Abstract: Various systems, device and automated processes allow video streaming hosts or other server devices to publish their internal/local addresses (e.g., addresses used on a subnet or other local area network) to a backend address server operating on a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet. Client devices attempting to subsequently contact server devices operating in the same local network can contact the address to obtain the internal address of the target server, thereby allowing direct LAN connections between clients and servers.

Abstract: Techniques for service level performance updates based on network level factors are described. by establishing a co-operative model between a network fabric and service proxies to enhance the service mesh failure management primitives as well as bring in network level intelligence in service (service instance) placement decisions in the fabric. A virtual network edge (VNE) instance interacts with the network fabric including the next level switches (such as a top of rack switch) and a network controller in order to determine a network level health-score and a modulated health-score for a service instance executing on the node. The modulated health score causes actions such as an influence on load balancing, request routing, rolling upgrades, canary deployments, change in the utilization of network resources, a downgrade of service, etc., based on the network level health-score.

Abstract: A content distribution facilitation system is described comprising configured servers and a network interface configured to interface with a plurality of terminals in a client server relationship and optionally with a cloud-based storage system. A request from a first source for content comprising content criteria is received, the content criteria comprising content subject matter. At least a portion of the content request content criteria is transmitted to a selected content contributor. If recorded content is received from the first content contributor, the first source is provided with access to the received recorded content. The recorded content may be transmitted via one or more networks to one or more destination devices. Optionally, a voice analysis and/or facial recognition engine are utilized to determine if the recorded content is from the first content contributor.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for providing dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) services to different data compute nodes (e.g., virtual machines) that belong to different logical networks (e.g., for different tenants in a datacenter). In some embodiments, the method inserts a logical network identifier (LNI) value to each DHCP packet and forwards the packet to a DHCP server module for processing the DHCP request. Based on the LNI value, the DHCP server of some embodiments identifies the logical network from which the DHCP packet is received. The DHCP server then provides the requested DHCP service (e.g., assigning an IP address to a data compute node that has originated the DHCP packet, assigning a domain name, etc.) according to a DHCP service configuration for the identified logical network.

Abstract: A monitoring system monitors processing of incoming messages and logs data related to performance of an application that processes the messages. The monitoring system temporarily associates reusable identifiers with the messages and logs data upon each message traversing different points in the application. Each of the identifiers is sized such that the storage space necessary to store the identifier is less than the storage space necessary to store an identifier sized to uniquely identify all of the plurality of messages, and the identifiers and the logged data are configured to minimize a performance penalty of monitoring the application. The monitoring system parses the data, e.g., during post-processing, to determine, from a plurality of data entries that refers to the same identifier, a subset of the data entries where the same identifier was associated with the same message.

Abstract: A high-performance distributed ledger and transaction computing network fabric over which large numbers of transactions (involving the transformation, conversion or transfer of information or value) are processed concurrently in a scalable, reliable, secure and efficient manner. In one embodiment, the computing network fabric or “core” is configured to support a distributed blockchain network that organizes data in a manner that allows communication, processing and storage of blocks of the chain to be performed concurrently, with little synchronization, at very high performance and low latency, even when the transactions themselves originate from distant sources. This data organization relies on segmenting a transaction space within autonomous but cooperating computing nodes that are configured as a processing mesh. According to an aspect of this disclosure, the CDN edge network is then used to deliver receipts associated with transactions that are processed into the blockchain.

In one implementation, the system may include a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions may include instructions to determine whether a first message in a first message group substantially matches a second message in a second message group; and after it is determined that a user associated with the first message group has accessed the first message, record the second message as a read message responsive to having determined that the same user is associated with the second message group.

Abstract: A session border manager (SBM) may receive a session initiation protocol (SIP) request for a session or a service involving a first user equipment (UE) that is subscribed to a first network and a second UE, that is subscribed to a second network, wherein the SIP request indicates a service type of the session or the service. The SBM may determine, based on the service type, a subnetwork of the second network that is to facilitate the session or the service, wherein the subnetwork is one subnetwork, of a plurality of subnetworks, of the second network that is designated to manage communications that are associated with the service type. The SBM may transmit the SIP request to the subnetwork to cause the subnetwork to initiate the session or the service with the second UE. The SBM may receive, from the subnetwork, a response to the SIP request.

Abstract: A network switch and a network switch system thereof are provided. The network switch includes a plurality of connection ports and a processing circuit. When any of the connection ports receives a first abnormal message packet and one of the connection ports is in a disabled state, the processing circuit sets the connection port in the disabled state to switch to an enabled state, and the processing circuit does not forward the first abnormal message packet in the single loop network. When one of the connection ports is abnormal and each of the connection ports forming the single loop network is in the enabled state, the processing circuit sets the abnormal connection port to switch to the disabled state, and transmits a second abnormal message packet to other network switches in the single loop network through another connection port that is not abnormal.
