Abstract: Systems and methods for capturing and distributing a live audio stream of a live event in real-time to a plurality of mobile computing devices are described. The system comprises at least one memory configured to store computer-executable instructions and processing device(s) coupled to the at least one memory and at least one audio input device configured to receive the live audio stream. Upon receipt of the live audio stream, the processing device(s) generate, in real-time, a plurality of discrete audio data packets from the live audio stream, and transmit that respective discrete audio data packet over a first network for receipt by the mobile computing devices. In respect of each one of the discrete audio data packets, a copy of the discrete audio data packet is transmitted for receipt by each one of the mobile computing devices prior to transmitting another one of the discrete audio data packets.

Abstract: An embodiment detects, by a packet detection module on a first worker node, a first synchronization message (SYN) issued from a client pod on the first worker node and directed to a first server pod on a second worker node and generates a first SYN record in a connection table stored on the first worker node. The embodiment detects, by the packet detection module, a second SYN issued from the client pod and directed to the first server pod and generates a server pod status record stored in memory on the first worker node indicative of the first server pod having an unhealthy status. The embodiment identifies an available server pod having a healthy status and generates a detour routing rule in a routing table on the first worker node indicative of a revised connection in which the identified available server pod replaces the first server pod.

Abstract: Techniques are described that enable users to configure the mirroring of network traffic sent to or received by computing resources associated with a virtual network of computing resources at a service provider network. The mirrored network traffic can be used for many different purposes including, for example, network traffic content inspection, forensic and threat analysis, network troubleshooting, data loss prevention, and the like. Users can configure such network traffic mirroring without the need to manually install and manage network capture agents or other such processes on each computing resource for which network traffic mirroring is desired. Users can cause mirrored network traffic to be stored at a storage service in the form of packet capture (or “pcap”) files, which can be used by any number of available out-of-band security and monitoring appliances including other user-specific monitoring tools and/or other services of the service provider network.
