Abstract: In a system including a plurality of computing subsystems executing a set of hosted applications, each of the computing subsystems maintains a copy of a common routing matrix defining, for each hosted application, an identifier of a computing subsystem configured to host the application. A first intra-subsystem routing component of a first one of the computing subsystems receives a message; determines a target one of the hosted applications to process the message; identifies, according to the common routing matrix, a second one of the computing subsystems that executes the target hosted application; and in response to the identifying, provides the message and a routing indicator to a first inter-subsystem routing component of the first computing subsystem. The first inter-subsystem routing component the transmits the message to the second computing subsystem.

Abstract: Techniques and systems to provide a more intuitive user overview of events data by mapping unbounded incident scores to a fixed range and aggregating incident scores by different schemes. The system may detect possible malicious incidents associated with events processing on a host device. The events data may be gathered from events detected on the host device. The incident scores for incidents may be determined from the events data. The incident scores may be mapped to bins of a fixed range to highlight the significance of the incident scores. For instance, a first score mapped to a first bin may be insignificant while a second score mapped to a last bin may require urgent review. The incident scores may also be aggregated at different levels (e.g., host device, organization, industry, global, etc.) and at different time intervals to provide insights to the data.

Abstract: A troubleshooting method, a device, and a readable storage medium are provided, to detect a unidirectional fault in a ring Ethernet and provide a fault recovery mechanism after the unidirectional fault occurs. In embodiments of this application, if determining that a link corresponding to a receiving unit of a first port is in a fault status, the first device performs loopback on the first port, and sends a first continuity check message to a second device via the first port. The first continuity check message carries first indication information. The first indication information indicates that a link corresponding to a receiving unit of a port that sends the first indication information is in a fault status.

Abstract: Live performances are coordinated at venues using a host (server) and client (user devices). Scripts for live performances are stored at the host. Each script has roles for playing by users (actors) and has teleprompter text for delivery at a sequence in the live performances. Media elements are associated at the host in the sequence of the teleprompter text for output in the live performances. Once a lobby is created for a live performance at a venue, clients are associated at the host with the roles for the script. The host delivers the teleprompter text for output in real time at the sequence during the live performance with the clients at the venue, and the host delivers the associated media elements for output in the sequence during the live performance at the venue. Each venue can have an associated configuration for media output so the host can deliver the media elements according to the configuration.

Abstract: A set of identifying elements of a first network is determined from a set of data. For each identifying element of the set of identifying elements, a first frequency at which the identifying element is associated with a first set of systems connected to the first network is determined, and a second frequency at which the identifying element is associated with a second set of systems of other networks accessible via the Internet is determined. It is determined if each identifying element is associated with the first set of systems at a greater frequency than with the second set of systems based, at least in part, on the first frequency and the second frequency. If an identifying element is associated with the first set of systems at a greater frequency than with the second set of systems, the identifying element is indicated as a fingerprint of the first network.

Abstract: A tool for network-based package monitoring and recovery. The tool scans a database to identify a gap in network traffic data. The tool determines whether at least one gap in the network traffic data is identified in the database, wherein the at least one gap is a gap in communication between a target device and a communication serve. Responsive to a determination that at least one gap in the network traffic data is identified, the tool determines a missing package from a package archive. The tool determines whether there is active network traffic between the target device and the communication server. Responsive to a determination that there is active network traffic between the target device and the communication server, the tool replays the missing package in the active network traffic between the target device and the communication server.

Abstract: A first router transmits a first message including information identifying a first set of transport layer protocols supported by the first router. The first router receives a second message including information identifying a second set of transport layer protocols supported by a second router. A common transport layer protocol is selected from a subset of transport layer protocols that are common to the first and second sets of transport layer protocols.

The first message is unicast to the second router or broadcast/multicast over a plurality of links to a plurality of routers that includes the second router. In some cases, the common transport layer protocol is selected by the router having a higher priority, based on preferences, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A pre-shared compression dictionary is received. The pre-shared compression dictionary was generated based on an analysis of sample data for use in compression of other data. A compressed version of a batch of machine-generated data is received. The batch of machine-generated data has been compressed at least in part using the pre-shared compression dictionary and a batch-specific compression dictionary. The received compressed batch is uncompressed using the batch-specific compression dictionary to determine an intermediate version. The intermediate version is uncompressed using the pre-shared compression dictionary to determine an uncompressed version of the batch of machine-generated data.
