Abstract: User equipments can download a video file by instantiating multiple video requests, each request specifying different parts of the video file. If each video request initiates a separate transmission control protocol (TCP) session, which is the case with an hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) partial get request, then a network device in a communications network would be oblivious of contextual information, which indicates that the TCP sessions download different portions of the same video file. This disclosure provides systems and methods for correlating multiple TCP sessions so that a network device in a communications network can be aware of the contextual information.

Abstract: A method for wireless communications is provided.

Abstract: Traffic streams through mesh points in a mesh network are managed. Data arriving at the mesh point are aggregated in packet queues. The packet queues segregate arriving data by the data's Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. An appropriate communication channel is selected. The communication channel is accessed through a contention access schema. An M-Request-To-Send (MRTS) message is sent to potential receiving mesh points with receiving mesh points responding with an M-Clear-to-Send (MCTS) message. Data from the packet queues is transmitted to the next mesh point. A mesh point power save mode allows battery operated mesh points to sleep preserving power.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for configuring wireless local area network gateways to provide visitors with network access, are provided. A nearby client device of a user is provided a first level of access through the wireless local area network gateway to access a cloud-based service provider in a remote network. A determination is made whether a source Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a request for authentication received from the nearby client device is matched to a public IP address of the wireless local area network gateway. If a match is determined, a configuration setting associated with the nearby client device of the user is received from the cloud-based service provider and the wireless local area network is reconfigured to provide a second level of access to the nearby client device of the user. Corresponding system and computer readable mediums are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of computer networks, and disclose a data packet transmission method and a related device and system. In the method, a traditional communication protocol (such as TCP) handshake process is optimized, so that data packet transmission may be implemented in the handshake process. The data packet transmission does not depend on completion of the handshake, thereby effectively reducing a data packet transmission delay caused by an RTT delay existing in the handshake process.

There may be one or more additional BACnet devices, each having a protocol, being connectable to a network, and having a broadcast distribution table. The first BACnet device may provide and update the broadcast distribution table of each additional BACnet device with information from the broadcast distribution table of the first BACnet device via the network.

The method includes measuring a minimum latency value of a communication between two devices in the communication network for each of a plurality of time cycles, identifying an increase in the minimum latency values among the plurality of time cycles, and detecting a topology change in response to a determination that the increase in minimum latency values is maintained for more than a predetermined number of time cycles.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses a system and method for sharing multiple network resources on a stand-alone machine.

Abstract: An in-browser proxy enables an application in a frame to make a cross domain request. The proxy executes within the browser, which has a first domain. The browser provides a frame in which a client application executes, which has a second domain. The request from the client application is a request for data access to the external domain. The proxy identifies a registration of the client application, and forwards the request to the external domain. The proxy receives a response to the request and provides the response back to the client application within the frame.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to associating a segment of an electronic message with one or more segment addressees. One or more message addressees of an electronic message may be identified, the one or more message addressees identifying at least one recipient of the electronic message. A segment of the electronic message may be identified via one or more processors. One or more segment addressees may be determined from the at least one recipient, the one or more segment addressees identifying an addressee for the identified segment. One or more aspects of the segment may be associated with the one or more segment addressees. An indication pertaining to the one or more aspects of the segment may be provided to the one or more segment addressees.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for dynamically controlling a tracing of messages. A header (referred to herein as the “trace header”) is placed in a message by a sending application, where the trace header includes a structure for storing fields of data for defining tracing operations. Once the message with the trace header is received by a message broker after being sent by the sending application, the message broker will analyze the fields of the trace header and perform the appropriate tracing operation in response to the information provided in the trace header. Through the use of the trace header, the tracing overhead can be minimized as well as a faster diagnosis of the problem (e.g., errors while processing the messages through a message flow of the message broker) can be provided since less data will be needed to be analyzed.

Abstract: A method for sharing notes created in a multilayered document among users of a social network within a digital education platform is provided. In one embodiment, the digital education platform allows a user to create notes linked to a particular location in the document using a notepad application. Notes are aggregated and stored in the user's personal library on the digital education platform. When a user requests to share another user's notes and is granted access, the digital education platform retrieves the other user's notes and inserts the shared notes into the requesting user's existing notes associated with the document, based on their individual sharing attributes and metadata.
