Abstract: A resource identifier to be encoded dynamically upon detection of a triggering event is identified. The resource identifier is allowed to remain not encoded prior to detection of the triggering event. The triggering event that will cause the resource identifier to be consumed by a web browser is detected. In response to detecting the triggering event, the resource identifier is encoded, and an encoded version of the resource identifier is provided for consumption by the web browser.

The method further includes transmitting the cached information matched to a new connection request to the web browser or the web server, when the web browser running on the first OS or a web browser running on a second OS different from the first OS makes the new connection request for connecting to the web server.

Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method for achieving cloud streaming medium file sharing based on DLNA are disclosed. The method includes when a DLNA sharing request is received from a user by a mobile terminal in the process of playing a cloud streaming medium file, acquiring from the cloud and caching a content clip of the streaming medium file by the mobile terminal according to the DLNA sharing request; searching for DLNA apparatuses in an LAN where the mobile terminal is located according to a DLNA protocol; and transmitting the cached content clip of the streaming medium file to one of the DLNA apparatuses that is chosen by the user from the searching result, and controlling the DLNA apparatus to play the content clip of the streaming medium file. The present disclosure allows to share the cloud streaming medium file with the DLNA apparatus via the mobile terminal.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes determining an allocation of nodes in a cluster to application containers using a node capacity and a policy, publishing the allocation to a coordinator, the coordinator configured to manage the nodes comprising a first node, reading the allocation from the coordinator and instructing a container manager in the first node to generate an application container in the first node conforming to the allocation.

Abstract: Providing media content in a broadcast scenario to a streaming player. In order to compensate a problem of variable segment sizes, which leads to the variation in the reception intervals of the media segments, it is proposed to estimate the segment availability time. In some embodiments, the estimation considers a correction value compensating the variation in a reception intervals of media segments so that the streaming player receives the media segments at a constant time interval.

Abstract: A first peer device receives distinct first and second metadata. The first metadata includes a common identifier having a one-to-one relationship with a common data piece of a data entity. The common data piece is common to the first peer device, a second peer device, and a third peer device. The second metadata includes one or more non-common identifiers. Each of the one or more non-common identifiers has a one-to-one relationship with a non-common data piece of the data entity that is common to a group of peer devices including the first peer device and excluding the third peer device. The first peer device also receives a third identifier from the second peer device. The first peer device determines whether the second peer device is in the group of peer devices based on whether the third identifier is included in the one or more non-common identifiers.

Abstract: The present application relates to a method and apparatus of predicting network performance, wherein the method includes: obtaining M performance parameter data of a link; calculating a cloud model digital feature of network performance of the link according to the M performance parameter data; calculating N predicted performance parameter data of the network performance of the link according to the cloud model digital feature; and raising a prediction alarm that the link has a risk of exceeding a limit if there is data exceeding a preset upper limit value in the N predicted performance parameter data, wherein M and N are preset positive integers. A change trend of network performance is analyzed according to real-time monitored data of the network performance of the link to predict future performance parameter data, and whether an alarm is raised and protection switching is performed is determined based on the prediction.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering media content from a first media device to a second media device is provided. The apparatus includes a server configured to receive media content from a first media device and to receive a first plurality of user experience settings used at the first media device to playback the media content. The server is further configured to store operating capabilities from a second media device. The server is further configured to adjust at least a portion of the operating capabilities in response to the first plurality of user experience settings to generate translated user experience settings and to transmit the media content and the translated user experience settings to the second media device to enable the second media device being to playback the media content substantially similar to the first media device playing back the media content.

Abstract: Application dependency mapping can be automated in a network. The network can capture traffic data for flows passing through the network using a sensor network that provides multiple perspectives for the traffic. The network can analyze the traffic data to identify endpoints of the network. The network can also identify particular network configurations from the traffic data, such as a load balancing schema or a subnetting schema. The network can partition the endpoints based on the network configuration(s) and perform similarity measurements of endpoints in each partition to determine clusters of each partition. The clusters can make up nodes of an application dependency map, and relationships between and among the clusters can make up edges of the application dependency map.

Abstract: The present application provides a method for upgrading a virtualized network function and a network function virtualization orchestrator NFVO. The NFVO includes: a receiver, configured to receive an upgrade request message, the upgrade request message is configured to request the NFVO to upgrade a first software version corresponding to a first VNF to a second software version, the first software version corresponds to a first VNF instance, and the second software version corresponds to a second VNF instance; and a processor, configured to: instantiate the first VNF to obtain the second VNF instance; configure forwarding paths of service flows in an NS, so that a first service flow is forwarded to the first VNF instance and that a second service flow is forwarded to the second VNF instance; and terminate the first VNF instance if it is determined that the first VNF instance runs without loads within a preset time.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for data transfer are presented herein. Specifically, embodiments of such a data transfer methodology may utilize one or more transmission channels for the transmission of the data to be transferred. In addition, a control channel in a different protocol than the transmission channels may be utilized to transmit control information between the sender and recipient. The rate at which data is sent on the transmission channels may be adjusted or the transmission of data on the transmission channel prioritized.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for reducing unwanted messages or spam within a real-time social networking service. According to certain aspects, a synchronous analysis module may operate in coordination with an asynchronous analysis module. Each of the synchronous analysis module and the asynchronous analysis module analyzes an incoming message from a user account to determine whether the incoming message has characteristics of spam, whereby the synchronous analysis is at a lower latency than the asynchronous analysis. The asynchronous analysis is afforded the ability to identify certain spam characteristics that the synchronous analysis may identify during its lower latency analysis.

Abstract: Responding to a request for network content is disclosed. The request for network content is received. A determination of whether delivery of the content can be improved by a prioritized content delivery system is determined. The determination is determined using application level data associated with the request. The request for network content is routed to the prioritized content delivery system or a normal content delivery system based at least in part on the determination.
