Abstract: Use of a chatbot interface to display maps, representing geographic areas, according to user specifications. In some embodiments, a user can enter commands through the geospatial chatbot to specify what geographic area is displayed on a map display (for example, user commands successive maps that zoom in, or out, to specified geographic area). In some embodiments, the user can specify through the geospatial chatbot what map attributes are displayed on the map (for example, restaurants, fires, schools, homes for sale, roads, elevation indication lines, isotherms, etc.). In some embodiments the user can filter, through the geospatial chatbot, map attributes to be within a specified value range (for example, only restaurants that take credit cards).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for contextual video content adaptation are disclosed. Video content is adapted based on any number of criteria such as a target device type, viewing conditions, network conditions or various use cases, for example. A target adaptation of content may be defined for a specified video source. For example, based on receiving a request from a portable device for a live sports feed, a shortened and reduced resolution version of the live sport feed video may be defined for the portable device. The source content may be accessed and adapted (e.g., adapted temporally, spatially, etc.) and an adapted version of content generated. For example, the source content may be cropped to a particular spatial region of interest and/or reduced in length to a particular scene. The generated adaptation may be transmitted to a device in response to the request, or stored to a storage device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating switch-level logical models of a network. In some examples, a system can obtain a logical model of a network, such as software-defined network (SDN). The logical model can represent a configuration of objects and object properties defined based on a schema associated with the network. Based on the logical model, the system can generate a rendered logical model of the network and, based on the rendered logical model, generate, for one or more network devices in the network, a respective device-specific representation of the logical model. The respective device-specific representation can project the logical model to a respective network device, such as a switch in the fabric of the network.

Abstract: Gateway devices at different sites of a primary Anycast network provide access to the sites by advertising a first set of Anycast addresses. A secondary shadow Anycast network advertises different second sets of Anycast addresses from the different sites in order to predetermine traffic shifts that occur as a result of changing one or more of the second set of Anycast addresses that are advertised from one or more of the sites. A traffic shifting device may implement a predetermined traffic shift in the primary Anycast network by selecting a particular second set of network addresses that produces a traffic shift at least equal to the predetermined traffic shift, mapping the particular second set of network addresses to a modified first set of addresses, and modifying routing in the primary Anycast network by advertising the modified first set of addresses instead of the first set of addresses.
