Abstract: Techniques for using traceroute with tunnels and cloud-based systems for determining measures of network performance are presented. Systems and methods include receiving a request from a client to perform a reverse trace; requesting a trace to an endpoint that is one of an egress router and a tunnel client, wherein there is a tunnel between i) the destination and ii) the one of the egress router and the tunnel client; receiving a response to the trace; and sending details associated with the response to the client so that the client aggregates these details with details from one or more additional legs to provide an overall view of a service path between the client and the destination.

Abstract: The present technique relates to a data processing apparatus and a data processing method each of which enables a burden imposed on processing on a reception side to be reduced. A data processing apparatus produces signaling containing a Null cell number exhibiting the number of Null cells of cells of a sub-frame included in a physical layer frame, and processes the signaling so as for the signaling to be contained in a preamble of the physical layer frame, thereby enabling a burden imposed on processing on a reception side to be reduced. The present technique, for example, can be applied to data transmission complying with the broadcasting standards such as ATSC3.0.

In some examples, commands may be transmitted to a device to initiate advertisement related reporting.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access data samples associated with an access point of a communication network. The data samples may be collected at an application level from client devices associated with the access point and aggregated into data points correlating a first network metric to a traffic-volume metric. The system may partition the data points into a first and second set of data points using a first network metric threshold. The system may determine trends of the traffic-volume metric with respect to the first network metric based on regression analysis on the first and second sets of data points. The system may predict, based on the trends of the traffic-volume metric with respect to the first network metric, an amount of time until a network-capacity metric of the access point meets a traffic-loss threshold. The network-capacity metric may be determined based on the traffic-volume metric.

Abstract: Upon a user equipment attaching to a core network of a cellular communications network system, an IP address is allocated to the user equipment by a network device of the core network, for tunneling data relating to the user equipment between the network device and an application server. The IP address is allocated from a subnetwork, and the allocating is performed based on path monitoring information. If the path monitoring information contains an IP address of at least one subnetwork, the subnetwork is selected from the at least one subnetwork. Then it is checked if the path monitoring information contains a combination of the subnetwork's IP address and the application server's IP address. In case the combination is not contained in the path monitoring information, a path indicated by the combination of the subnetwork's IP address and the application server's IP address is added to the path monitoring information.

Abstract: In examples of the present invention, delivery of a segment of content is done using an initial congestion window, preferably chosen to give a delivery rate that ensures timely delivery of that segment. However, under high levels of packet loss, the delivery rate may not be sufficient. Hence, at any stage during delivery of a segment, the actual delivery rate is measured, and used, together with the previous congestion window size, the amount of content segment data still to be delivered, and the time left for delivery, to calculate an updated congestion window. The remainder of the segment is then delivered using this revised congestion window.

Abstract: A data model can be customized by a user and executed in real-time at a network device. The user provides definitions for the customized data model based on a data model locally stored on the network device. The user provided definitions are used to generate a mapping contract which is processed by a mapping package generator to generate a mapping package. The mapping package can then be processed by a translation engine to dynamically execute a customized data model in real-time.
