Abstract: A set of key performance indicators (KPIs) is calculated for a first set of user devices based on device performance data of the first set of more user devices or network performance data of a communication network that provides communication services to the first set of user devices. The device performance data has at least one of temporal or geographical commonality with the network performance data. A machine learning (ML) model is then trained based on training data, in which the training data includes the network performance data and the set of KPIs calculated for the first set of user devices. The ML model is applied to additional network performance data of the communication network to extrapolate one or more extrapolated KPIs for the first set of user devices or a second set of user devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adjusting an eligibility value for transmitting a digital component. In one aspect, a computing system includes a server for identifying opportunities to transmit digital components to client devices. The server determines a first probability of a given outcome occurring following user interaction with the digital component when the digital component is transmitted to the client device. The server determines a second probability of the given outcome occurring if the digital component is not transmitted to the client device. The server generates an outcome incrementality factor for the digital component, including determining a ratio of the first probability relative to the second probability, and triggers adjustment of an eligibility value based on the outcome incrementality factor. The server then controls transmission of the digital component to the client device using the adjusted eligibility value.

Abstract: The present invention provides method and systems for dynamically mirroring network traffic. The mirroring of network traffic may comprise data that may be considered of particular interest. The network traffic may be mirrored by a mirror service portal from a mirror sender, referred to as a mirror source, to a mirror receiver, referred to as a mirror destination, locally or remotely over various network segments, such as private and public networks and the Internet. The network traffic may be mirrored to locations not involved in the network communications being mirrored. The present invention provides various techniques for dynamically mirroring data contained in the network traffic from a mirror source to a mirror destination.

A system may determine a value that is a function of one or more rates at which a portion of a content item is being consumed and based on this value, may also calculate a projected position after a predetermined time period. By comparing the projected position to a dynamically adjustable threshold position for requesting a new portion of the content item, a determination may be made as to when to retrieve and/or cache a new portion of the content item.

Abstract: A video sender loads sender video processing JavaScript into a browser, the sender video processing JavaScript being configured to receive video from a source connected to the first computer, encode images of the video into a H.26x encoded video format, package the encoded video into WebM or FMP4 format, and output the packaged/encoded video on the communication network. A video receiver loads receiver video JavaScript in its browser, the receiver video JavaScript comprising a video format detector, a WebM deboxer, a FMP4 deboxer, a H.26x video decoder, and a rendering engine. The video format detector determines whether received video is packaged using WebM or FMP4 and sends the video to the respective deboxer. The deboxed video is then decoded using the H.26x decoder and the images are rendered by the rendering engine. Timestamps and byte counts are inserted into the video packages, and acknowledgments are used to determine excess latency.
