Abstract: A first aggregation layer device at a first site learns Media Access Control (MAC) address information received from a second aggregation layer device at a second site. The MAC address information includes: a VLAN identifier (ID), an aggregated MAC address, and an aggregated MAC address mask configured at the second site. When receiving a message addressed to the VLAN ID and a destination MAC address, the first aggregation layer device searches for the MAC address information based on the VLAN ID and destination MAC address and forwards the message to the second aggregation layer device according to the MAC address information. The destination MAC address belongs to the same MAC address segment as the aggregated MAC address and searching for the MAC address information includes mask matching based on the aggregated MAC address mask.

Abstract: The disclosure relates, e.g., to media processing methods and arrangements.

Abstract: An error-recovery method to enable error-free message transfer between nodes of a computer network. A first node of the network sends a packet to a second node of the network over a link between the nodes, and the first node keeps a copy of the packet on a sending end of the link until the first node receives acknowledgment from the second node that the packet was received without error. The second node tests the packet to determine if the packet is error free. If the packet is not error free, the second node sets a flag to mark the packet as corrupt. The second node returns acknowledgement to the first node specifying whether the packet was received with or without error. When the packet is received with error, the link is returned to a known state and the packet is sent again to the second node.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of managing inbound throughput for at least one storage read request can include analyzing, at a server, a given storage read request to determine required network throughput at network ports of the server. Each of the storage read requests can be directed to a storage device. The method can further include queuing, at the server, the given storage read request if the required throughput of the given storage read request combined with throughput of outstanding storage read requests previously sent to the storage device saturates the available bandwidth of the network ports of the server. The method can additionally include sending the given storage request from the server to the storage device if the required throughput of the storage read request along with throughput of the outstanding read requests is below the level of available bandwidth of the network ports of the server.

The management controller may be configured to be communicatively coupled to one or more remote access controllers of the one or more modular information handling systems received in the chassis and further configured to share a single remote access controller firmware image such that each of the one or more remote access controllers loads and executes the single remote access controller firmware image.

Abstract: Uploading an image to a website server receives position data defining an image area on a display screen of an image to be uploaded. An image file is created of the image area and uploads the image to the website server. In some examples, the position data are provided by a pointing device with an image upload button.

Abstract: A method for measuring performance of virtual desktop services offered by a server including a processor is described. A first encoded watermark is embedded into user interface display generated by a virtual desktop when initiating an operation. The first encoded watermark includes pixels identifying the operation and indicating its initiation. A second encoded watermark is embedded into the user interface upon completion of the operation indicating completion of the operation. An action performance time is then computed and stored in a memory. Multiple performance times may be compiled from multiple operations of multiple virtual desktops to assess the performance of the system as a whole.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a mixed-mode authorization metadata manager for cloud computing environments are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of service managers coordinating respective distributed multitenant services, and a metadata manager. In response to a metadata request for an authorization entity, the metadata manager identifies a first and a second service manager coordinating services in use by a client account with which the authorization entity is affiliated. The first and second service managers implement respective authorization APIs. The metadata manager provides composite authorization metadata of the authorization entity based at least in part on (a) service authorization metadata provided by each of the first and second service managers and (b) identity authorization metadata provided by an identity manager.

Abstract: A server device delivers content to a client device by sending the content as a series of segments using chunked delivery. The sending is paced in accordance with a class of service for the client device, the class of service having an associated target chunk send time that decreases with higher classes of service. Pacing includes sending a chunk over an actual chunk send time and calculating an inter-chunk delay as a difference between the target chunk send time and the actual chunk send time. If the inter-chunk delay is positive, then the server waits the inter-chunk delay before beginning to send a next successive chunk, and otherwise it immediately begins sending the next successive chunk. The server also employs bitrate selection to manage client use of available bandwidth.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a system and method for uploading large files to a remote server faster. The system and method divide the file into smaller file chunks and utilize parallel thread execution to prepare and upload the file chunks to the remote server. The uploading may further utilize a plurality of HTTP connections. Once all chunks have been uploaded to the remote server, the chunks may be consolidated into the original file by using content tokens and chunk numbers associated with the uploaded chunks.

Abstract: A client device downloads content from a content delivery network as segments encoded at respective bitrates selected from distinct encoding bitrates. Downloading is paced per a class of service having an associated abort timeout increasing with higher classes of service. Pacing includes downloading a segment encoded at a first bitrate and monitoring for the earlier of completing the downloading or aborting the downloading based on the abort timeout. Upon the downloading being aborted, a first backoff duration is calculated as a remainder of a playback interval and the first backoff duration is waited before downloading of the same segment is re-initiated at a second bitrate less than the first bitrate. Upon the downloading completing successfully, a second backoff duration is calculated and the second backoff duration is waited before downloading is initiated of a next segment encoded at either the first bitrate or at a greater third bitrate.
