Abstract: Techniques for Bayesian-based event grouping are provided. One technique includes determining a group of alarm events from received alarm events; in response to the group of alarm events matching a group of historical alarm events, determining a first correlation, wherein the group of historical alarm events comprises correlated events associated with a same entity; and determining a root cause of the group of alarm events based on the first correlation.

Abstract: Methods and devices for providing routing path and transit delay time data to a device running traceroute on an IP network comprising routing tunnels are described herein. In examples, a tunnel entrance device may copy a hop limit value associated with a traceroute probe into a hop limit field of a tunneled IP header. In other examples, the tunnel entrance device may perform address spoofing to generate an error message with a source address corresponding to an intermediate device disposed within a routing tunnel. In this way, a device executing traceroute may be able to receive network addresses corresponding to intermediate devices in a routing tunnel in order to perform network diagnostics, construct routing tables, determine more efficient routing paths, and so on.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a simultaneous, multi-device user experience that employs computing devices with varying capabilities for data input and/or data output, using a microservice-based architecture. A user may register multiple devices with a service, which determines capabilities of the devices for data input and/or output. During a communication session involving the user and another user, such as a service representative, the service may receive input data collected through device(s) and/or provide output data to be presented on the same or other device(s), where such data input and data output is received and provided according to the input/output capabilities of the various devices. The data input and/or output may switch from device to device during a session. In some instances, data may be replicated for presentation through multiple devices simultaneously. Interactions with each device may be through a microservice that is associated with the device and/or its device type.

Abstract: A client system maintains a source list comprising an ordered sequence of a plurality of content delivery servers. The ordered sequence indicates a sequence of the plurality of content delivery servers for the client system to send a request to obtain a mirror list. Each of the plurality of content delivery servers maintains a cluster membership list identifying the content delivery servers in a cluster, wherein the source list is configured in view of a cluster membership list. The client system determines that a first content delivery server in the ordered sequence of the source list is unavailable. A mirror list request is sent to a next content delivery server listed on the source list.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for obtaining data about a network having at least a first node and a second node.

Abstract: This document describes marker based approaches for a CDN to monitor and report on the amount of traffic that it is serving on behalf of content providers. They are particularly useful in hybrid delivery scenarios. Hybrid delivery scenarios means that a client may obtain content, such as a given multimedia stream, from one or more servers in the CDN, or from one or more peers in a peer to peer network. The amount of data served from the peer network is referred to herein as the “offload”, as delivery of that data has been offloaded from the CDN platform.

Abstract: A digital collaboration system includes a collaboration application running on client devices and a group device that communicates with a backend content management system (CMS) to provide a collaboration environment. In an initial stage, the collaboration application displays content provided by the CMS for review and generation of user feedback. The CMS utilizes the user feedback to filter the content for a subsequent stage of evaluation of the filtered content. The filtered content may be displayed on a collaboration board generated in a graphic user interface on the group device. Additional feedback on the filtered content is captured through the collaboration board and stored in the CMS for subsequent analysis and reporting.
