Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system to facilitate hierarchical data exchange may include an aggregation platform data store containing electronic records. A data aggregation platform may collect, from a plurality of data source devices, information associated with a plurality of data sources and store the collected information into the aggregation platform data store. The data aggregation platform may also receive a data request from a data consumer device, and, responsive to the received data request, determine a precision tier associated with the data request. The data aggregation platform may then automatically calculate a resource value for the data request based on the precision tier. It may then be arranged for information from the aggregation platform data store to be modified and transmitted to the data consumer device.

Abstract: A method includes transmitting initial page data from a service platform customer instance to a client device. The initial page data representing a first page of a portal, and the first page includes a widget associated with a second page. The method further includes receiving, from the client device, a selection of the widget. The method further includes obtaining mapping data indicating an association between the second page and a third page, the association specific to the portal. The method further includes, in response to the selection and the association, routing the client device to the third page rather than the second page.

Abstract: A system and corresponding method gather information about browsing and purchasing behavior of web users to avoid tracking information associated with individual web browser instances. The system enables collection of historical and statistical information by legitimate interested parties to be severed from information about the behavior of a browser instance, and so too from information about the user of the browser instance. The system is configured to perform at least one of: (i) masking a web browser cookie to prevent use of the cookie to access browsing information related to a user and (ii) replace stories about sequences of browser behaviors with statistics about abstracted “story types.” A story type is a sequence of behavior types common to all web browser instances which have performed that sequence. An example embodiment uses masking and aggregation techniques, frequently, and includes a variety of industry standard security measures specially adapted to these purposes.

Abstract: Techniques for scalable virtualization of an Input/Output (I/O) device are described. An electronic device composes a virtual device comprising one or more assignable interface (AI) instances of a plurality of AI instances of a hosting function exposed by the I/O device. The electronic device emulates device resources of the I/O device via the virtual device. The electronic device intercepts a request from the guest pertaining to the virtual device, and determines whether the request from the guest is a fast-path operation to be passed directly to one of the one or more AI instances of the I/O device or a slow-path operation that is to be at least partially serviced via software executed by the electronic device. For a slow-path operation, the electronic device services the request at least partially via the software executed by the electronic device.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for sanitizing logged data packets in a distributed system prior to storing them in a remote or third-party data server. Interactions with an application are monitored and values in a data packet are extracted from the interaction. The values are classified based on a classification configuration and respective labels of the values. The values are then sanitized based on the classification to prevent exposure of secure or private data. The sanitized data packets are then logged into the remote data server. The logged data can be used to help resolve events occurring in the application. The classification configuration can be iteratively updated and the interactions repeated to capture data that was previously sanitized to aid in resolution of events. The logged data can also be used in research or analysis, such as for identifying potential improvements to the application.

Abstract: Example network devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. In an example, a network device includes memory configured to store information associated with one or more service level agreements (SLAs) for applications in a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) and an application-based multipath routing (AMR) module including processing circuitry. The AMR module is configured to identify, based on criteria, one or more of the applications for AMR, wherein each criterion of the criteria is associated with a corresponding property of an application. The AMR module is configured to determine a breach of one of the SLAs on each WAN link associated with a first application of the identified one or more applications. The AMR module is configured to apply, in response to determining the breach, AMR for the first application.

Abstract: The system disclosed herein implements an improved end-to-end network performance for data transmissions that span multiple networks operated by different organizations. The improvements are achieved as a result of exchanging routing information. For instance, the exchanged routing information can be representative of network performance factors. When different operators of different networks agree to exchange routing information, an optimal end-to-end path between two endpoint devices can be identified and selected for data transmission. This benefits both network operators as the users served by the networks are more likely to be satisfied with the user experience (e.g., faster download and upload of data).

Abstract: Data messages such as data packets in an IPv4 or IPv6 format are processed with a view to compression/decompression, using information obtained from sources other than the data packet itself, or the stream to which it belongs. This may involve additional dynamic processing defined in specifications identified by a shared marker, or obtained from an additional data source such as a static file, database application or the like. Embodiments described herein enhance this approach with a dynamic determination of data components.
