Abstract: The present application describes a system and method for rate limiting traffic of network users, such as virtual machines (VMs). In accordance with the disclosure, transmission queues for the VMs may be assigned to two levels of rate limiting. The first-level rate limit may be an individual rate limit for a particular transmission queue, while the second-level rate limit may be a group rate limit that is applied to a group of transmission queues. The first-level rate limit for some transmission queues may be performed using software rate limiting, while for other transmission queues the first-level rate limit may be performed using hardware rate limiting. The second-level rate limit may be applied to a group of transmission queues that contains both software first-level rate limited transmission queues and hardware first-level rate limited transmission queues.

The methods include providing the microblog page on a terminal of a user, the page being displayed in a timeline format; and providing an enriched message associated with an interactive application in the timeline, wherein the enriched message is configured to direct the terminal to present the interactive application in the timeline when the user clicks the enriched message.

Abstract: Users of social networking system are provided with user interface elements permitting the user to post comments on pages within the social networking system. Pages may be provided for any non-user entity, including for example, pages for businesses, products, concepts, etc. Embodiments provided herein permit page moderators to ban certain content from being displayed on a page. For example, the social networking system may receive a list of proscribed content and block comments containing the proscribed content by reducing the distribution of those comments to other viewing users. However, the social networking system may display the blocked content to the commenting user such that the commenting user is not made aware that his or her comment was blocked, thereby providing fewer incentives to the commenting user to spam the page or attempt to circumvent the social networking system filters.

Abstract: A solution for presenting mobile media information is provided, including: collecting audio data associated with mobile media information, transmitting the audio data to a mobile voice platform which stores the audio data and generates a tag corresponding to the audio data, obtaining the tag from the mobile voice platform, inserting the tag into a predetermined position in the mobile media information, presenting the mobile media information with the tag being inserted into, invoking the audio data corresponding to the tag from the mobile voice platform according to a trigger operation issued when a user browses the mobile media information, and playing the invoked audio data.

Abstract: Described is a server monitoring technology that is scalable to large numbers of servers, e.g., in a datacenter. Agents on servers run queries to monitor data sources for that server, such as performance counters and other events. The agents monitor their resource usage and those of monitored events to stay within an administrator-specified resource budget (policy), e.g., by modifying the running queries and/or monitoring parameters. A controller receives results of the monitoring, analyzes the results, and takes action as needed with respect to server operation and monitoring. The controller may dynamically update an agent's queries, monitoring parameters and/or monitored data post-processing operations. The controller may issue alerts and reports, including alerts indicative of inter-server problems between two or more servers.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for migrating availability of a resource type in a communication network using network function virtualization, comprising: selecting a resource type; selecting a first section of the network where demand for the resource type is expected to grow; selecting a second section of the network where demand for the resource type is expected to be stable relative to the first section; selecting a third section of the network communicatively coupled to the first and second sections, the third section comprising higher availability of the resource type than the first section; migrating a first virtual network function (VNF) instance from the third section to the first section; and migrating a second virtual network function instance from the second section to the third section.

Abstract: A message management service that acts as intermediary between a messaging service and a client device can generate a synchronization data bundle for a message that includes an external message identifier usable to retrieve the message from the messaging service. The message management service can send the synchronization data bundle to the client along with the message, and the client can store the synchronization data bundle for each message in its local data store. The client can later return the synchronization data bundle to the message management service, which can use information contained therein to facilitate synchronization and related operations.
