Abstract: Mac learning for cross-site layer-2 connectivity. Some embodiments provide a method for enabling data traffic to be sent between across which a logical network spans. A logical network segment (i.e., a layer-2 network segment such as a logical switch) spans at least two sites via tunnels between network elements deployed in the sites that operate as bridges (or 2-port switches) to pass data traffic between the sites without leaving the logical network segment. Because these network elements operate similarly to bridges, they are not assigned network (layer 3) addresses (e.g., IP addresses). In order to send address resolution protocol (ARP) requests to a router in one site, the network element in another site uses a network address of one of the data compute nodes (DCNs) operating in its site that is connected to the logical network segment spanning the two sites.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first request message associated with the online application, where the online application is provided by one or more application servers within the network domain, where the online application manages data, determining that a first suspicion score associated with the first request message exceeds a pre-determined threshold, inserting an indication into the first request message in response to the determination, where the indication specifies that the first request message is to be routed to a sandbox environment that is configured to mimic the one or more application servers, and where the sandbox environment is configured to not update the data managed by the online application, determining first routing policies based at least on the first suspicion score, and forwarding the indication-inserted first request message to a first computing device in the network domain based on the first routing policies.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing reciprocal data sharing in a data exchange system. Limitations may be placed on the amount of data an exchange member may access based on the amount of data contributed. The system may include determining a data contribution associated with a first member of the data exchange, determining a data access limit for the first member based on the data contribution, and providing data to the first member when the first member has not exceeded the data access limit. In some embodiments, there may be separate data access limits for each member of the data exchange, so that a first member may have different access limits when accessing data from a second member, data from a third member, and data from a fourth member. Further, the system may limit a requester to a type of data that corresponds to the type of data contributed.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing operation of a distributed system comprising a data center and edge devices. The operation of the distributed system may be managed by monitoring the edge devices. The edge devices may be monitored by identifying the health state of an edge device. The health state of the edge device may be identified by collecting data from operation of similar edge devices and the edge device and comparing the differences in between the data. If the differences between the data from the operation of the similar edge devices and operation of the edge device may exceed criteria for deviation, then the edge device may be determined to be in an unhealthy health state.

Abstract: A method transmits a data element between control units of a vehicle that are coupled via at least two communication channels. The first control unit determines a communication channel indicator of a first channel that is representative of available transmission resources. The first control unit receives a data element from a data source. The priority of the data element is ascertained depending on an associated vehicle application. If the communication channel indicator indicates that the available transmission resources of the first channel are insufficient for transmission of the data element and the priority of the data element is less than a predefined priority threshold value, then storing the data element in a temporary memory of the first control unit for a predefined time interval. In a different case, the data element is transmitted from the first control unit to the second control unit via assigned communication channel(s).

Abstract: Streaming content using a data streaming device having limited power is described. A data streaming device receives streaming content from a network and provides the streaming content for display on a content display device. Data streaming device includes power supplies that receive power from the content display device. The power supplies use the power to operate components of data streaming device that process the streaming content. A measuring module measures the power provided to the data streaming device. When the power is insufficient, a controller generates an indication that there is insufficient power to operate the components of the data streaming device. The controller may also modify functionality of the components to operate using available power or disable a component of the data streaming device.
