data. The service directory can be configured to provide the WSI with non-web service subscriber data and/or non-web service publisher data for the non-web service in response to receiving the reader and/or writer data. The non-web service subscriber data identifies a web service as a subscriber of data provided by the non-web service and the non-web service publisher data identifies the web service as a publisher of data from which the non-web service is enabled to retrieve data. The WSI can be configured to provide the web service subscriber and/or publisher data to the non-web service to enable the non-web service to communicate with the web service.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for utilizing non-serializable object parameters with a function as a service (“FaaS”) platform. A user can select, in a user interface of a web application, a server and a command for executing in a shell client. The web application can generate instructions for constructing an object in a shell client that corresponds to the server. The web application can retrieve a shell script associated with the selected command. The web application can send the instructions and shell script to a FaaS. The FaaS can execute, in a shell client, a script that constructs the object as a parameter in a shell session. In the same shell session, the FaaS can execute the shell script, causing the shell client to use the object as a parameter for the shell script.

Abstract: An approach for a software defined networking manager to perform a predictive analysis of proposed modifications to a software defined network (SDN) is presented. A method comprises receiving entity logical associations that are captured in a set of rules implemented in a SDN. Once a proposed modification to the entity logical associations is received, without implementing the proposed modification and without modifying the set of rules, impacted entity associations, from the entity logical associations, are identified. Upon receiving input indicating that the proposed modification is to be accepted, an updated set of rules for the SDN is generated by updating the set of rules based on the proposed modification, and the updated set of rules is implemented in the SDN.

Such measures exemplarily comprise receiving a first session description message comprising at least one media line indicative of multiple media streams transportable in a same stream control association, and generating, based on said first session description message, a second session description message indicative of a possibility for a separate transport of said multiple media streams and of a possibility for a joint transport of at least some media streams of said multiple media streams in the same stream control association.

Abstract: Many public events are recorded by members of the public, producing ‘user generated content’ or ‘user generated video’. Such content is often of unreliable and/or inconsistent quality. However, professional recordings of such events are often not possible and/or are inconvenient. In particular, multiple camera angles are often impossible to find using professional equipment and operators. The present invention provides a system and method in which user generated content may be collated, filtered and combined to produce a continuous professional quality audio-visual recording of an event.

Abstract: One or more lower-level attributes of a first network policy are translated to one or more higher-level attributes of the first network policy, and one or more lower-level attributes of a second network policy are translated to one or more higher-level attributes of the second network policy. The first network policy controls how first network traffic is handled, and the second network policy controls how second network traffic is handled. The one or more higher-level attributes of the first network policy are compared with the one or more higher-level attributes of the second network policy. Based on the comparing, it is determined whether the first network traffic and the second network traffic are handled in a functionally equivalent manner. If not, the first network policy is dynamically updated to generate an updated first network policy that causes the first network traffic to be handled in the functionally equivalent manner.
