Abstract: A communication apparatus 1 is provided with a first communication interface 11, second communication interfaces 12 connected to a plurality of access routers 3 connected to an Internet 6, and a route determination unit which, for a packet being communicated from the first communication interface 11 to the second communication interfaces 12, determines the second communication interface 12 in accordance with an elapsed time since connecting start of a connection with a destination of the packet. Connections having started within a predetermined time are treated as connections constituting one user session. Therefore, connections constituting the same user session can be communicated via the same access router without the need of analyzing a protocol of a layer.

Abstract: The LOCATION-CONSCIOUS SOCIAL NETWORKING APPARATUSES, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS (“LCSN”) transforms user personality and location inputs via LCSN components into match and transaction outputs. LSCN may be a processor-implemented method for location-conscious social networking, involving collecting personality details pertaining to a user, analyzing the personality details and constructing a personality profile for the user. The LCSN may also collect geolocation information from the user and compare it to geolocation data from other users, may use user personality profiles to calculate a compatibility rating between the user and other users, and may send an alert to users if the geolocation data indicates that the user is within a specified distance of another user, and/or if the users are matches for each other. Users may further be able to express anonymous interest in other users by anonymously rating potential matches.

Abstract: Methods, systems, media devices, and non-transitory, machine-readable media to facilitate asynchronous wireless media transfer are disclosed. A request for video service from a content provider system via a wireless network may be received. A media device may be configured to provide an asynchronous session for subsequent video content transfer. The configuring may utilize a network layer and a transport layer without utilizing a presentation layer and an application layer. Specifications of asynchronous session parameters may be created to define delivery operations with the asynchronous session. An encrypted token, corresponding to the specifications, may be created. Opening of the asynchronous session may be requested by transmitting the encrypted token to the content provider system from the transport layer. At the session layer, the asynchronous session may be started for video content delivery in accordance with the specifications of the asynchronous session parameters.

Abstract: Techniques for an online cache migration in a distributed caching system using a hybrid migration process include an application server in a network environment determining that an online cache migration from a source cache to a target cache is running. Based on this, the application server selectively mirroring writes to the source cache in the target cache. Meanwhile, an external migration controller migrates the cache from the source cache to the target cache in a way that does not require the external migration controller or the application server to synchronize their concurrent access to the source and target caches yet still allows the application server to read, write, and delete cache data in the source cache during the migration.

Abstract: A routing system is described herein for intelligently routing actions directed to any one of a collection of user devices that are associated with a user. In operation, the routing system receives a request from a source entity to perform an action. The routing system determines a mode of carrying out the action that involves use of one or more user devices, selected from the collection of user devices. It then instructs the selected user device(s) to carry out the action. In this manner of operation, requests that are directed to an individual user device are no longer necessarily carried out by that individual user device. The routing system chooses the user device(s) to carry out the action based on current context information together with relationship information extracted from a user graph.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating for presentation information about an event on a device that is in a mode of operation that prevents presentation of information about events. This may be accomplished by a media guidance application that receives a command, on a user device associated with a first user, to place the user device in a do not disturb mode. The media guidance application receives, while the user device is in the do not disturb mode, information about an event and determines whether the event is relevant to the user. The media guidance application then determines whether the event is trending among a plurality of users associated with the user and, if trending, displays, while the user device is in the do not disturb mode, a notification about the event to the user on the user device.

Abstract: A novel design of a gateway that handles traffic in and out of a network by using a datapath pipeline is provided. The datapath pipeline includes multiple stages for performing various data-plane packet-processing operations at the edge of the network. The processing stages include centralized routing stages and distributed routing stages. The processing stages can include service-providing stages such as NAT and firewall. The gateway caches the result previous packet operations and reapplies the result to subsequent packets that meet certain criteria. For packets that do not have applicable or valid result from previous packet processing operations, the gateway datapath daemon executes the pipelined packet processing stages and records a set of data from each stage of the pipeline and synthesizes those data into a cache entry for subsequent packets.

Abstract: Provided is a method, computer program product, and system for transferring data between block and file storage systems. A remote server may receive, from a host device, a request to restore data to the host device. The remote server may store the data as one or more objects, with each object corresponding to an extent of a logical volume on the host device. A set of strides on the host device that correspond to the one or more objects may be determined using metadata for the one or more objects. Each of the one or more objects may be split into a set of data pieces using the metadata. Each data piece may then be transmitted from the remote server to the host device.
