Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to assisting forwarding of multicast traffic over Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) from a multicast source to a host multi-homed to multiple provider edge (PE) devices. Embodiments are based on the inclusion of an Ethernet Segment Identification (ESI) to EVPN type-6 routes advertised by PE devices which received a multicast Join message. Other PE devices receiving such routes are able to determine whether they belong to the ES identified by the ESI and to determine whether they are designated forwarders (DFs) for the host. Furthermore, PE devices which are the DFs are configured to re-originate the EVPN type-6 routes, i.e. re-send the advertisements, indicating themselves as DFs. This ensures that a remote PE device associated with the multicast source will also send multicast traffic to such DF PE devices, which, in turn, would allow the multicast traffic to successfully reach the host.

Abstract: A method for real time, geolocation based parking data analysis is described. The method includes providing a list of available parking spaces to a user device for a user to select and calculating the parking fee based at least on a duration that a vehicle stayed in a predetermined area that encompasses the selected parking space and the geographic position of the selected parking space.

Abstract: A method for authorization of multiple transactions using a single authentication process is described. The method includes determining that a user is an authorized user based on user credentials associated with the user; authorizing a transaction device identified by the authorized user for future electronic transactions with one or more restrictions; and providing previously stored payment card information associated with a user account of the authorized user for electronic transactions initiated at the authorized transaction device in accordance with the one or more restrictions.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to systems, methods, and network elements executing instructions stored thereon. Aspects are directed to, for each spine node connected to a leaf node network element, identifying a spine router identifier, identifying a multicast group address, computing a plurality of hash values based on a hash function using the spine router identifier and the multicast group address, identifying a root spine node based on a highest hash value from the plurality of hash values; and transmitting an IS-IS message to root spine node indicating election of spine node as the root spine node.

Abstract: A method and system for estimating individual propensity to use airport support services, comprising: receiving at least a first data element configured to store a specific primary account number and an addendum configured to store travel data; executing a query on a transaction database to identify a subset of transaction messages; identifying a projected level of needed airport support services propensity to use long-term parking based on at least the travel data; identifying an entity associated with needed airport support services associated with the travel transaction based on at least the travel data stored in the addendum included in the received transaction message; and transmitting the identified projected level of needed support services.

Abstract: A system for identifying an ideal airport security arrangement based on cost-effectiveness. The system storing a plurality of passenger wait times and receiving a personnel cost for each n for a transportation center. The system further receiving a plurality of transaction data entries and determining an average number of passengers of the transportation center based on at least the transaction data included in each received transaction data entry. The system identifying an average time-based value for passengers of the transportation center based on passenger income and calculating an operation cost for each n based on at least a combination of the respective personnel cost and passenger value as a product of the respective passenger wait time, average number of passengers, and average time-based value. The system determining an ideal number of security personnel based on the calculated operation cost for each n number of security personnel.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for a wireless communication device having multiple Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) in which a first SIM is associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) subscription that supports IMS services. The method includes but not limited to, determining that an IMS activity has completed at the IMS subscription, and determining whether a timer for a scheduled IMS signaling exceeds a time threshold. The timer indicates a time duration until performing the scheduled IMS signaling as scheduled. The method further includes, in response to determining that the timer does not exceed the time threshold, performing the scheduled IMS signaling and releasing a connection for the IMS subscription.

Abstract: The present application provides methods and devices for collecting customer feedback. The methods comprise the steps of determining whether a received input string used to authenticate a payment instrument against which a transaction is charged contains customer feedback data, and extracting the customer feedback data in response to determining presence of the customer feedback data.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable storage medium configured to process, analyze, and model of large amounts of data from a sample of accountholders that is representative of the overall consumer population across key geographic, demographic, and behavior dimensions in an in-memory modeling environment.
