Abstract: A method of downloading a multimedia content from a content server to a client through a wireless communication network is provided. The multimedia content is subdivided into a plurality of chunks and for each chunk the content server has at least two corresponding versions thereof encoded with different encoding rates. The method includes having the client send a first request of a first version of a corresponding requested chunk, and having a proxy server intercept the first request to generate a second request of a second version of the requested chunk. The method also includes having the proxy server send the second request to the content server in place of the first request, and having the content server send the second version to the client. The second request is generated based on the amount of information content of the versions of said requested chunk.

Abstract: When a customer-support ticket is created or updated in an online customer-support system, the system applies a set of triggers, which modify the ticket based on business rules, to the ticket, wherein each trigger performs actions that modify the ticket when conditions for parameters associated with the ticket are satisfied. During this process, the system evaluates condition nodes in condition graphs for the set of triggers, wherein a condition graph for a trigger is a directed graph comprised of condition nodes that specify conditions on one or more parameters associated with the ticket. During this evaluation, if a valid path through a condition graph comprising satisfied condition nodes is discovered, the system fires a trigger associated with the condition graph. Also, while evaluating the condition nodes, the system performs one or more range-searching operations to quickly evaluate conditions for frequently occurring parameters in the condition graphs.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining, by a first network device comprising a processor, characteristic information from an encrypted packet received from a second network device based on a determination that the first network device cannot decrypt the encrypted packet. The first network device is free from having an internet protocol security (IPsec) security association (SA), and the second network device has the IPsec SA. The method also includes generating, by the first network device, generating an informational exchange packet when the first network device obtains, based on the characteristic information, an internet key exchange (IKE) SA corresponding to the characteristic information. The informational exchange packet instructs the second network device to delete the IPsec SA on the second network device. The method further includes sending, by the first network device, the informational exchange packet to the second network device.

Abstract: Presenters are enabled to broadcast a document to remote viewers from one browser to another. While viewing a document in the web browser, a user can share the document out to remote viewers by providing them with a link that when selected, opens the document synchronously with the presenter in web browser. The viewers are enabled to consume the broadcast by watching the presenter go through the document in real time. The viewers may also be enabled to view the document asynchronously from the presenter and easily synchronize back with the presenter's view.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for workflow service back end integration. In some examples, an event is detected. The event is associated with an enterprise. A workflow action to perform is identified based on event. A user account is identified using at least one of the workflow action and the event. A command to present the workflow action is transmitted to a client device. A user indication to perform the workflow action is identified. Authentication data for the network service is identified based on a single sign-on (SSO) token associated with the user account. The workflow action is automatically performed using the network service. An authentication with the network service is completed based on the authentication data.

Abstract: An advancement over previous techniques uses push notifications to provide users with proxied communications to outside devices reachable using a security appliance or network gateway. Encrypted direct communication between a user device with the outside device is blocked and the user device is provided with a proxy URL at which indirect proxied communications can be provided. A proxy at the proxy URL can read the communications between the user device and the outside device. The proxy can thereby apply security policies to the indirect proxied communications. The security appliance can provide the proxy URL to the user device via a push server.

Abstract: Manage a request for a computing service through a hub solution available on a network. The underlying network fabric is the communication bus between individual processes that make up a service request. A process orchestrator may publish an Internet Protocol (IP) address for service requests such as printing services, email services, Active Directory (AD) services and similar service requests. The process orchestrator may determine which processes are to be executed to complete the service request and offload the processes to an available computing resources on the network. Examples of computing resources for each process include a virtual machine and a hardware based process engine. The process orchestrator may manage the processes and act as the primary point of interface for an endpoint host requesting the service.

Abstract: A system receives one or more modifications to a platform-independent declarative specification from a set of data center entity owner teams to generate a modified platform-independent declarative specification that captures various aspects for deploying a data center on a target cloud platform. The system performs end-to-end validation of the modifications in multiple phases, starting with validating the modifications based on a set of predefined rules associated with the modified platform-independent declarative specification. When all the multiple phases of validation indicate success, the system a notification of end-to-end validation success in association with the received changes. Each request to modify a data center entity in the platform-independent declarative specification undergoes governance checks to ensure that the approver of the request belongs to a predefined set of owners associated with the data center entity.
