Abstract: A method of and system for accommodating non-responsiveness of an online charging node in a networked system. A request is received from a subscriber. An online charging node is identified to be non-responsive. A default quota is assigned to the subscriber, defining a service usage threshold for the subscriber. Service is provided to the subscriber based on the default quota.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for mapping requests for content received at a CDN to multiple mid-tier content servers. In an example, a method involves utilizing one or more hashing algorithms to map a URL associated with the mid-tier devices to one or more hostnames that may be utilized by the CDN to route requests for content to a particular mid-tier device when an edge device cannot service the request. In this manner, one content device of a particular metro receives requests for particular content and serves that content. By limiting the requests for particular content to a particular mid-tier device, storage may be more efficiently allocated across the mid-tier devices and content not replicated at multiple mid-tier devices.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for managing service delivery quality levels and telemetry. In one embodiment, an entity (such as a Session Resource Manager or SRM) receives network layout data from the network. The SRM uses the layout data to generate a mapping of the network. The SRM also receives performance data related to the interconnections of the network. The performance data is then applied to the mapping such that, in one variant, an visual overlay showing network flow and/or performance analytics is created. Based on this mapping showing layout and corresponding performance, the SRM generates rules for delivery of services. The rules may detail preferred routes and service level information. The rules are the distributed to nodes along the delivery route and delivery is executed in compliance with the rules.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for resolving conflicting network addresses by utilizing a DNS server to configure an edge computing device. The DNS server may receive, from a client computing device, a request to resolve a hostname of a recipient computing device. The DNS server may determine a resolved network address corresponding to the hostname and may determine that the resolved network address conflicts with another network address. The DNS server may determine a substitute network address, provide the edge computing device with information for translating the substitute network address into the resolved network address, and provide the substitute network address to the client computing device. The edge computing device may receive the substitute network address from the client computing device, translate the substitute network address into the resolved network address of the recipient computing device, and send network data from the client computing device to the recipient computing device.

Abstract: To provide a client with access to an API available from a provider, a request is received from a marketplace to subscribe to the API, responsive to the client selecting the API from a catalog of the marketplace. A subscriber identifier, which is uniquely associated with the request by the client to subscribe to the selected API, is generated. An authorization record is created within a proxy; it indicates that a request by the client to invoke the API received by the proxy should be forwarded to the provider from which the API is available if the request to invoke the API includes the subscriber identifier. The generated subscriber identifier and an address of the proxy are provided to the marketplace. Thus, the client is configured to invoke the API by sending a request including the subscriber identifier to the address of the proxy.
