Abstract: An example system for routing session requests between existing application code and new application code can: receive a request for an application; access a synthetic session identifier associated with the request; when the synthetic session identifier is associated with the existing application code, route the request to the existing application code; and when the synthetic session identifier is associated with the new application code, route the request to the new application code.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rollback of model-based provisioned network device configuration including a memory capable of storing a model-based provisioned data template that includes a data template sequence. Data associated with a request to transmit a target object request message are received and transmitted following a retrieval message that determines pre-configuration data of the target device. The pre-configuration data is stored and the target object request message is sent specifying CRUD semantics. A notification is received indicating an outcome of the execution and, if the execution outcome is unsuccessful, a rollback stack is retrieved that specifies CRUD semantics and the pre-configuration parameters are retrieved to restore the target device to a pre-request state. If the execution outcome is successful, a second target object request message is retrieved from a list of target devices.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to conversion to an Internet Protocol stream. An example method includes capturing, at a device driver level of a virtual machine, a component for which to provide remote access. The example method further includes converting the component to an Internet protocol stream and providing, independently of an operating system of the VM, the remote access to a display device using the IP stream.

Abstract: Virtual machines provide users with an ability to work with applications or whole desktops on remote system through a remote session or sessions. However, when a remote system hibernates/shuts down the remote session disconnects and subsequently the remote system may log off (close) the session in order to free system resources for other active sessions for other users. Accordingly, the session state is lost and when the user reconnects to the remote system a new session is created, and new instances of applications started in it. It would be beneficial to provide users with the features of the client device upon the remote system such that the remote system captures a current session state of a user's virtual session allowing it to be stored and then allows for subsequent restoration of the session upon the same remote system or another remote system which can access the stored virtual session state.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to video encoding for low-concurrency video channels are described herein. A video processing system may receive a manifest request for an encoded video stream associated with a selected channel. Based on the manifest request, the video processing system may request for a real-time linear (RTL) encoder to be started to encode the input compressed video stream for the channel in real-time. Also based on the manifest request, the video processing system may assign a faster-than-real-time (FTRT) encoder from a pool of already-running FTRT encoders to encode the video stream in real-time until the RTL encoder is fully started. The FTRT encoder may encode at a lower quality level to enable expedited real-time encoding. Based on the RTL encoder being fully started, the video processing system may switch the encoding from the FTRT encoder to the RTL encoder. The FTRT encoder may be returned to the FTRT encoder pool.

Abstract: An online software platform (OSP) classifies challenges to digital rules into buckets according to respective challenged digital rules that were applied to produce respective challenged resources. The OSP computes respective statistics for the buckets. Each bucket may have a corresponding statistic associated with the bucket based on a current total number of challenges that have been classified into that bucket. The OSP ranks the buckets according to the respective statistics of the buckets. The OSP may correct, based on the ranking of the buckets, the respective challenged stored digital rule of the selected bucket without yet correcting the respective challenged digital rule of at least one of the other buckets. This correction is stored and included in digital rules to be used to produce resources going forward.
