The scaling request comprises a request for virtualized network function expansion or virtualized network function contraction. The scaling request is transmitted to a second network node. A first domain is directed to application level details. A second domain is directed to virtualization level details. The scaling request comprises: (1) a relative target capacity that is generic to both the first domain and the second domain, (2) an absolute target capacity that is specific to the first domain, or (3) a relative target capacity that is specific to virtualized network function level targets. The method may also include receiving a notification that a virtualization network function has been updated based on the transmitted scaling request.

Abstract: Techniques to utilize excess resources in a cloud system, such as by enabling an auxiliary resource utilizer to use resources while they are not needed to support primary resource utilizers, are described herein. Some embodiments are directed to identifying and allocating excess capacity of resources in a cloud system to auxiliary resource utilizers based on one or more policies. In various embodiments, excess resources in one or more of the set of resources in the cloud system, or cloud resources, may be determined based on monitoring utilization of the cloud resources by the primary resource utilizers. In many embodiments, an auxiliary resource utilizer that is in compliance with a set of utilization policies may be identified and the excess resources may be allocated to the auxiliary resource utilizer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a System and method for multi-tiered data synchronization. Data is synchronized between a master synchronization server, one or more proxy synchronization servers, and client devices. Client devices establish synchronization sessions with either a proxy synchronization server or a master synchronization server, depending on which server provides the “best” available connection to that client device. Each proxy synchronization server synchronizes data with client devices that have established a synchronization session with such proxy synchronization server. The master synchronization server synchronizes data with client devices that have established a synchronization session with the master synchronization server. Each proxy synchronization server synchronizes data with the master synchronization server. Metadata associated with synchronized files is synchronized throughout the system in real-time. Files may be synchronized in real-time or of a delayed time.

Abstract: Multiple social network postings that originate from a single social network user are detected within a social network. The multiple social network postings that originate from the single social network user are analyzed using configured posting relationship identification criteria. Based upon the analysis of the multiple social network postings that originate from the single social network user using the configured posting relationship identification criteria, a determination is made that at least two of the multiple social network postings that originate from the single social network user include related content. The content of the at least two social network postings determined to include the related content is concatenated into a single consolidated social network post.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for providing an agent for implementing layer 2 (L2) communication on a layer 3 (L3) underlay network. In one embodiment, an agent in virtualization software determines a newly available network address of a VM, configures a network interface of the L3 network to be associated with the network address such that network traffic for the network address is directed to the network interface, adds a route to a virtual router in the virtualization software indicating the VM is local, and adds a router to an address resolution table to associate the network address with a MAC address. This permits a packet sent from one VM to another VM to be processed by the virtual router based on routes therein and forwarded to the other VM either internally or using the L3 underlay network.

Abstract: To deal with ANAT/IP version incompatibility, a communication endpoint registers with a communication system using a SIP REGISTER message. For example, the communication endpoint registers when it boots up. The SIP REGISTER message indicates that the communication endpoint: does not support the Alternative Network Address Type (ANAT) protocol or is one of IPV4 intolerant or IPV6 intolerant. When a SIP INVITE message is received with a Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer that comprises the ANAT protocol or an IP address that is opposite of the IP version intolerance of the communication endpoint, a 4XX SIP response message is sent to the sender of the SIP INVITE to indicate the incompatibility. In response, to receiving the 4XX SIP response message, the SIP INVITE is modified to be compatible with the capabilities of the communication endpoint.
