  • Publication number: 20240171546
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to managing Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) for virtual private network (VPN) concentrators. A method may include: identifying, by an edge gateway backend system, a first IPsec tunnel, a second IPsec tunnel, and a third IPsec tunnel between a VPN client and a VPN concentrator of the edge gateway backend system; determining, by the edge gateway backend system, that the first IPsec tunnel is a highest priority tunnel between the VPN client and the VPN concentrator; determining, by the edge gateway backend system, that the highest priority tunnel between the VPN client and the VPN concentrator is active; and deactivating, by the edge gateway backend system, fully qualified domain names of the second IPsec tunnel and the third IPsec tunnel from the VPN concentrator based on the determination that the highest priority tunnel between the VPN client and the VPN concentrator is active.

  • Publication number: 20200201613
    Abstract: A method, system, and platform for implementing an Enterprise DevOps Framework to achieve defined business goals. One or more servers is configured to implement a landing zone, a plurality of pipelines, a plurality of services, a plurality of inspectors, and a plurality of injectors. A selected service from the plurality of services is delivered to the landing zone via one or more of the plurality of pipelines, wherein the selected service is then deployed within the landing zone. The plurality of inspectors is deployed in the landing zone to monitor components of the selected service, as the selected service is delivered through the one or more pipelines and deployed within the landing zone. The plurality of injectors is deployed in the landing zone to insert environment specific information into the selected service, as the selected service is delivered through the one or more pipelines.

  • Patent number: 10601838
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing digital rights management (“DRM”)-agnostic entitlement gateway and verification system. In various embodiments, an entitlement gateway might receive a query from a client device, and might determine whether a user is authorized to access requested DRM-protected media content. If not, the entitlement gateway might send a deny signal to the client device that prevents the user from accessing the media content. If so, the entitlement gateway might identify, from among a plurality of DRM types, a DRM type that is used to protect the media content. The entitlement gateway might identify, from among a plurality of DRM servers each associated with a particular DRM type, a DRM server associated with the identified DRM type, and might send a request for a license for accessing the media content from the identified DRM server, the license enabling the user to access the media content.

  • Publication number: 20180332328
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing conflict resolution for electronic program guides. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive a plurality of metadata each from a metadata source among a plurality of metadata sources, each of the metadata corresponding to a video content, might compile the plurality of metadata, might determine whether at least one metadata of the plurality of metadata is inconsistent with other metadata of the plurality of metadata. Based on a determination that at least one metadata is inconsistent with other metadata, the computing system might analyze the plurality of metadata to determine which set of metadata more accurately corresponds to the video content, might modify one or more metadata based on such determination, might generate an EPG that presents the video content, using metadata consistent with the modified one or more metadata, and might display the EPG on a display device.

  • Publication number: 20180332356
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a unified multi-source video programming & navigation guide. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive first metadata, receive second metadata, and compile the first metadata and the second metadata. The first metadata might correspond to first video content available from a first video content source among a plurality of video content sources, while the second metadata might correspond to second video content available from a second video content source among the plurality of video content sources. The computing system might also generate a unified multi-source video programming and navigation guide (“UPG”) that lists in a blended fashion the first video content and the second video content, based at least in part on the first metadata and the second metadata. The computing system might display the UPG on a display screen of a display device.
