Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to methods and routers. One method includes: receiving a data packet from a source host router connected to a source host, said packet comprising a source IP address of the source host and a destination IP address of a destination host, the data packet being received on an interface of the source edge router identified by a virtual private network identity, VRF-ID; extracting, from a configuration information on said interface, of the source edge router, a zone-identity, zone-ID, of a destination edge router to which a destination host router is associated, wherein the destination host router is connected to the destination host, adding the zone-ID and the VRF-ID at Layer 2.5 of the data packet; and sending the data packet towards the destination edge router having the assigned zone-ID.

Abstract: An aspect includes the automatic generation of blueprints for orchestration engines from discovered workload representations. A computer-implemented method includes receiving, using a processor, a description of a workload executing in a source computing environment. The description of the workload is mapped, using the processor, to one or more resource descriptors located in a repository of resource descriptors describing resources available in a target computing environment. A declarative representation of the workload in the target computing environment is generated, using the processor, based at least in part on the mapping and the description of the workload. The declarative representation includes a specification of resources required by the workload in the target environment.

Abstract: This document describes an adaptive bitrate streaming method allowing streaming an audio video (AV) content to a client device using a multi content delivery network (CDN) approach. Each CDN stores multiple versions of a content that can be requested in the form of a succession of consecutive files using HTTP requests. The method is based on a use of an intermediate module, called diversity module, between an AV player of the client device and each CDN of a plurality of CDN. For each file of a version of a content requested by the AV player, the diversity module requests a manifest file to each CDN and estimates a bitrate of each CDN using reception performances of the manifest files. Each file is requested by the diversity module in the form of a succession of groups of segments structured according to a pattern comprising a predetermined number of segments.

Abstract: An accurate monitoring system for a multi-tenant system monitors each data stream of the multi-tenant system and determines the identity of the tenant using each of the data streams, and the application that the tenant is accessing. Aspects of each data stream are aggregated by a bucket aggregator to track and record trends for each tenant and/or each application. The aggregated data could be filtered, sorted, and reported for accurate subscription billing for each of the tenants and/or applications within a multi-tenant system.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to hybrid arbitration of requests for access to a shared pool of resources. An example implementation includes receiving a set of requests for access to the shared pool of resources. The requests may each be from any number of traffic classes. A traffic class may be selected according to turn-based arbitration logic. Additionally, a request from each traffic class of a subset of received requests may be selected. A request selected by the age-based arbitration logic and of the selected traffic class may be granted access to the shared pool of resources.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for infrastructure resource provisioning using trace-based workload temporal analysis. An infrastructure provider receives, from an on-premises infrastructure, scheduler traces of the on-premises infrastructure, one or more scenarios, one or more goals, and one or more constraints of resource deployment on the on-premises infrastructure. The infrastructure provider performs trace-based workload temporal analysis, based on the scheduler traces, the one or more scenarios, the one or more goals, and the one or more constraints. The infrastructure provider generates one or more options of provisioning infrastructure resources, based on the trace-based workload temporal analysis.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for generating recommended responses based on historical data. A messaging system receives a message as part of a communication session between a first client device and a second client device. The message originated from the first client device. The messaging system determines, using the message as input in a statistical model, a set of candidate responses for replying to the message. The statistical model was generated based on historical message data transmitted as part of previous communication sessions between a plurality of client devices. The set of candidate responses is a subset of a set of available candidate responses. The messaging system determines, based on a set of candidate selection rules, a subset of the candidate responses yielding a set of recommended responses to the message, and causes the set of recommended responses to be presented on the second client device.

Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions readable by an information processing apparatus. When executed by the computer, the instructions cause the information processing apparatus to perform: executing an obtaining processing for obtaining a URL; executing a determining processing for determining whether the number of characters of a first URL obtained in the obtaining processing is less than a threshold value; and executing a creating processing in which: in a case where the number of the characters of the first URL is less than the threshold value, the information processing apparatus creates a first two-dimensional code storing the first URL; and in a case where the number of the characters of the first URL is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the information processing apparatus creates a second two-dimensional code storing a second URL associated with the first URL and having less characters than the first URL.

Abstract: A logical configuration manager includes a persistent storage for storing a configuration specification for a distributed system. The logical configuration manager also includes a node configuration generator that makes a first determination that the configuration specification includes a logical portion for the distributed system; in response to the first determination, generates node configurations for nodes of the distributed system based, in part, on the logical portion; and orchestrates application of the node configurations to the nodes of the distributed system. Orchestration of the application of the node configurations to the nodes of the distributed system places the distributed system in a state that complies with the logical portion of the configuration specification.
