The second meeting list includes meetings that correspond respectively to the meetings in the first meeting list. The method further includes establishing an association relationship between a meeting in the first meeting list and a meeting in the second meeting list.

Abstract: A method for overriding a preferred locality attribute value using preferred location attribute values and traffic distribution attribute values to facilitate a desired traffic distribution among producer NFs includes receiving, from a query originator, an NF discovery request including a target NF type attribute value and a preferred locality attribute value. The method further includes selecting NF profiles that have an NF type attribute value that matches the target NF type attribute value and a locality attribute value that matches a preferred location attribute value mapped to the preferred locality attribute value. The method further includes modifying at least one attribute value in the NF profiles according to traffic distribution attribute values to achieve a predetermined distribution of SBI request message traffic among producer NFs by the query originator. The method further includes generating and sending an NF discovery response including the NF profiles.

Abstract: System and method embodiments of centralized discovery controller (CDC) services on a switching network fabric are disclosed. Nodes on the switching network fabric are categorized into leader nodes, e.g., spine switches, and follower nodes, e.g., leaf switches. The CDC services may be divided into centralized CDC services and distributed CDC services, which have direct connections to endpoints for seamless horizontal scaling of endpoints. The centralized CDC services may be placed on a leader node, and the distributed CDC services may be placed among the follower nodes. Operations of the CDC services may be monitored. In case of a node failure, CDC services deployed on the failed node may be moved or transferred to one or more other nodes that have the same role as the failed node. Implementations of the CDC service placement embodiments enable seamless horizontal scaling for endpoints and provide capability for more visibility and monitoring of endpoint.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for an enhanced reconfigurable interconnect network. The reconfigurable interconnect network can be used to switch between multiple different connection topologies for different sizes of subsets of processing nodes in a cluster. For example, for a given number of processing nodes to be used, different connection topologies can provide different levels of scalability, data transfer bandwidth among processing nodes, and latency for transfers among processing nodes. In some implementations, the connection topologies can assign connections for each of the data ports of the processing nodes used, to maximize utilization of the data ports and provide better performance.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for grouping computing devices in a computing network and predicting future communications links between computing devices for the purpose of developing a computing network microsegmentation policy. In one or more examples, the systems and methods described herein can predict future links in a computing network using a plurality of combinations of node similarity, node grouping, and link prediction methods. Each unique combination of methods can be assessed by comparing the predicted links to observed network traffic to determine the quality of the prediction. The quality of prediction can be assessed by generate F1 curves for each combination of methods. The combination with the highest quality prediction can then be selected and tuned (by adjusting a threshold associated with the combination). Once tuned, the selected combination (i.e., model) can then be used generate and/or modify a microsegmentation policy associated with the computing network.

Abstract: In examples, a first Anycast advertisement is received from a first server identifying the first server as a primary address for a service. In addition, a second Anycast advertisement is received from the first server identifying the first server as a secondary address for the service. Further, a third Anycast advertisement is received from a second server identifying the second server as the secondary address for the service. A first community advertisement is also from the first server identifying the first server as a member of a first community. Thereafter, a first request is received from a client including the primary address, and the request is routed to the first server. When a second request from the client is received including the secondary address, based at least on the community advertisement, the first server is ignored, and the second request is routed to the second server.

Abstract: Continuous and non-episodic user sessions in a virtual world are facilitated by providing a virtual service center with alternative virtual experiences selected to retain user presence in the virtual world. The virtual service center is associated with a mobile network operator (MNO) of a telecommunications network and is provided to enable resolution or fulfillment of network service issues indicated by users. The alternative virtual experiences are selected and users driven thereto to continuously engage users in the virtual world outside of the immediate context of their service issues and resolution thereof.

Abstract: A content distribution network is made up of terminals and servers that are connected as a network and cooperate in order to make content or data available to users. In order to be able to control access to the content via certain terminals, a solution called “URL signing” has been discussed. A “URL signing” solution requires establishing an active connection between a terminal requesting content and an originating server associated with the requested content. The solution relates to a method for accessing content implemented by a cache server, thus dispensing with the need for an active connection between a terminal requesting content and the originating server associated with the requested content.

Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for ensuring that one or more compliance information bundles associated with one or more end-point identifiers maintain compliance with one or more regulations. It is detected that a rules engine has been updated with a new regulation. Based on an identification that one or more compliance information bundles associated with the one or more end-point identifiers will not be compliant with the new regulation after an expiration of a grace period associated with the new regulation, a status associated with each one or more compliance information bundles is changed to a provisionally-approved status. The changing of the status associated with each of the one or more compliance information bundles to the provisionally-approved status causes each of the one or more compliance information bundles to be treated, temporarily like the status of each the one or more compliance information bundles is an approved status.
