Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for locally applying endpoint-specific policies to an endpoint in a network environment. A network device local to one or more endpoints in a network environment can receive from a centralized network controller one or more network-wide endpoint policies. A first endpoint of the one or more endpoints can be configured to inject policy metadata into first data traffic. Policy metadata injected into the first traffic data can be received from the first endpoint. The network device can determine one or more first endpoint-specific polices for the first endpoint by evaluation the first policy metadata with respect to the one or more network-wide endpoint policies. As follows, the one or more first endpoint-specific policies can be applied to control data traffic associated with the first endpoint.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for cellular network slice management are presented. A cloud-based application may be determined to be authorized to manage a cellular network slice utilized by the cloud-based application for communication with user equipment. A request can be received from the cloud-based application to modify the cellular network slice from the cloud-based application. In response to the request, a parameter of the cellular network slice may be modified. The cellular network can then use the modified slice for communication with user equipment for the cloud-based application.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to provide an endpoint in a multi-site Software-defined network (SDN) fabric with an Internet access route that is optimal for the specific site in which the endpoint is located. In particular, a control plane node in a first site of a multi-site SDN fabric registers a border node in the first site as a Default Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) for Internet access or unknown endpoint identifier (EID) of the first site. The first site includes at least one endpoint. The control plane node receives a request for Internet access for the at least one endpoint and provides a dynamically-selected Internet access route via a same or different virtual instance (e.g., Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) function(s), Virtual Private Network(s) (VPNs), Virtual Networks (VNs), etc.) for Internet traffic sent by the at least one endpoint.

Abstract: A network can comprise client devices, provider devices, and a database array. The network can be configured for RGB formatted data. A client device processes and converts client inputs into rows of client data columns in a synthesizing database stored in a memory device. The client data rows comprise transcoded RGB formatting of the client inputs. A provider device processes provider inputs. Either the database array or the provider device can process the provider inputs into rows of provider data columns of transcoded RGB formatting of the provider inputs. A collimation of the client and provider RGB formatted data can result in an indicia of complementary client and provider inputs.

Abstract: Providing a coordinated primary media stream with an aggregate supplemental media stream is disclosed. A request is received from an end user device associated with a user for supplemental media. Metadata and a broadcast time associated with a primary media stream transmitted to the end user device are determined. Based on the metadata and the broadcast time, first supplemental media from a first account of the user on a first platform and second supplemental media from a second account of the user on a second platform are determined. The first supplemental media and the second supplemental media are merged into an aggregate supplemental media stream. The aggregate supplemental media stream is streamed in synchronization with the primary media stream.

Abstract: Systems and method are provided for tracking online communities. One method includes at a first time, sorting the plurality of users by: determining that a group of the plurality of users belongs to a community, wherein the community has a community identification of zero; labeling each user in the group with the community identification of zero; labeling each user in the group with an algorithm identification, wherein the algorithm identification is associated with the community; determining that that one user of the group is a core user; and increasing the community identification counter by one; repeat the sorting until each user of the plurality of users is labeled with a community identification and an algorithm identification; and generate a community dynamics analysis based on the sorting of the plurality of users.

Abstract: A client application requesting to access a resource may be issued an access token and a refresh token. Instead of revoking the client application access to a resource by revoking the refresh token, allowing the access token to expire, and forcing a user associated with the client application to re-login, authentication for the client application to access the resource may be obtained from the user. The authentication may be obtained from the user while the client application, without notification of the concurrent authentication, may continue attempts to access the resource, for example, via an invalid access token. Once authentication is obtained, the client application may be provided access to the resource, for example, via a valid access token.

Abstract: A network interface can process a workload request and determine a resource to use to perform the workload request and to generate an executable for execution by the determined resource. A client device or software can determine available resource types. The client device or software can issue a request to perform a workload using a particular resource type. Using telemetry data and performance indicators of available resources, the network interface can select a resource to use to perform the workload. The network interface can translate a workload instruction into a format acceptable by the selected resource and provide the instruction in executable format to the selected resource.
