Abstract: A power state framework executes a workload in supported computing device types and configurations during a sequence of power state transitions to simulate user experiences. Workloads can be combined, e.g., default workload plus add-on workload(s). Device states are monitored, collected, reported, and analyzed to identify faults, which are prioritized for repair, e.g., based on the projected impact of the faults on users, e.g., if the users were to experience the faults. Computing device states include states of attached peripheral devices and wireless or wired connectivity before and after power state transitions. Device state indicates device stability throughout supported device power state transitions. Devices under test can be on debuggers during execution of workload and power state transitions.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to classifying network streams and regulating behavior of the streams based on their respective classes. One technique for managing streams involves analyzing applications, obtaining indicia of features of the applications, and using those features to infer classes to which streams of the applications may be assigned. Another technique involves deploying beacon nodes at the edge of a network. The beacon nodes inform a stream manager about network conditions such as latencies with regard to network boundaries or regions. Another embodiment for facilitating management of streams involves a subscription service for UDP applications. A UDP application may subscribe to the service, which may be provided by an operating system hosting the application. Events are published to any subscribed UDP applications to inform the UDP applications of changes in networking conditions. The UDP applications, in turn, may adapt their internal transmission control logic.

Abstract: An operating system implements classes of network streams. Applications assign their network streams to the classes. The operating system, in turn, regulates the streams according to which classes the streams are in. As conditions change, network resources may be made available or more fully utilized by regulating streams according to which classes they have been assigned to. Network resources may be made available, perhaps rapidly or preemptively, for streams in higher priority classes by restricting streams in lower priority classes.
