Abstract: In a remote control method and remote control system, a virtual private network (55) is established between a home control network key (42b, 41c) and a home control network device (61). In order to create the virtual private network both the home control network key and the home control network device determine their network paths to the Internet (2) from the data transfer network (3, 5) to which they are connected. The determined network paths are stored in a home control network server (21) on the Internet (2). When it is desired to form a virtual private network, the home control network server (21) supplies the stored network paths to the home control network key (42b, 41c) and the home control network device (61).

Abstract: A transparent TCP proxy device intercepts TCP connection requests received from a TCP client and destined for a TCP server as if acting as the TCP server in a handshake with the TCP client. Only after completing the handshake with the TCP client, the transparent TCP proxy participates in a handshake with the TCP server as if acting as the TCP client. After the handshake with the TCP server is complete, the transparent TCP proxy intercepts and translates subsequent TCP packets received from the TCP client and destined for the TCP server into a form expected by the TCP server including updating an acknowledgement number and TCP checksum; and intercepts and translates subsequent TCP packets received from the TCP server and destined for the TCP client into a form expected by the TCP client including updating an acknowledgement number and TCP checksum.

Abstract: A social networking service is provided, the social networking service having a user with a social connection to a first contact within a social network of the user and a social connection to a second contact with the social network of the user, wherein the first contact has a separate social connection to the second contact within a social network of the first contact. A computer system determines that the first contact has lowered a strength of the social connection to the second contact within the social network of the first contact. Based, at least in part, on the lowering of the strength of the social connection to the second contact within the social network of the first contact, the computer system recommends, to the user, to lower a strength of the social connection to the second contact within the social network of the user.

Abstract: Communication between (at least) two domains where domain name resolution for the first domain is not going to be available to clients in the second domain “as a service” but more as a “capability” available inherently in web containers. This can be accomplished as follows: (i) connecting a first server computer in direct data communication with a first domain and a second domain; (ii) storing domain name system (DNS) mapping information for the second domain on the first server computer; (iii) storing a first network page related to a network application on the first server computer; and (iv) sending, from the first server computer to a client computer on the first domain, the first network page and the DNS mapping information for the second domain.

A plurality of data collection components in a computing environment can include a plurality of virtual machines running on the one or more microprocessors, wherein the plurality of virtual machines are adapted to be deployed with services and applications. Each data collection component operates to use one or more data structures to communicate with a data consumer, wherein each data structure describes metrics to be collected by said data collection component and is capable of containing collected metric values.

Abstract: Some aspects of the disclosure relate to transmitting content over a network. For example, a device may determine that it is missing a content fragment from its cache, and may send a request for the content fragment. A network device may be configured to respond to such requests by transmitting the content fragment. In some instances, this may allow receiving devices to acquire the missing content fragment without the need to transmit a request for content.

Abstract: A method for setting an address for a service blade includes: receiving a first IP address setting command in an Ethernet protocol format; converting the first IP address setting command into a second IP address setting command in a platform management interface protocol format, where the first and second IP address setting commands include a slot ID of a slot into which a service blade is inserted and IP address data corresponding to the slot ID; and sending the second IP address setting command to the service blade corresponding to the slot ID over a platform management interface network. An IP address setting command is sent to the service blade, which implements a function of setting an IP address for the service blade, thereby avoiding a problem of an additionally increased cost because of an external device in use.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for dynamically modifying Quality of Service (QoS) levels for resources (e.g., applications, processes, services, etc.) running in a networked computing environment. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention dynamically adjust transport level networking QoS parameters based on associated service level agreements (SLA) term. In a typical embodiment, a set of service level requirements associated with a resource running in the networked computing environment will first be identified (e.g., in a computer data structure). Then, the set of service level requirements will be mapped to a set of QoS parameters associated with a transport layer of the networked computing environment. A current performance of the resource within the transport layer will then be determined. Once the current performance has been determined, it will be further determined whether the current performance meets the set of service level requirements.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for passively monitoring a computer system. In an embodiment, a read-only target is created based on the configuration of the virtual server disk used by the virtual server to access the storage associated therewith. This read-only target can be used to expose the virtual server disk for access by a monitoring crawler. Using the read-only target, a monitoring crawler can acquire a set of features regarding the virtual server from the virtual server disk. One or more of this set of features can be analyzed to perform passive monitoring of the virtual server.

Abstract: A system, platform and network are disclosed. The system may be at least partially enabled by one or more processors, and may include a first device having a display for displaying a selected content item made accessible to the first device via download and/or streaming from a network. The first device may have a first device input to interact with the content item. A second device may be coupled to the network and may be configured to control access to and/or to monitor the use of the content item by the first device. A heuristics module may be included for determining whether the first device has utilized the content item to a level of utilization greater than a predetermined value and to form a suggestion based on the determination made by the heuristics module. A communication module may be included to send the suggestion to the second device to provide the first device with an updated and/or a second content item.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method, a system, a Push client, and a user equipment for service communication. The method disclosed in the present invention includes that: A source Push client generates a Push message, where the Push message carries a destination user Push identifier for identifying a destination user; the source Push client sends the Push message to a destination Push server to which the destination user belongs; the destination Push server obtains, according to the destination user Push identifier, a network address for reaching a destination Push client; and the destination Push server sends, based on the network address, the Push message to the destination Push client. With the present invention, communication of various services can be established without relying on a third party application server, which can reduce power consumption of a terminal and save network resources.
