Abstract: According to an example, an application initiating a communication session may be identified via a mapping of the application information with a pattern of interest included in a DNS server response corresponding to the application. Information regarding the communication session may be obtained and a determination may be made as to whether the communication session includes media data. If the communication session includes media data, control of the application and the communication session may be enabled via an interface.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, techniques and products for operating network devices, such as wireless access points, in a network environment. For example, wireless client devices may have resources reserved for their use by a network device if the wireless client device is categorized for such resource reservation, such as if the wireless client device is categorized as more important than other wireless client devices. Such categorization may be indicated by a context associated with the wireless client device, including belonging to or being associated with an important user or being used for an important purpose, such as emergency purposes, prescheduled purposes or involving multiple users. Reservation of wireless resources for wireless client devices may be performed to ensure an important user or device is provided with adequate resources to place a voice or video call, for example.

Abstract: Examples relate to managing network traffic. In one example, a computing device may: receive voice network traffic from each of a plurality of voice clients; enqueue the received voice network traffic into a voice Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) queue; determine a measure of WMM queue utilization based on data queued in the voice WMM queue; determine a measure of radio congestion for a surrounding area; and determine, based on the measure of WMM queue utilization and the measure of radio congestion, to: stop prioritization of newly received voice traffic from new voice clients, or transition at least one of the plurality of voice clients to a neighboring computing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a system and method for determining deterioration in call quality between one or more wireless end-users based on codec characteristics. Specifically, a network device determines a codec associated with a call between two client devices. Then, the network device determines a transmission rate based on the codec. Moreover, the network device estimates a number of packets to be received by an access point that a first client device is associated with based on the transmission rate, and compares the estimated number of packets to an actual number of packets received by the access point. If a difference between the estimated number and the actual number of packets exceeds a threshold, the network device diagnoses that a poor call quality associated with the call is due to either the first client device or network connectivity between the first client device and the access point.

Abstract: Various techniques and systems are provided for executing call admission control in a cluster deployment including the sharing of call and capacity information between controllers in a cluster to make call capacity decisions for an access point.
