Abstract: Isochronous endpoints of a redirected USB device can be accelerated. When a USB device is redirected, each of the device's endpoints can be identified. A UDP socket can then be created between the client-side proxy and the server-side agent for each isochronous endpoint, while a TCP socket can be created for each other endpoint. A lookup table can also be created which maps pipe handles to socket IDs. The lookup table can be employed to route USB request blocks pertaining to a particular endpoint over the corresponding socket. In this way, USB request blocks pertaining to an isochronous endpoint will be transferred over the network using UDP while USB request blocks pertaining to non-isochronous endpoints will be transferred using TCP.

Abstract: A virtual network function (VNF) management system includes a computer-executable set of instructions to deploy a VNF using one or more resources allocated for use by the VNF in which the one or more resources are allocated by communicating with a resource manager that manages the one or more resources. The system then receives a request from a user interface to un-deploy the VNF, and un-deploys the VNF while keeping the resources allocated for use by the VNF. At a later time, the system can then receive a request to restore the VNF from the user interface, and deploy the VNF again using the allocated resources.

Abstract: Examples herein relate to identifying a placement of a virtual network function (VNF) to increase a network affinity index. For example a method, executable by a network controller, determines for the VNF the network affinity index over a period of time. The network affinity index identifies a number of packets received by the VNF from a data locality corresponding to a processing unit hosting the VNF. The method proceeds to identify a placement of the VNF extrinsic to the processing unit hosting the VNF to increase the network affinity index.

Abstract: A method in one embodiment comprises: obtaining, by a first cloud-based IoT gateway service, a radio signal from a first mobile sensor device; converting the radio signal to a message in a machine-to-machine IoT connectivity protocol; and providing the message to a message broker that determines a topic of the message and publishes the message using the topic. The message is distributed to one or more additional mobile sensor devices using a content delivery network. The first mobile sensor device optionally obtains the radio signal from one or more additional mobile sensor devices by means of vehicle-to-vehicle communications. The radio signal comprises, for example, a distress signal of a given mobile sensor device and a K-Nearest Neighbor process is optionally used to identify other mobile devices in proximity to the given mobile sensor device.

Abstract: In order to enable a dynamic handshake procedure, a client device is configured with a list of handshake contributors. The client device initiates a handshake by determining the handshake contributors and writing properties of the handshake contributors in a client handshake, which is then sent to a server device. The client handshake is processed at the server device by invoking an appropriate handler, which handles the handshake result. The server can also send its contributors and their properties to the client. Once the client receives the properties, the client can call an appropriate handler to handle the properties. Connections may be created based on the exchanged properties. New contributors and contributor handlers may be added to both the client and server devices.

Abstract: A scalable encoding architecture is able to support multiple encoder versions without requiring new versions of the architecture to be generated and supported for each encoder version. An encoding profile template can be generated that includes the available settings for an encoder. A versioned schema can be generated that defines the settings for a particular encoder version. The schema can be persisted such that when a new channel or media stream is to be generated, the schema can be loaded and its values validated in order to cause the encoder to encode the media content using the appropriate values. An interface presented to the user to generate the template or channel can be dynamically generated such that only the applicable and/or relevant settings for a particular encoder version are displayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for including information in an invitation from a first to connect with a second user that identifies a context regarding how the first user found the second user. A system can include a request component configured to receive, at a first network source, information identifying a second user that a first user has selected to send an invitation to connect with at the first network source, a context component configured to determine a context regarding selection of the second user by the first user, including where the first user found the information identifying the second user, and a generation component configured to generate an invitation that invites the second user to connect with the first user at the first network source. The invitation comprises first user identification information and context information identifying the context regarding the selection of the second user by the first user.

Abstract: A user may use a client device to create a draft document by interacting with a server. The server may send a message to a second device (e.g., using the short message service (SMS)). The message may prompt the user to respond with a message (e.g., a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message) that includes an image to be added to the draft. The server receives the image and modifies the draft (e.g., by updating a web page being displayed on the client device). This process allows the user to type text for a draft using a client device that includes a keyboard (e.g., a desktop or laptop computer) and to add an image to the draft using a second device that includes a camera (e.g., a mobile phone or tablet computer) without having to transfer the image from the second device to the first device.

Abstract: A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method begins by maintaining dispersed storage network (DSN) storage and maintenance loading information. The method continues by estimating a future data access task rate and determining a probability level of potential future data loss based on the estimated future data access task rate. The method continues, when the probability level of the potential future data loss compares unfavorably to a maximum probability of data loss threshold level, by facilitating execution of a preventative data loss mitigation process and when a current data access task rate is greater than a maximum task rate level, suspending the execution of the preventative data loss mitigation process.

Abstract: It is possible to update firmware of domain masters during travelling. An in-vehicle communication system includes a plurality of domain masters, and a redundant domain master configured to be able to perform alternative operations of the plurality of domain masters. The domain masters transmits operation information to the redundant domain master prior to update of firmware. The redundant domain master executes the alternative operation of the domain master using the received operation information. The domain master receives, after the update of the firmware, operation information generated in the alternative operation from the redundant domain master and operates in the updated firmware.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a proxy forwards a first request from a manager for an object in a management information base to an agent in a network device, the object describing a characteristic of the network device. The proxy receives the object from the agent and categorizes the object in a category of a plurality of categories based on a characteristic of the object. At least two categories in the plurality of categories are associated with different time-to-live values. The proxy caches the object from the agent with a time-to-live value in a cache, the time-to-live value associated with the category. Then, the proxy returns the object to the manager. The proxy responds to a second request for the object using the cached object while the time-to-live value is valid without having to forward the second request to the agent.
