Abstract: This application is directed to an electronic device that operates as both a sound component for a doorbell and a component of a security system. For instance, the electronic device may receive a signal from the doorbell. The electronic device may then output a sound associated with the doorbell. Additionally, the electronic device may receive data from one or more sensors associated with the security system. Based on the data, the electronic device may perform one or more functions. For instance, if the electronic device sets a specific mode of the security system, the electronic device may output a sound representing an alarm of the security system. Additionally, the electronic device may send data to another electronic device, such as a server or a client device, that indicates that the one or more sensors detected an event.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for increasing persistent connection scalability. For instance, a server may establish persistent connections with sources. The server may then determine, based on the types of persistent connections, an amount of at least one resource in use. For example, the server may determine that a first type of connection, such as an idle connection, uses a first amount of the resource(s) and a second type of connection, such as an active connection, uses a second amount of the resource(s). The server may then determine if the amount of the at least one resource in use satisfies one or more thresholds. If the amount of the at least one resource in use satisfies the one or more thresholds, the server may perform one or more actions. For example, the server may cease establishing new persistent connections, migrate the first type of connections, and/or migrate the second type of connections.

Abstract: Examples can include an optimizer that dynamically determines where to place virtual network functions for a slice in a distributed Telco cloud network. The optimizer can determine a slice path that complies with a service level agreement and balances network load. The virtual network functions of the slice can be provisioned at clouds identified by the optimal slice path. In one example, performance metrics are normalized, and tenant-selected weights can be applied. This can allow the optimizer to prioritize particular SLA attributes in choosing an optimal slice path.
