Abstract: In one embodiment, a domain name system (DNS) server processes a DNS query based on a policy statement that is attached to the DNS query. Upon receiving the DNS query, the DNS server executes one or more commands specified in the policy statement to generate a query state. The query state controls DNS resolution behavior that the DNS server implements as part of processing the DNS query. The DNS server then performs one or more DNS resolution operations based on DNS query and the query state to generate a response. Advantageously, because the semantics of the policy statement are encapsulated within the policy statement, the policy statement enables a client to unambiguously control DNS resolution behavior. By contrast, conventional DNS resolution guidance mechanisms that rely on DNS servers to infer policies based on client data may not reflect the preferences of the clients.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to configuring network devices. For example, a network device includes a controller module to receive a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) message from a second network device in response to determining that connection to a management device has failed. The controller module is to send a second LLDP message to the second device, where information contained is the second LLDP message is routed to the management device by the second device. The controller module is further to receive configuration changes from the management device and connect to the management device based on the configuration changes, where the configuration changes are routed by the second device.

Abstract: Systems and methods of determining a geographic location based conversion via a computer network. A data processing system can receive, from a computing device, an indication of interest in an online content item that is associated with a commercial entity having a location. The system can also receive data points that each include time information and location information of a computing device. The system can generate a valid cluster indicating an activity at the location of the commercial entity by evaluating the time information and the location information of two or more data points with a duration threshold and a location threshold. The system can use the valid cluster to identify the indication of interest in the online content item as the location based conversion based on the activity at the location of the commercial entity.

Abstract: A system of dynamically-instantiated data server components provides access to a data repository. Different data server components are assigned to different data collections in the repository. A distribution component receives messages and, based on data collection identifiers associated with the messages, routes the messages to corresponding data server components. Based on the messages, the data server components perform data operations with respect to their corresponding data collections. Data server components may be terminated when their assigned data collections are not in use. When an incoming message is associated with a data collection for which no data server component exists, the distribution component dynamically instantiates a new data server component for the data collection. In an embodiment, data server components make working copies of their respectively assigned data collections in a high-speed memory.
