Abstract: The present invention is directed towards forwarding network packets in a cluster network. A predetermined identifier may be inserted into a Media Access Control (MAC) ID field of an Ethernet header of a packet to distinguish various types of traffic. Newly received packets may be identified due to the absence of the identifier. The identifier may be added to the source MAC ID field of the Ethernet header of the packet, and the packet may be distributed to cluster nodes for processing via an inter-node communication bus. Thus, received packets with the identifier in the source MAC ID field may be identified as steered for processing by an internal node of the cluster. After processing the packet, the internal node may transmit the processed packets via the inter-node bus with a destination MAC ID including the identifier.

Abstract: There is provided a new on-board network system having a relay device that relays communication frames between on-board networks, and between an on-board network and an external device, such as being capable of supporting communication between an on-board network and an external device without a storage area of a relay device being increased.

Abstract: Adjusting a WebSocket communication rate is disclosed. A WebSocket frame is received. It is determined that the WebSocket frame includes an indicator of a desired WebSocket communication rate. A transmission rate of a WebSocket communication is adjusted. The transmission rate is adjusted based at least in part on the received desired WebSocket communication rate.

Abstract: A network node can use reputation values to determine when to forego validating a cached Content Object's authenticity. During operation, the network node can receive an Interest over a Content Centric Network (CCN). If the Content Store includes a matching Content Object that satisfies the Interest, the node obtains the cached Content Object. The node then determines whether the Interest includes a validation token that is to be used to validate the Content Object's authenticity. If so, the node determines a reputation value for the Content Object, such that the reputation value indicates a likelihood that validation of the Content Object's authenticity will be successful. If the network node determines that the reputation value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the node returns the Content Object without validating the Content Object's authenticity.

Abstract: Detecting a workflow termination. An object with embedded access control is sent to a next participant in a workflow, wherein the embedded access control is provided and enforced by placing a subset of access keys for individual content-parts into a unique key-map entry for each participant, wherein the object is a Publicly Posted Composite Document. A workflow termination is detected after failure to receive a confirmation token from the next participant after a specified condition is not met.

Abstract: A computer receives a request from a client application for data within an enterprise grid. The computer sends the data along with a program to monitor the application's use of the data. The computer subsequently receives from the program a subset of the data being utilized by the client application. Responsive to a subsequent request for the data, the computer sends to the client application only the data corresponding to the identified subset of data being utilized.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for estimating ages of network devices may include (1) identifying at least one networked device that may be attached to a network, (2) identifying a media access control address of the networked device, the media access control address comprising an organizational unique identifier, (3) querying an organizational-unique-identifier database with the organizational unique identifier and receiving, in response, device-age information relating to an estimated age of the networked device and (4) determining the estimated age of the networked device based at least in part on the device-age information. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of providing a report of experiences of members of a group of users includes: making available a content data compilation compiled from at least items of content data obtained in association with different members of the group; —obtaining data associated with at least one member of the group; and using the data associated with at least one member to cause at least one message to be output on at least one device (8-11) associated with at least one member of the group. At least part of the content data compilation is based on information provided in response to the at least one message by the at least one member with whom the device (8-11) is associated. In one embodiment, a “family news reporter” scenario is proposed.

Abstract: A disclosed method include: receiving, an identifier of a user, an identifier of contents associated with the user and identification data concerning a sensor that read the identifier of the user; reading an identifier of a node associated with the received identification data or a combination of the received identification data and the received identifier of the user, from a data storage unit storing an identifier of a node that will cache contents to be outputted to a display device provided at a different position from a position of a sensor in association with identification data concerning the sensor or a combination of identification data concerning the sensor and an identifier of a user; and transmitting the received identifier of the user and an identifier of contents associated with the user to a node whose identifier was read.

Abstract: A user selects a content item that he wishes to send. He then performs a gesture to specify a direction toward which the content item is to be sent. For example, he pretends to “throw” his portable communications device toward the West. To receive the content item, potential recipients also make gestures that specify receiving directions. For example, a recipient pretends to “catch” a ball thrown from the East. If the sending and receiving directions are compatible, then the content item is sent from the sender's device to the recipient's device. Enhancements to the basic scheme described above can be made to, for example, specify a dispersion angle for the sending or receiving directions or to include other restrictions so that, for example, only intended recipients can receive the content even if other potential recipients are in the specified sending direction and make appropriate receiving gestures.

Abstract: While each node in a cluster of nodes sources connections with the same IP if each node allocates a port on this IP independently, there may be port clashes. Also, the return traffic is not guaranteed to hit the originating node. These issues are addressed by allocating a port in such a way that the response traffic hashes back to the originating node. A good hash is chosen such that the ports are equally divided among the nodes. When a node leaves, the other nodes take over the port range used by this node. When a node joins, the node takes back its share of ports.

Abstract: Receiving a WebSocket frame is disclosed. The WebSocket frame is received. It is determined whether the WebSocket frame includes a control byte sequence in a payload data portion of the WebSocket frame. In the event the WebSocket frame includes in the payload data portion, the control byte sequence and other data, the WebSocket frame interpreted as including a control message. In the event the WebSocket frame does not include in the payload data portion, the control byte sequence, the WebSocket frame interpreted as not including the control message.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention relate to the implementation of a novel social network. In one particular implementation, the invention includes transmitting contact data for displaying graphical representations of contacts for display to a first user, the contacts being contacts of the first user within a private circle in a computer-implemented social networking service; generating a first inner social circle corresponding to the first user, the first inner social circle comprising a first subset of contacts of the first user within the social networking service and defining a first distribution for digital content within that first inner social circle; and creating a sub-account by the first user, the sub-account corresponding to a second user, the sub-account being managed by the first and second users; wherein the second user becomes a member of the first inner social circle.
