Abstract: Various examples for performing rule processing for device management data evaluation are described. According to some examples, one or more computing devices can receive new device data from a client device indicative of a current configuration of the client device and identify a change of a device configuration value from a past device configuration value by comparing the new device data to historic device data. The computing devices can send the new device data to a rule evaluation service to identify one or more rules associated with the device configuration value a rule action service to perform an action specified in the rules. The rule action service can determine the action to perform based on the device configuration value.

Abstract: A system and a method for computing infrastructural damages is disclosed. In particular, the present invention provides for identifying one or more potential areas to be impacted during a predicted calamity and classifying the one or more potential areas based on severity of impact in said areas. Further, a first group of datasets associated with one or more potential areas are generated.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for providing a layer 2 (L2) bump-in-the-wire service at a gateway device (e.g., a layer 3 (L3) gateway device) at the edge of a logical network. The method, in some embodiments, establishes a connection from a first interface of the gateway device to a service node that provides the L2 service. The method also establishes a connection from a second interface of the gateway device to the L2 service node. The method then sends data messages received by the gateway device that require the L2 service to the service node using the first interface. Some embodiments provide a method for applying different policies at the service node for different tenants of a datacenter. Data messages received for a particular tenant that require the L2 service are encapsulated or marked as belonging to the tenant before being sent to the service node. Based on the encapsulation or marking, the service node provides the service according to policies defined for the tenant.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for monitoring error correction data are provided. The method comprises receiving an authorization request defining a media session between an AF server and a mobile device from the AF server. The authorization request contains a media packet flow identifier and a corresponding forward error correction (FEC) packet flow identifier. The method includes deploying policy rules for the media session to a gateway server, the policy rules including the media packet flow identifier and the FEC packet flow identifier; receiving periodic reports from the gateway server, the reports including packet counts for each of the media packet flow and the FEC packet flow; determining whether bandwidth consumed by the FEC packet flow exceeds a predetermined threshold; and when the determination is affirmative, sending an action request to the AF server.

Abstract: Disclosed are communications devices which can send indications that they are secure, and which can detect when a far end device is not secure (unsecure). A secure device is one that is not connected to a speakerphone or other speaker which is capable of emitting—or actually is emitting—sound which is louder than a certain threshold. If a communication device detects that a remote endpoint is unsecure, the communication device will switch to an unsecure mode. When the switch is made, the communications device alerts the user that the call is not secure so that the user can proceed accordingly.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to network deployment of devices. For example, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource can determine a plurality of deployment thresholds of a plurality of devices, wherein the plurality of deployment thresholds are associated with a type of the plurality of devices. The instructions can cause the processing resource to monitor deployment data associated with the plurality of devices to identify a device with a deployment outlier. The device with the deployment outlier is a device with deployment data that is outside a deployment threshold of the device. The instructions can cause the processing resource to adjust the deployment threshold of the device based on the monitoring.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided by which a second address of user equipment, which is served on a first address in a first network in a first address realm, to be used by the user equipment for a service in a second address realm is detected, the second address is stored together with the first address, and a network policy control element controlling policy in connection with the service in the second address realm is informed about the second address is. In this way, also a single stack user equipment may access services in different address realms.

Abstract: Trigger based analytics database synchronization is described. In one example case, a trigger is invoked based on an operation issued for a record in a transactional database. According to the trigger, one or more data values for synchronization from the transactional database to an analytics database are determined. A message including the data values is formed and added to a message queue through a message infrastructure service including a message broker. In turn, the values from the message are stored in a suitable memory space, such as a staging table, for forwarding to an analytics computing system. Using the trigger and the message infrastructure service, execution of the transactional database operation can be detached in execution from the addition of the value to the staging table and synchronization with the analytics computing system.

Abstract: Event based analytics database synchronization is described. In one example, an event tracking engine can sequence through batches of records in a transactional database that is being synchronized to an analytics database. The event tracking engine can determine a last version attribute associated with the batch, and query the transactional database to identift any records for the batch having a more recent version attribute than the last version attribute. When any records in the transactional database having a more recent version attribute are identified, the event tracking engine finds the data values in the record are different than those in the analytics database. The data values can be normalized, for example, before being forwarded to an analytics system for incorporation into the a analytics database. Over time, changes in the transactional database are identified and populated or mirrored in the analytics database.

Abstract: A policy server and a charging server authorize and authenticate data traffic bypassing a mobile network. The policy server stores subscriber records, each containing one a mobile subscriber identifier corresponding to a communication device. The policy server receives a control session request from a gateway server in a fixed broadband network, including a broadband subscriber identifier and a first network address. Responsive to receiving the request, the policy server creates and stores a control session record including the broadband subscriber identifier and the first network address. The policy server receives an access session request from an application server in a multimedia network, including a mobile subscriber identifier and a second network address. The policy server determines whether the first network address matches the second network address; and when the determination is affirmative, updates the control session record to insert the mobile subscriber identifier.
