Abstract: Techniques for exposing a subset of hosts on an overlay network, without exposing another subset of hosts on the overlay network, are disclosed. A component associated with an overlay network exposes a subset of hosts on the overlay network to components external to the overlay network. The component exposes the subset of hosts by distributing a mapping between (a) the hosts to-be-exposed and (b) the substrate addresses associated with the hosts. Alternatively, a component external to an overlay network exposes a subset of hosts on the overlay network to additional components external to the overlay network. The component exposes the subset of hosts by distributing a mapping between (a) the hosts to-be-exposed and (b) a substrate address associated with the particular component. In either embodiment, a mapping for hosts to-be-hidden is not distributed.

Abstract: A device state service supported on an application server is disclosed herein. The device state service is configured to dynamically monitor a device state across devices, and particularly monitor whether or not a device is currently active (e.g., incoming or outgoing ringing, incoming or outgoing busy signal, audio and/or video call in progress, etc.) The active device transmits device state data along with context data and sensor data (collectively “real-time data”). The inactive (or subject) devices may likewise transmit real-time data to the device state service. The device state service determines an action for the subject and/or active devices to perform based on the received real-time data. For example, when a user's smartphone is currently active (e.g., a call in-progress), the user's tablet may enter a power save mode to save resources.

Accordingly, the STA may transit to a doze state on the basis of the subsequent scheduling information for each STA.
