Abstract: Methods and systems for restricting use of a set of wired headphones to use with a particular controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device may employ wired headphones having a near field communication (NFC) functionality storing a serial number, or the like, of a particular controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device. Controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media devices read information stored in the NFC functionality of a set of wired headphones being used with the device and determine if the NFC functionality of the set of wired headphones being used with the device has the serial number of the device stored in the NFC functionality.

Abstract: Techniques for media capture based on media specifications are described and are implementable to enable media content to be captured and/or obtained in compliance with particular media specifications. The described implementations, for example, utilize specified media specifications (e.g., media constraints) to be utilized as part of a media capture process. For instance, default media capture settings of a media capture device are modified to enable the media capture device to capture an instance of media content that complies with specific media specifications.

Abstract: An electronic device, computer program product, and method prioritizes communication between participants in a communication session. A controller configures the electronic device to identifying participants, each respectively using a second electronic device to participate in the communication session. The controller associates a priority rank for each of the participants. The controller monitors for an indication from each of the second electronic devices that a corresponding participant among the participants is attempting to speak to the other participants during the communication session. In response to receiving two or more indications, the controller compares the respective priority ranks of the participants corresponding to the two or more indications. The controller selects the audio stream received from the second electronic device of the particular participant having a highest priority. The controller presents the audio stream to the other participants.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a cache, a processing cluster having one or more processors, and prefetch throttling circuitry that determines a congestion level of the processing cluster based on an extent to which the data retrieval requests sent from the processors to the cache are not satisfied by the cache. Congestion criteria require that the congestion level of the cluster is above a cluster congestion threshold. In accordance with a determination that the congestion level of the cluster satisfies the congestion criteria, the prefetch throttling circuit causes one of the processors to limit prefetch requests to the cache to prefetch requests of at least a threshold quality. In accordance with a determination that the congestion level of the cluster does not satisfy the congestion criteria, the prefetch throttling circuit forgoes causing the processors to limit prefetch requests to the cache to prefetch requests of at least the threshold quality.

Abstract: The techniques described herein enable the establishment of two simultaneous virtual private network (VPN) connections between a VPN gateway and a VPN client. The system is configured to update a routing table advertised to network resources when a VPN server instance fails and/or is taken offline. When a first VPN server instance fails and/or is taken offline, the first VPN server instance releases a claim of ownership on its range of IP addresses. After this release occurs, the second VPN server instance is configured to claim ownership of the range of IP addresses that used to be owned by the first VPN server instance. This updated claim of ownership is captured in an updated routing table that can then be advertised to the network resources. Consequently, the network resources use this updated routing table to correctly determine which VPN server instance to send data intended for the VPN client.

Abstract: Agentless method to automatically detect low latency groups in containerized infrastructures includes obtaining information about communication across workloads within a cluster of containers implemented by an operating environment. The information identifies multiple pairs of containers. Each pair includes a network source container and a corresponding network destination container. The information includes, for each pair of containers, a corresponding latency associated with a network call between the network source container and the corresponding network destination container. An undirected graph is generated using the obtained information. The undirected graph represents a node-wide latency within the cluster. Using the undirected graph, nodes within the cluster with a latency less than a threshold latency level are grouped.

The one or more processors dynamically enhance an audio performance characteristic of the content presentation companion device as a function of the distance between the electronic device and the content presentation companion device.

Abstract: A network device may receive a packet and may determine whether a next header of the packet is an Internet protocol (IP) header, an Internet control message protocol (ICMP) header, or a segment routing header. The network device may determine, when the next header of the packet is the IP header, whether policy processing of the packet is set to ultimate segment decapsulation and may discard the packet when the policy processing of the packet is not set to ultimate segment decapsulation. The network device may decapsulate an outer header of the packet when the policy processing of the packet is set to ultimate segment decapsulation and may process the packet after decapsulating the outer header of the packet, to generate a processed packet. The network device may forward the processed packet toward a destination.
