Abstract: Intelligent local management of data stream throttling in data movement operations, such as secondary-copy operations in a storage management system, is disclosed. A local throttling manager may intelligently interoperate with co-resident data agents and/or a media agent executing on any given local computing device, whether a client computing device or a secondary storage computing device. The local throttling manager may allocate and manage the available bandwidth for various jobs and their constituent data streams—across the data agents and/or media agent. Bandwidth is dynamically allocated and re-allocated to data streams used by ongoing jobs, in response to new jobs starting and old jobs completing, without having to pause and restart ongoing jobs to accommodate bandwidth adjustments.

Abstract: A system that allows participating users to find other users with similar interests or characteristics based on a map area on a requesting device and the characteristics of each user. The system only reports a counter so as to preserve user anonymity and safety. The system preserves the user anonymity and safety in even granular searches using zoomed-in map views by comparing a map elevation level with a threshold and then a counted number of matched devices against a number of devices threshold. If the map is too zoomed in and there are not enough devices within the zoomed in area, the system does not provide a counter.

Abstract: A system and method for adaptively identifying and correcting issues in a computing system, such as a distributed node computing system, are described. The method includes receiving node data from a group of nodes, the node data describing one or more operational characteristics of a node. The operational characteristics may include CPU load, memory load, latency, or other operational data that describes node performance. Reachability data for the group of nodes is generated by trying to contact each node. Code version data is generated for each node that identifies which version of code applications in the node are running. The nodes are grouped into clusters using density-based clustering to identify outliers. A correlation is determined between the reachability, code version, and outlier data to identify problems and issue corrective actions.

Abstract: At an SDN controller executing using a processor and a memory, a tracing packet is configured with a default value in a tag field. The tracing packet is inserted from the SDN controller into the SDN at a switch in the SDN. A returned packet and a port identifier is received at the controller, from the switch, the returned packet including a modified content in a location of the tracing packet that is different from the tag field. The port identifier corresponds to a port of the switch on which the switch received the returned packet from an middlebox. A function of the middlebox is identified by analyzing a modification applied to the modified content by the middlebox. The function of the middlebox and a location of the middlebox in the SDN are saved. The location includes the port identifier and an identifier of the switch.

Abstract: Address information of a mail to be transmitted by a mail communication function is extracted from the mail to be transmitted; a transmission time of the mail to be transmitted is extracted from a portable information terminal; and judgment is made as to whether the address information matches predetermined address information and whether the transmission time belongs to a predetermined time zone. When the address information matches the predetermined address information, and the address information belongs to the predetermined time zone, an activation time at which a household appliance is to be activated is determined on the basis of the transmission time, and a control command for activating the household appliance at the activation time is transmitted to a network.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a system that facilitates schematized access control in a content centric network. During operation, the system generates, by a content producing device, a secret key for a user based on a schema, wherein the schema is a regular expression which corresponds to one or more names and allows a user access to content associated with the names, wherein a name is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level. The system receives an interest with a name that corresponds to the schema. The system encrypts a payload of a responsive content object based on the interest name. The system transmits the responsive content object with the encrypted payload to the user, which allows the user to decrypt the encrypted payload with the secret key.

Abstract: A real-time Internet streaming system and method includes a scheduling server that receives queries from encoders and determines if any scheduled events associated with a particular media encoders is an active scheduled event by comparing the scheduled events with time and date information. When there is an active scheduled event the scheduling server sends a response to the media encoders to stream a media stream to an origin server. When the scheduling server determines that an active scheduled event is no longer active, the scheduling server sends a response to the media encoders to stop streaming. The origin server can send the media stream or a modified version of the media stream to a plurality of viewing devices or archive the media stream for later playback. The real-time Internet streaming system can include a scheduling server, origin servers, and a plurality of encoders.
