Abstract: Technologies are provided for identifying problems with network monitoring agents. For example, a network monitoring agent that is experiencing network packet loss can be examined to determine if it is degraded. For example, metrics can be obtained that are associated with the network monitoring agent. The obtained metrics can then be evaluated against thresholds. For example, if a high confidence metric is outside of a threshold for the high confidence metric, then a determination can be made that the network monitoring agent is degraded. As another example, if two low confidence metrics are outside of respective thresholds, then a determination can be made that the network monitoring agent is degraded. If a network monitoring agent is degraded, then its monitoring data can be discarded.

Abstract: A client facility is provided for establishing a subscription to a streaming service provider, without loss of events. The establishing includes generating, by the client, a subscription request to the streaming service provider of events. The generating includes determining, based on an event offset maintained by the client, identifying data of a most-recently received event from the streaming service provider for a topic of the subscription. The identifying data of the most-recently received event from the streaming service provider for the topic is used in customizing the subscription request with a topic configuration which requests the streaming service provider to resume streaming events from the most-recently received event identified in the event offset for the topic. Therefore, an interrupted streaming subscription may be reestablished without loss of events.

Abstract: A content delivery (CD) network delivers content on behalf of multiple content providers. A method includes determining that certain content is trending in a first geographic region during a first time period; and, based on the determining, causing the certain content to be prefetched by the CDN in a second geographic region by a given time after said first time period, wherein, during the first time period, the time in the second geographic region is earlier than the time in the first geographic region.

Abstract: Application layer throughput (ALT) shaping is provided for a streaming media session is provided. A request for a content segment is received. The receipt time of the request is recorded and the request is forwarded to a content server. A response message is received from the server. The receipt time of the response and a segment size is determined. An ALT for the current segment is determined based on the receipt times of the request and response messages and the segment size. The ALT rate is compared to a target ALT rate required for a desired session PBR. When the ALT rate is higher than the target ALT rate, the content response is held for a time period determined to lower the current ALT rate to the target ALT rate, and then released to the client device. Otherwise, the content response is promptly provided to the client device.

Abstract: A method samples a stream of data items. Each data item has an associated timestamp. The method assigns a priority value to each data item. Each data item is represented as a point on a two-dimensional graph whose axes are time and priority. A sliding window covers a predetermined length of time tspan and uses a backward probability decay curve to specify what priority values are included in the sliding window. This defines, for a current time tc, a current data sample consisting of data items whose timestamps t fall within the time span tc?tspan?t?tc and have priority values below the decay curve. The data sample is stored in a buffer. The process iteratively moves the sliding window forward by a time increment, creating a provisional data sample. When the size of the provisional data sample is too large or too small, the process scales the decay curve.

Abstract: An apparatus and mechanism to subscribe to a single address and or session management service from multiple devices (such as e.g. tablets, smart phones, netbooks or other types of communication terminals or client devices) with a single account and password through the automatic assignment of a dynamic opaque service profile to each device a user uses to sign in to the service. After sign-in transparent call management services are provided to the user and allow the user to control sessions on any signed-in device from any signed-in device without revealing the distinct dynamic opaque service profiles to the user.
