Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for Content-Centric Networking (CCN) are described. In some cases, a node may receive a CCN packet from an upstream node and communicate the CCN packet to one or more downstream nodes (e.g., that previously requested the CCN packet). In a first case, the node may establish a persistent internet protocol (IP) tunnel with the downstream node and communicate the CCN packet to the downstream node by the persistent IP tunnel. Here, a cable modem between the node and the downstream node may not decode the CCN packet. In a second case, the node may append an identifier to the CCN packet prior to communicating the CCN packet to the one or more downstream nodes. Here, the identifier may indicate to the downstream nodes which CCN packets are relevant to the downstream node.

Abstract: Described is a system for intelligently distributing the retrieval of recovery data amongst peer-based and cloud-based storage sources. The system may leverage a peer network by performing a recovery from a combination of sources including peer devices and a cloud-based storage by considering a multitude of factors. For example, the system may consider retrieval information (e.g. availability, performance metrics, retrieval costs, etc.) associated with each of the potential sources in combination with target information (e.g. recovery objectives, file recovery priorities, etc.) to create an ordering preference (e.g. ranking) for sources from which to retrieve recovery data. The system may rank the sources by determining a specialized recovery score for each source thereby allowing the intelligent retrieval of recovery data.

Abstract: A recommendation engine may generate a recommendation in response to user interactions and executed operations in a system. The recommendation may be determined according to a number of factors including, but not limited to, an object affinity and a user affinity. The recommendation may include one or more of a recommendation to use an object and a recommendation for taking one or more actions. The recommendation may be provided to a user if the recommendation satisfies a confidence threshold. Recommendations provided by the recommendation engine are tracked to determine if the user accepted or rejected the recommendations. User history of accepting or rejecting recommendations may be utilized to train the recommendation engine for future recommendations and to build a user profile in a user database.

Abstract: Data requests can be serviced by smart network interface cards (NICs). For example, a smart NIC can receive a request for data at a hardware-implemented path of the smart network interface card (NIC). The smart NIC can determine, based on a mapping table accessible by the hardware-implemented path of the smart NIC, a first storage node includes the data. The smart NIC can transmit the request to the first storage node for determining a second storage node, rather than the first storage node, includes the data and transmitting at least a portion of the request to the second storage node.

Abstract: In various implementations, a computer-implemented method for remotely managing settings of applications includes receiving a network communication from a managed device, the received network communication including a client-side hash value. The method further includes identifying settings for an application on the managed device in response to the receiving of the network communication, where the identified settings include configuration instructions for the application. Based on a comparison between the received client-side hash value and a server-side hash value that corresponds to the identified settings, at least some of the identified settings are transmitted to the managed device. The transmitting of the at least some of the identified settings can be based on the comparison indicating a mismatch between the received client-side hash value and the server-side hash value.

Abstract: A collector (110) included in a data delivery control apparatus (100) collects data from a PLC (603, 604) and outputs the data to which collection time information indicating collection time is added. A validity determiner (140) determines whether the data is valid based on whether the collection time indicated by the collection time information added to the data is at or later than a starting time indicating a time at which a data sequence as a preset data processing sequence is started. A deliverer (130) delivers the data in accordance with a data sequence setting defining the data sequence in response to validity determination means determining that the data is valid.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods are disclosed to implement a virtual server using a multitenant serverless execution service (MTSES) and a request labeling endpoint outside the MTSES to identify the virtual server to worker nodes in the service. The MTSES is configured to host multiple virtual servers, and forward requests for the different virtual servers to dynamically selected worker nodes. However, in embodiments, the MTSES is not configured to determine the virtual server targeted by the requests. Accordingly, to allow the MTSES to support virtual servers that require knowledge of their identity, for example to authorize incoming requests, a request labeling endpoint is provided outside the MTSES to forward requests to the MTSES and automatically label individual requests with an endpoint identifier associated with their target virtual servers. In this manner, nodes in the MTSES can dynamically determine the virtual server that they are to assume for each request.
