Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for identifying duplicate third party interactions based on information extracted from multiple resources associated with an enrolled user. Furthermore, the system may automatically modify a duplicate third party interaction upon identification, wherein the system may cancel the duplicate third party interaction by interrupting payments to the third party provider associated with the duplicate interaction. This allows for duplicate interactions to be canceled on behalf of the user without the system knowing user login information associated with the third party interaction. Additionally, the system may provide options for modifying duplicate interactions to the user by way of actionable notifications on the user's computing device via a client application. The system may also provide the user with reasons for why similarly-situated users modified third party interactions to aid the user's decision making process.

A verification token is sent to the application. A second request is received from the application, and the second request includes the verification token and context information of the application. The second request is sent by the application using the API. In response to the received requests, a registration of the user profile is updated by discarding a previously-registered messaging token and registering the new messaging token to the user profile.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for stateless network function virtualization. Embodiments operate in context of a data network, in which network middleboxes are virtualized, for example, for added scalability and fault tolerance. The virtualized middleboxes can implement state-reliant network functions in a manner that decouples the state from the packet processing pipeline, while maintaining reliability and throughput even at very high data rates. Various embodiments include novel packet processing pipeline architectures, novel thread coordination structures (e.g., including batching and buffer pool sub-structures), novel remote state data store structures, and/or other novel features.

Abstract: The global proliferation of high speed communication networks has created unprecedented opportunities for geographically distributed resource identification, evaluation, selection, and allocation. However, while the opportunities exist and continue to grow, the realization of those opportunities has fallen behind. A dynamic resource assessment system helps to solve the enormous technical challenges of finding the resources, evaluating the resources, and determining how to allocate the resources to achieve the highest likelihood of successfully completing the task.
