Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting clustering in a multitenant application server environment. The system includes a domain with a plurality of server clusters, and a plurality of partitions, wherein each cluster is homogenously configured and targeted by one or more partitions. An application programming interface (API) can be used to initiate a resource group across-cluster migration within a partition. The API can invoke a replication manager, which queries a target cluster for a runtime topology for use in determining where to store primary session; migrates the primary session to a determined server instance in the target cluster. Additional clustering features, such as cluster messaging service, leasing service, singleton service management, session replication, clustered JNDI, and use of domain front-end load balancing, can be supported.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating a recommendation for increasing loading time performance of a target webpage are provided. For example, a third party window, specifying a target webpage as a source, is inserted into a webpage. The webpage is provided to a browser that displays the webpage and loads the target webpage into the third party window. Resource timing data, associated with loading the target webpage into the third party window, is retrieved. Loading time performance of the target webpage is measured based upon the resource timing data. A recommendation for increasing loading time performance of the target webpage is generated. In an example, an action such as a resource allocation change for hosting the target webpage, compression of an image of the target webpage, a connection reduction of files connected to by the target webpage, etc. is performed based upon the recommendation.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device connected to an Internet Protocol (IP) network and a serial network scans an infrastructure of the serial network. Based on the scanning, the network device can determine one or more serial endpoints within the serial network infrastructure, and may then allocate an IP address to each of the one or more serial endpoints. The network device may then map received IP network traffic into serial protocol commands on the serial network for a destination serial endpoint having an allocated IP address corresponding to a destination IP address of the received IP network traffic, and may also bridge data present on the serial network from a sourcing serial endpoint into an IP message on the IP network with an indication of a corresponding allocated IP address of the sourcing serial endpoint, accordingly.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to techniques for managing a local cache on a computing device that stores content items for an online content-management system. These techniques generally operate by gathering information that is available on the computing device (such as information about user actions, information about which applications are executing, and information about the location of the computing device) and using this information to identify relevant content items that are likely to be accessed in the near future. This enables the system to perform cache-management operations at the local cache to facilitate rapidly accessing the relevant content items through the local cache.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for client-directed placement of remotely configured service instances are described. One or more placement target options are selected for a client of a network-accessible service based on criteria such as service characteristics of the placement targets. The selected options, including a particular placement target that includes instance hosts configurable from remote control servers, are indicated programmatically to the client. A determination is made that a service instance is to be configured at the particular placement target on behalf of the client. A remote control server is configured to issue administrative commands to an instance host at the particular placement target to configure the service instance.

Abstract: A method for communication includes receiving multiple work requests from a process running on a computer to transmit respective messages over a network. A single work item corresponding to the multiple work requests is submitted to a network interface controller (NIC) connected to the computer. In response to the single work item, multiple data packets carrying the respective messages are transmitted from the NIC to the network.

Abstract: A device may receive hash values generated based on resource identifiers. The resource identifiers may be associated with a toll free data service and may be associated with a file size threshold for accessing the toll-free data service. The device may identify a request to access content using a resource identifier and may generate a hash value based on the resource identifier. The device may compare the generated hash value and the received hash values. The device may request the content selectively using a toll-free resource identifier or a non-toll-free resource identifier based on comparing the generated hash value and the received hash values.

Abstract: Some embodiments set forth probability based caching, whereby a probability value determines in part whether content identified by an incoming request should be cached or not. Some embodiments further set forth probability based eviction, whereby a probability value determines in part whether cached content should be evicted from the cache. Selection of the content for possible eviction can be based on recency and/or frequency of the content being requested. The probability values can be configured manually or automatically. Automatic configuration involves using a function to compute the probability values. In such scenarios, the probability values can be computed as a function of any of fairness, cost, content size, and content type as some examples.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for depicting attributes of a user's or member's connections within a professional or social network, in a manner that enables insight into the nature of the connections. When insight into a first member's connections is to be depicted, one or more attributes of first-degree connections (i.e., direct connections) and/or other connections are retrieved (e.g., employer or associated organization, function or role, seniority, skill(s)), over all time or some threshold period of time into the past. The values for the attributes are aggregated over the examined connections, and some or all values are displayed with one or more visual characteristics (e.g., size, color) that indicate a frequency or commonness of the values among the connections. The system or apparatus may include a user interface through which the depiction is presented in place of or in addition to a display of the connections.

Abstract: Systems and methods which provide a drive interface for delivery of various content to consumers of the content are described. Embodiments provide access to content shared by a content provider using an interface emulating a disk drive local to the consumer. In operation the user accesses content shared by a content provider using a drive interface content delivery platform of embodiments herein as if the user were accessing content on a local drive. The drive interface of embodiments is branded in correspondence to the content or content provider. Drive interface content delivery platforms of embodiments employ a “push” type content delivery technique whereby content is actively delivered to the consumers under the control or at the initiation of the content provider. Embodiments may additionally provide push delivery of content through web based interfaces and application interfaces.

Abstract: Two nodes in a communication system exchange link monitoring protocol messages including special metadata that allows each node to determine the status of source NAT on communication links to and from the other node, e.g., if source NAT is present on the communication link, or if there is a change in source NAT configuration (e.g., from enabled to disabled, from disabled to enabled, or from one translation to another translation). The special metadata also allows true source information (e.g., source address and source port number) to be conveyed between nodes even in the presence of source NAT, because the source NAT device does not change the metadata in the message because the metadata is considered to be part of the message payload. In certain exemplary embodiments, knowledge regarding the presence of source NAT devices as well as the true source information conveyed through the source NAT devices via the special metadata can be used in the context of “stateful” routing.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to social network media streaming, and to the sharing of comments about the media content by users of the network. In particular, embodiments of the present invention provide a comment lock module that determines and assigns the locking position of a comment to a position within the media stream, e.g. at a particular time code, and restricts viewing of the comment according to its locking position. Thus, a locked comment allows unrestricted viewing access to a user only after the user watched the video past the position that the comment was locked to. The media content may be categorized and/or filtered to allow the user to focus on consuming and sharing primarily positive inspirational content.
