Abstract: System and method embodiments for exchanging information between a first and second content router enable the content routers to synchronize their caches with a minimal exchange of information. In an embodiment, the method includes creating a hash of contents of a cache in the first content router using a joint hash function shared with the second content router, encoding the hash of contents of the cache in the first content router with distributed source coding, and transmitting the encoded hash to the second content router.

Abstract: A communication system for providing network access over a shared communication link is disclosed. The communication system includes a user access point, a network access point and a communications link. The user access point is coupled to one or more user terminals that access a remote network. The network access point is coupled to the remote network. The communications link couples the user access point and the network access point. The communications link is at least partially controlled by the network access point, which monitors information passed between the remote network and the user access point to create an estimate of future usage of the communications link by the user access point based on the information. The network access point allocates communications link resources for the user access point based on the estimate.

Abstract: A content source provides metadata associated with content, such as an audio signal or video data, to a social networking system. The metadata identifies characteristics of the content or specifies an action for the social networking system to perform. A content identifier associated with the metadata is generated by the social networking system, and an association between the content identifier and the metadata is stored. The content identifier is provided to the content source, which encodes the content identifier into the content (e.g., as a watermark). When a client device receives the content encoded with the content identifier, the content identifier is extracted and communicated to the social networking system in connection with a user account associated with the client device. Based on the content identifier, the social networking system retrieves the corresponding metadata and performs an action in connection with the user account based on the metadata.

Abstract: A networked system includes a plurality of information handling systems (IHSs). A networking device couples the plurality of IHSs to a network. The networking device is operable to receive a packet associated with a first network application from a first IHS of the plurality of IHSs. The networking device then determines that a first virtual port is associated with the first network application in a database. The networking device then assign packets received from the first IHS and associated with the first network application to the first virtual port. The networking device then forwards packets received from the first IHS and associated with the first network application over the network using the first virtual port. The first virtual port provides access to a virtual network that is provided for the first network application and configured using network information associated with the first network application.

Abstract: Implementations for network resource modification for enabling higher network connection concurrence are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a request from a client for a network resource having references to objects, and retrieving the network resource from one or more servers. The method further includes modifying the network resource to cause the client to open a greater number of concurrent TCP connections to the network appliance than otherwise would have been opened had the network resource not been modified due to a browser program imposed limit on a number of concurrent TCP connections. The method further includes sending the modified network resource to the client, receiving a plurality requests for the objects from the client over the greater number of concurrent TCP connections, and replying to the plurality of requests for the objects by sending the objects to the client over the greater number of concurrent TCP connections.

Abstract: Provided are approaches for remote managing comprising at least one or more agents being resident in at least one or more management terminals connected to each other through a network and controlling the corresponding management terminals; and a management server transmitting to the agents a request for a service for managing the management terminals, where the management server transmits the request to the agent through a control channel. An independent control channel is formed between a management server and a management device separately from an ordinary communication channel and, in case the management device is required to perform a server role for a particular service, makes the corresponding management device require a request related to the service through a control channel and thus, the server role is assigned to the management server at the time of carrying out a service.

Abstract: Disclosed is a scalable, hierarchical, distributed network architecture and processes for the delivery of high-performance, end-to-end online multimedia services, including Internet services such as World Wide Web access. The network architecture connects a high-speed private backbone to multiple network access points of the Internet, to a network operation center, to a back office system, and to multiple regional servers in regional data centers. Each of the regional servers connects to several caching servers in modified head-ends, which in turn connect via fiber optics to many neighborhood nodes. Finally, each node connects via coaxial cable to multiple end-user systems. The processes include those for replicating and caching frequently-accessed content, and multicasting content customized per region or locality.

Abstract: A content management system synchronizes content items across client computing systems connected by a network. Each client device has a storage allocation for synchronized shared content items. If the storage allocation for shared content items on a client device is exceeded by the request to add or edit a content item such that it is enlarged, or open a large content item remote to the client device, a client application or the host of content management system selects content items to remove from residence on the client device but keep remotely on content management system. Upon removal of the selected content items, the client application creates shadow items, representing the content item but only containing the metadata of the content item. This creates sufficient space for the initial request to be completed while maintaining user access to all synchronized shared content items. The processes of replacing content items with shadow items may be completed while the client device is idle.
