Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a phased release of a core application programming interface (API) are described. In one embodiment, a method includes performing a phased release to remote client devices to upgrade instances of a first core API to a second core API. The example method may also include deploying a facade API into instances of the first core API in response to determining that an API implementation relies upon functionality of the second core API. The facade API is a dummy interface for interacting with the API implementation in place of the functionality of the second core API. The example method may also include performing phased upgrades to upgrade subsets of the remote client devices in phases from the first core API to the second core API, where functionality of the second core API replaces the facade API.

The method includes the following acts: identifying the PDP node from a message received by the PEP node; allocating to the PEP node at least one IP address that is distinct from a link-local address, the at least one IP address being obtained from a set of addresses known to the PDP node; and obtaining a list of at least one available IP address for allocation to at least one other node directly connected to the PEP node in the network and not possessing an IP address, referred to as a “undiscovered” node, which list, referred to as a list of delegated addresses, is transmitted by the PDP node and is obtained from the set of addresses.

Abstract: Network route control plane data, advertised by one or more routers on a network, is received from a passive discovery module. The passive discovery module is configured to communicate with the routers using one or more routing protocols, but not to advertise route data. The received network route control plane data is compared to network element data stored in a network element database. If the received network route control plane data is not contained in the network element database, the received network route control plane data is stored in the network element database. If the received network route control plane data is contained in the network element data database, the received network route control plane data is compared to target asset data stored in a target asset database. If the received network route control plane data is not contained in the target asset database, the received network route control plane data is stored in the target asset database.

Abstract: In a server (10), all column data items are extracted from a master data storage unit (11) and sent to a client (20) in addition to target data corresponding to a data acquisition request that has been sent from the client (20), and in the client (20), the target data and data items received from the server (10) are displayed on a screen in a user-interface selectable mode, thereby making it possible to download from the server (10) to the client (20) the minimum target data required when attempting to perform a desired process on the client (20), and doing away with the waste associated with downloading all the data. In addition, by also downloading and displaying in a selectable manner on a screen data items pertaining to data other than the target data, a user can be shown, in an operable-like manner, data items pertaining to actual data without downloading the actual data.
