  • Patent number: 11374837
    Abstract: A method and system for categorizing Internet Protocol (IP) based network traffic is configured to monitor domain name system (DNS) transactions between at least one customer device and a DNS service. The DNS transactions are used to populate a data table, which is used to enrich a data record (e.g., IPDR). In particular, an IP address and/or customer ID in the data record is used to look up the corresponding domain name in the data table, which is added to the data record. The enriched data record is used to categorize the IP traffic.

  • Patent number: 11258728
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying different virtual networks over several public cloud datacenters for different entities. For each entity, the method (1) identifies a set of public cloud datacenters of one or more public cloud providers to connect a set of machines of the entity, (2) deploys managed forwarding nodes (MFNs) for the entity in the identified set of public cloud datacenters, and then (3) configures the MFNs to implement a virtual network that connects the entity's set of machines across its identified set of public cloud datacenters. In some embodiments, the method identifies the set of public cloud datacenters for an entity by receiving input from the entity's network administrator. In some embodiments, this input specifies the public cloud providers to use and/or the public cloud regions in which the virtual network should be defined. Conjunctively, or alternatively, this input in some embodiments specifies actual public cloud datacenters to use.

  • Patent number: 11243822
    Abstract: A method for automatically verifying a message using a remote system includes receiving, at a remote system, a request to launch an application from a current user to communicate where the request includes a unique feature associated with a potential user's device that is required for registration. The method includes generating a selectable-link, and transmitting a first message that includes the selectable-link to the potential user's device. The first message is configured to cause the potential user's device to display the link, launch the application in response to receiving selection indication of the selectable-link, and transmit a verification code to the remote system. The method further includes registering the potential user's device in response to receiving the verification code.

  • Patent number: 11240335
    Abstract: A content caching system intercepts a request from a user device for delivery of an item of popular content stored in the cache, redirects the request to a gateway based on a determination that the requesting device may receive the item from the gateway which provides a multicast service for the item, wherein the redirecting occurs subsequent to the device being able to join a wireless multicast of the requested content after a period of delivery of a portion of the content from the cache to the device while the content is in the midst of being delivered to the device so that delivery from the cache is terminated and delivery continues such that a subsequent portion of the popular content is delivered to the device from the gateway as part of the wireless multicast.

  • Patent number: 11226944
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for cache management. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, the server computer can be configured to communicate with a client device configured to execute a cache module to maintain a cache storing data downloaded from and/or uploaded to the server computer by the client device. The server computer can be configured to receive requests for data stored at the server computer. The server computer can be configured to respond to the request with hashes that correspond to the requested data. The client device can search the cache for the hashes, obtain the data from the cache if the hashes are found, and/or download the data from the server computer if the hashes are not found. The client device also can be configured to update the cache upon uploading the data to the server computer.

  • Patent number: 11212338
    Abstract: A system implements managed scaling of a processing service in response to message traffic. Producers produce messages or other data and the messages are stored in a queue or message system. On behalf of consumers of the messages, workers of a client of the queue poll the queue or message service to obtain the messages. For example, a primary worker of the client polls the queue for messages and upon receiving a message, activates a secondary worker from a pool of secondary workers to start polling the queue for message. Now both workers are obtaining messages from the queue, and both workers may activate other secondary workers, exponentially scaling the message processing service in embodiments. When a secondary worker receives an empty polling response, the secondary deactivates back to the pool. The primary thread does not deactivate, even when empty polling responses are received.

  • Patent number: 11184301
    Abstract: Systems and methods for entity recommendation can make use of rich data by allowing the items to be recommended and the recipients of the recommendation (e.g., users) to be modeled as “complex entities” composed of one or more static sub-entities and/or a dynamic component, and by utilizing information about multiple relationships between the sub-entities as reflected in bipartite graphs. Generating recommendations from such information may involve creating vector representations of the sub-entities based on the bipartite graphs (e.g., using graph-based convolutional networks), and combining these vector representations into representations of the items and users (or other recipients) to be fed into a classifier model.

  • Patent number: 11184461
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising obtaining media content; receiving a request from equipment of a user to view the media content; identifying a predicted field of view of the user; sending a base layer of the media content to the equipment of the user using a first stream; and sending a first enhancement layer of the predicted field of view to the equipment of the user using a second stream. The first stream and the second stream may utilize different protocols, different servers, different buffer sizes, and/or a combination thereof. While the first stream may include an entire 360 degrees of the base layer of the media content, the second stream may be limited to the first enhancement layer of the predicted field of view of the media content.

  • Patent number: 11164162
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to closed-loop resource event processing in which an initial determination as to whether a resource event requiring real-time processing can be processed absent an external real-time processing network. In the event that a determination is made that the resource event can by processed absent the external real-time processing network, a closed network group is created internally within the event-initiating system and the event is processed internally within the event initiating-system. By limiting the use of the real-time processing network to only those resource event that require such processing, less burden is placed on real-time processing network, meaning less processing resources are required and the processing that is required on the real-time processing network can occur more efficiently and effectively.
