Abstract: A method performed by a network node in a communications network, for handling of discovery of entrance points of a User Equipment (UE) to an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, during an IMS Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session setup. The network node obtains a list of IMS entrance point instances, wherein the list of IMS entrance point instances comprises an address of each IMS entrance point instance and one or more transport protocols supported by each IMS entrance point instance. The network node generates, based on the obtained list of IMS entrance point instances, a configuration message for IMS entrance point discovery, comprising the address of the IMS entrance point instance and the one or more transport protocols supported by each IMS entrance point instance. The network node further provides to the UE the generated configuration message.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a device and a system for data communication control. In the method for data communication control, data sent from a first communication device is received by a data forwarding device, where the data is transmitted through at least two types of physical interfaces in sequence. The data is then forwarded by the data forwarding device to a second communication device that is preconfigured. During the process of sending the data by the first communication device, the data is physically isolated by at least two types of physical interfaces, and then forwarded to the second communication device that is preconfigured. Even if the first communication device is illegally invaded by outsiders, the outsiders only know the IP address of the first communication device but fail to know the IP address of the destination of the physically isolated data.

Abstract: A picture frame and methods of setup, gifting, and/or use. Network connection allows digital frames to be set up remotely by a first user for a second user. The first user can upload photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members before the second user receives the frame device. The frame is thus ready for display upon powering on by the second user. An integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

Abstract: A first edge server of multiple edge servers of a distributed edge computing network receives a request from a client device regarding a resource hosted at an origin server according to an anycast implementation. The first edge server modifies the request to include identifying information for the first edge server prior to sending the request to the origin server. The origin server responds with a response packet that includes the identifying information of the first edge server. Instead of routing the response packet to the client device directly, one of the multiple edge servers receives the response packet due to the edge servers each having the same anycast address. If the edge server that receives the response packet is not the first edge server, that edge server transmits the response packet to the first edge server, who processes the response packet and transmits the response packet to the client device.
