Abstract: A network optimizer receives, from a client device, a request for a network resource including a first version identifier identifying a first version of the network resource. A request for the network resource is transmitted to a far end network optimizer with a second version identifier that identifies a second version of the network resource. The network optimizer receives, from the far end network optimizer, a response that includes a first differences file that specifies first difference(s) between the second version with a most current version of the network resource. The response does not include the entire network resource. The network optimizer transmits to the client device a second response including a second differences file that identifies differences between the most current version of the network resource and the first version of the network resource causing the generation of an updated version of the network resource at the client device.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to context-aware virtualized control decision support system (“DSS”) for providing quality of experience (“QoE”) assurance for Internet protocol (“IP”) streaming video services. A QoE assurance DSS can monitor QoE event and context data to be utilized for QoE assurance analytics, measure QoE performance, perform QoE assurance analytics, and determine whether the QoE assurance analytics indicate that the QoE has been degraded, and if so, construct a fault correlation information model to be utilized for root cause analysis to determine a root cause of the QoE being degraded. The QoE assurance DSS also can determine, based upon the fault correlation information model, whether the root cause of the QoE being degraded is due to a capacity reduction, and if so, the QoE assurance DSS can identify a new network resource for capacity reallocation to accommodate a virtual machine migration.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for sharing network connections among client devices. A client device may connect to an intermediary system and request content from content provider. The intermediary system may, in addition to opening a connection with the content provider and receiving the content on behalf of the client, create a request profile for the client device regarding likely future content requests. The request profile may be used to assign the client device to network comparing components that have available open network connections to one or more content providers from which the client device is likely to request content. In some cases, a gateway network computing component may route content requests to other network computing components which have available open network connections to content providers hosting requested content. Additionally, the number of active network computing components may be adjusted to increase connection sharing and reuse opportunities.

Abstract: An indication is used to control how message service information is routed over different domains. For example, an access terminal may be configured with an indication that indicates that a message service is preferred to be invoked over an IP domain or that the message service is not be invoked over the IP domain. The access terminal then delivers message service information based on the value of the indication. In some cases, a network entity generates the indication and sends the indication to the access terminal. In some cases, a domain for delivery of message service information is selected based on a domain that was selected for particular type of traffic.

The system includes a phone number management server for managing phone number information and a linked home gateway identifier, an access list management server for managing an access list, a home gateway management server for managing state information and access information of a home gateway, and a service server for receiving a service request from a remoter terminal and processing the received service request.

Abstract: Logical scalable units (LSU) can be used within a single network data center to provide stateful scalability. However, LSUs are not suitable for operating across multiple network data centers in order to provide geographical redundancy in active-active scenarios while providing high availability. This is because the latencies associated with replicating full session information are unacceptably slow. An additional component in the LSU (known as an LSU Frontend) can be used to replicate a small subset of session information between LSUs. This subset of session information may be enough to enable LSUs to process requests in an acceptable way rather than outright failing. This may be particularly advantageous in scenarios where the requests relate to Voice over LTE calls, because outright failure is very perceivable to subscribers, and it causes resource leakage within the telecommunications network.
