Abstract: A simulation view network streamer is disclosed. A first request is received to generate a first network view stream from a first view that exists in a simulation of a virtual environment. The first view is defined by first view data that identifies a first portion of the virtual environment encompassed by the first view. The first request includes a first destination address of a first output device. A second request is received to generate a second network view stream from a second view that exists in the simulation of the virtual environment concurrently with the first view, the second request including a second destination address of a second output device. A stream of images of the first view is sent to the first output device, and a stream of images of the second view is sent to the second output device.

Abstract: A stream tool is disclosed that allows a user to seamlessly connect with the different data streams, regardless of the streams' transmission platforms or communication protocols, in order to visually see a representation of the type of data that the data streams are transmitting. A user may specify a particular data stream and provide corresponding connection details. A collection of abstracted software functions enable interaction with the different stream platforms and protocols. Using these abstracted functions, a stream-processing service accesses a requested data stream and samples its data events for either sample timeframe or up to a threshold number of data events. The sampled data events are parsed and visually presented to the user in an easy-to-understand format. The user may then inspect the data stream's data for use in developing robust applications that may integrate and use such data.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for an automatic device discovery. A registration request is transmitted to register a media device with a server, the registration request comprising a device identifier associated with the media device. A discovery request is caused to be issued to allow client devices previously registered with the server and connected to the first network to discover the media device, wherein the discovery request is to cause at least a subset of the client devices previously registered with the server and connected to the first network to initiate discovery of the media device without requesting permission from a user of a respective client device to initiate the discovery of the media device, wherein the at least the subset of the client devices includes two or more client devices each associated with an auto-connect status.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for passively characterizing a type of host or computing device which may be engaged in a transaction between the host and another computing device. Observation data corresponding to one or more sessions of network traffic between an unclassified host and a second system may be passively generated by a device characterization server. The observation data can be processed by the device characterization server using a machine-learning classifier. The machine-learning classifier can be trained with a set of training data that includes multiple sessions of network traffic from multiple training data hosts. Each session of network traffic includes an exchange of multiple packets in various embodiments, including packets sent from, and packets received by, the training data hosts. Based on the processing, the unclassified host may be characterized by the device characterization server as one of a physical computing device, a virtual machine, or a container.

Abstract: Examples can include an optimizer that dynamically determines where to place virtual network functions for a slice in a distributed Telco cloud network. The optimizer can determine a slice path that complies with a service level agreement and balances network load. The virtual network functions of the slice can be provisioned at clouds identified by the optimal slice path. In one example, performance metrics are normalized, and tenant-selected weights can be applied. This can allow the optimizer to prioritize particular SLA attributes in choosing an optimal slice path.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to supply prompts from a communication platform to a first machine via a network to register a first user with the communication platform. Prompts are supplied from the communication platform to the first machine via the network to the first user to specify a second user and public network communication constraints. A network address to a single-user, non-transferrable communication client that enforces the public network communication constraints is created. Prompts from the communication platform via the network are supplied to a second machine associated with the second user, allowing the second user to send a second user message through the single-user, non-transferrable communication client. The second user message is sent to the first user via a selected public network allowed by the single-user, non-transferrable communication client.

Abstract: A method for discovering a cross-domain link between ports in a network implements different compensation algorithms based on differences in the intervals used to obtain traffic flow information at the ports. A first compensation algorithm discovers the cross-domain link when the intervals have different sizes. A second compensation algorithm discovers the cross-domain link when the intervals are misaligned. The algorithms may be implemented by a cross-domain coordinator which recites count information from network devices that include the ports.

Abstract: Techniques for utilizing a metric tracking agent to track how resources are used to process a payload across different network boundaries are disclosed herein. A process that is to be performed on a payload within a boundary is identified. A metric tracking agent is also identified, where this metric tracking agent defines a scope of the process and is associated with a metric counter used to determine a metric value for the process. While the process is being performed in accordance with the defined scope, the metric value is calculated so as to reflect the resource usage expended by the network boundary and is logged by a log associated with the metric tracking agent. The metric tracking agent, which includes the metric value, is then provided to either a subsequent system boundary or to a metric store.

Abstract: A system is described for fault-tolerant delivery of virtualized applications. A client on a client device requests access to a virtualized application. The application is launched in a server-based virtual machine and computer vision is used to determine whether the application launched successfully based on the UI produced by the application. If it is determined that the application failed to launch successfully, an alternative mechanism is used to deliver access to the application using an application storage volume (ASV), which is a mountable container containing the application. In one approach, the ASV is mounted directly to the client device. In another approach, a second virtual machine is launched and the ASV is mounted on the second virtual machine.
