Abstract: A method, program product, and system for re-assembling fragmented HTTP2 fragments is provided. In response to receiving a SSL/TLS segment, a TCP sequence number hash table is queried for the TCP sequence number included in the SSL/TLS segment header. In response to locating a matching TCP sequence number, extracting from the TCP sequence number hash table an associated stream identifier, and resuming fragmented re-assembly using the associated stream identifier, by extracting the matching HTTP2 stream identifier from a HTTP2 hash table, a HTTP2 buffer and the remaining message length. A new HTTP2 hash table entry is created when a matching entry is not found, indicating start of a new message. For each segment, data from the SSL/TLS segment is appended to the HTTP2 buffer until the complete HTTP2 message is re-assembled. The re-assembled HTTP2 response/request is sent to its destination, and the corresponding entries are deleted from the hash tables.

According to the relaying system and method, a host server is able to provide services using information in a packet header such as an IP address of a terminal. The presence of a proxy may be not shown to the client and the server.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a streaming media play mode determination method and apparatus. The method includes: acquiring a streaming media play status in a current play mode, where the current play mode corresponds to a set of parameters for reflecting software and hardware states corresponding to a current play environment; calculating a candidate play mode according to the current play mode, if the streaming media play status satisfies a preset condition; and judging whether the current play mode is the same as the candidate play mode, and determining a play mode for streaming media to be played according to a result of the judgment. The embodiments of the present application provide a mechanism for intelligently selecting the streaming media play mode, make it possible to intelligently calculate the matching degrees of various types of algorithms in the current environment, enabling a best play mode to be preferentially selected.

Abstract: A method, operable by a service registry in a service orientated architecture system, for providing a service within the system. A service request is received from a service requester in the system. The status of the service is checked as registered in the service registry. In response to the service not having a registered service endpoint or a property of the service falling below a defined threshold, a request is sent to service providers or subsequent service registries to provide a new service and according to the defined threshold. In response to a service provider providing the new service according to the defined standard, the service registry is updated with the new service and responding to the service requester that the service is available. The embodiments allow both direct interaction between the requester and provider or indirect interaction via a service management layer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and systems for enforcing at least one rule within a geofence. The rule is enforced by a fencing agent on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The geofence is defined by a plurality of geographic designators, with the plurality of geographic designators each being associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) address, preferably an IPv6 address.

Abstract: A software-defined network-based method and system for implementing a content distribution network. An application function, control function, and network entity resource of a CDN are added respectively to an application layer, control layer, and data forwarding layer of an SDN. When a request for a CDN application is received, the SDN application layer generates resource requirement and service scheduling information based on the request, and transmits a reservation request for a resource required by the CDN application to an SDN control layer. The SDN control layer allocates a resource required by the CDN application to combine network load balancing and path policies and to generate a content routing table for data transmission, generating and transmitting L2 and L3 forwarding tables to the SDN data forwarding layer. When it receives content distribution and content delivery requests, the SDN data forwarding layer executes a CDN service-related operation based on the forwarding tables.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method to manage alerts, wherein the method includes receiving anomaly triggers associated with detected anomalies, associating an anomaly trigger of the received anomaly triggers with an alert, tracking the alert using a state machine, determining whether to change a state of the state machine if a subsequent anomaly trigger associated with the alert is received or if a predetermined amount of time passes without receiving trigger information, and generating an alarm based on the state of the state machine.

Abstract: A publish/subscribe interface is used to enable a non-publish/subscribe first system (such as an IP network device) to obtain status information about a publish/subscribe device that cannot be pinged by the first system. The first system sends a status request to a domain name server. The status request includes a domain name for the publish/subscribe device. Topic space maintained by a message broker in the publish/subscribe system includes status topics associated with publish/subscribe devices. The status topics contents reflect the current availability of the associated publish/subscribe device.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, facilitation of a dynamic rate limit may be provided. In some embodiments, an amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption for a set of computing devices on a network may be determined for a first time period. A total amount of available bandwidth on the network may be determined for the first time period. A ratio of the amount of aggregated bandwidth consumption to the total amount of available bandwidth may be determined. A bandwidth threshold may be determined based on the ratio. A rate limit for a first computing device (of the set of computing devices) may be dynamically set based on a comparison of the bandwidth threshold to bandwidth consumption of the first computing device.
