Abstract: Presented herein are efficient techniques in which an application function (AF) session is established between a first policy control function (PCF) in a standalone non-public network (SNPN) domain and a second PCF in a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) domain, wherein a user equipment has a first session with the SNPN domain, the AF session is established for a second session of the user equipment with the PLMN domain, and the AF session is bound to the first session. The second PCF obtains an indication of a data flow initiated for the user equipment for the second session within the PLMN domain and determines flow information associated with the data flow. The second PCF transmits to the first PCF the flow information associated with the data flow for creating the data flow in the SNPN domain.

Abstract: Improved methods for retrieval of content from CDNs is provided that includes a rendezvous controller that receives information of an identification of content being requested and an estimated location of a content requesting device. Based on this information, the rendezvous system identifies a server within a CDN from which the requested content may be retrieved. The selected server may be based on a repeatable hash function such that the likelihood that the content being requested is cached at the selected server. Steering requests to a server of the CDN which may have the content cached may reduce the number of servers within the CDN with the same cached content, particularly for the highest requested content. The rendezvous system may then return a corresponding domain name associated with the selected server and that can be subsequently submitted to a DNS for resolution to the IP address of the identified server.

Abstract: A computer that selectively removes online content associated with an individual is described.

Abstract: Data processing method organizing and processing data in a distributed computing system. By organizing select/secret content with [enterprise and external designated] categorical filters (content, contextual and taxonomic) to create further search terms for data mining both enterprise and external data sources (databases, data collections, data stores). The result being aggregated select/secret content. The aggregated select/secret content is stored in the corresponding select/secret content data store. The aggregated select/secret content is further processed for convergent or divergent characteristics. By identifying unknown data elements, another search gathers supplemental documents. Data element ranges are set by taxonomic filter and said contextual filters. Relevancy factors are identified by relationship between input and supplemental documents. Search is controlled by user selection, continuous search, iterative search (n cycles), search within m search terms, and search time.
