Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a proxy device, a document from a service provider in response to a request to the service provider from a client device. The proxy device injects into the document event monitoring code for monitoring user actions on the client device. The proxy device sends the document with the event monitoring code to the client device. The event monitoring code intercepts a user request for a file upload event using a client-side application on the client device. The proxy device receives a client request including file information regarding the file upload event from the event monitoring code. The proxy device determines whether the file upload event should be allowed or blocked based on the received file information and stored policy data.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to predict experience degradation in a microservice-based application comprising a plurality of microservices. Quality of service metrics are derived for each node from the historical event log data of nodes forming a plurality of directed acyclic graph (DAG) paths in the multiple-layer nodes. A clustering model clusters the plurality of quality of service metrics according to multiple levels of quality of experience and determines respective value ranges of each quality of service metric for the multiple levels of quality of experience. Each quality of service metric is labeled with one of the multiple levels of quality of service according to the respective value ranges. A support vector machine model predicts various experience degradation events which are expected to occur during the operation of the microservice-based application.

Abstract: A device, which is part of a decentralized media playout system, is located at a destination location. The device includes a processor, memory, a network interface, and a jitter buffer implemented in the memory. The jitter buffer buffers programming content and control messages, which are received from a source location of the decentralized media playout system, before transmitting them to a mixer. A first relative timing relationship between the programming content and the control messages exists at the source location, and a second, altered relative timing relationship between the programming content and the control messages exists at the destination location. The processor restores the first relative timing relationship between the programming content and the control messages, as it existed at the source location, by instructing the jitter buffer to delay transmitting either the programming content or the control messages to the mixer.

Abstract: Presented herein are a combination of techniques that will ensure that the traffic is sent to the proxy right from the first packet without any delay using transient transport, and upgraded to Hybrid Information-Centric Networking (hICN) immediately upon completion of the stack initialization and we have full connectivity. More specifically, a mechanism is provided to dynamically establish hICN connections to transport latency-sensitive traffic, due to a transient User Datagram Protocol (UDP) fallback. This allows a reliable conversion between the push-based IP model, and the pull-based hICN model with no connectivity interruption. This is useful to implement proxy functionalities exposing regular IP applications to hICN to leverage its benefits in terms of performance or seamless mobility.

Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for detecting network measurement inaccuracies through the detection of sender delays or packet drops. For example, a sender device of a test packet may determine whether the sender device is experiencing any issues in sending the test packet to a receiver device and notify a controller of the issues such that the controller may generate an indication that one or more Key Performance Indicator (KPI) measurements based on the test packets from the sender device are inaccurate and/or untrustworthy, remove the inaccurate KPI measurements, and/or adjust the inaccurate KPI measurements.

Abstract: A monitoring device for troubleshooting events in a datacenter network identifies a first network event for a time period, and provides an initial display page, one or more additional display pages, selectable display objects, and a representation of the first network event. The device generates a dynamic troubleshooting path for the first network event to track a user navigation between display pages, a manipulation of the one or more selectable display objects, and a last-current display page, and also provides an indication of a second network event associated with higher resolution priority relative to the first network event. Retrieving the dynamic troubleshooting path causes the interface to present the last-current display page, apply the manipulation of the one or more selectable display objects, and load the user navigation between the initial dashboard display page and the one or more additional display pages in a cache.

Abstract: Techniques for utilizing entropy labels of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label stack for performing monitoring operations (e.g., telemetry, performance measurement, OAM, etc.) without altering the MPLS label stack and/or packet path (e.g., ECMP path). The techniques may include determining, by a node of a network, to perform a monitoring operation associated with traffic that is to be sent along a path through the network. In some examples, the node may receive a packet that is to be sent along the path and encapsulate the packet with an MPLS header. The MPLS header may include an entropy label, entropy label indicator, or other label that is capable of carrying a flag indicating the monitoring operation to be performed. The flag may be carried in a TTL field or traffic class field of the label such that the MPLS label stack is not altered to trigger the monitoring operation.
