Abstract: In various embodiments, a software load balancer is deployed to distribute incoming managed file traffic among multiple nodes running in a cluster. In one aspect, a separate instance of the software load balancer may be instantiated for each protocol that will be used (e.g., FTP, FTP-SSL & SSH-FTP). In one embodiment, the software load balancer includes a standalone java application that is configured to run outside the purview of an application server. In a further embodiment, the software load balancer is able to manage transfers to multiple nodes in (e.g., multiple managed file transfer servers) in a cluster. Therefore, in one embodiment, only one instance of the software load balance needs to be deployed.

Abstract: A messaging platform forms an interactive message with one or more components and broadcasts the interactive message to client devices associated with accounts. The interactive message has a plurality of states that update based on event data received from a content source. While the event is in progress, the messaging platform receives event data relating to the event and transitions to an updated state based on the received event data. When the interactive message transitions to the updated state, the messaging platform updates the interactive message broadcast to the client devices. The interactive message may include interactive components that accounts may use to perform various interactions with the event, the content source, or each other.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and software are disclosed for providing application levels of service over a network. Embodiments of the invention maintain a list of registered applications (or application providers) that have registered with a network resources provider. Customers of the network resources provider may authenticate some or all of the registered applications, indicating a desire to allow traffic relating to those applications over their access networks. Customers may further set application levels of service with respect to those authenticated applications. Certain embodiments may manage network traffic to accord with the application levels of service.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for extracting information associated with one networking transmission protocol, such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), based on information associated with a different networking transmission protocol, such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv4). More specifically, when resolving an IP address for a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) through which a content file may be obtained, the system may base the resolved URL on attributes of an IPv4 address extracted from an IPv6 address for a machine associated with the request. In one particular example, a geographic location of a requested computing device or machine may be determined or estimated based on an IPv4 address extracted from an IPv6 address associated with the request.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for identifying a list of destination servers ordered by round-trip time (RTT) for a requesting machine. When a client interacts with an address, such as an IP address, when accessing a remote service, an RTT is collected for the address, or the RTT may be derived for a range of addresses, and saved in a database. When the client subsequently requests access to a remote service, a list of destination servers are returned, respectively identified by corresponding addresses. The destination servers can be sorted in order of efficiency by determining an expected RTT associated with a matching address, or range, in the database, and sorting the destination servers by their respective expected RTTs.
