Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing intent-based orchestration using network parsimony trees. In various embodiments, in response to receiving a request for network services that comprises desired characteristics and performance parameters for the requested network services without information regarding specific hardware, hardware type, location, or network, a computing system might generate a request-based parsimony tree based on the desired characteristics and performance parameters. The computing system might access, from a datastore, a plurality of network-based parsimony trees that are each generated based on measured network metrics, might compare the request-based parsimony tree with each of one or more network-based parsimony trees to determine a fitness score for each network-based parsimony tree, and might identify a best-fit network-based parsimony tree based on the fitness scores.

Abstract: The system obtains multiple unique identifiers associated with multiple UEs, where a unique identifier among the multiple unique identifiers identifies a UE among the multiple UEs. Based on the unique identifier, the system determines multiple technical capabilities associated with the multiple UEs. The system receives a request for one or more UEs, where the request includes a number of the one or more UEs and a desired technical capability associated with the one or more UEs, and where the request is specified at a level of abstraction that allows more than one UE among the multiple UEs to satisfy the request. Based on the request for the one or more UEs and the multiple technical capabilities associated with the multiple UEs, the system determines a subset of the multiple UEs satisfying the request, and sends a response to the request indicating the subset of the multiple UEs satisfying the request.

Abstract: An example computing device is configured to (i) establish a connection to a secure wireless network (ii) determine that one or more playback devices of a media playback system are not connected to the secure wireless network (iii) receive, via a graphical display, a user input indicating a request to update the one or more playback devices with network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network, (iv) retrieve, from storage, a list of the one or more playback devices, (v) receive an input indicating a first playback device to be updated from the list, (vi) establish an initial communication path with the first playback device, (vii) transmit a set of one or more messages to the first computing device collectively comprising the network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network, and (viii) receive an indication that the first computing device has established a connection to the secure wireless network.

Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques include an application executing at a client computing device obtaining, from a server computing device, a list of available data packs associated with the application. The client computing device determines a set of data packs stored thereat and, using the list of available data packs, determines that a modified version of a particular data pack is available. In response to a request from the client computing device, the server computing device provides information corresponding to the modified version of the particular data pack. Upon receipt of this information, the client computing device utilizes the modified version of the particular data pack within the application and without restarting the application.
