  • DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM CNAME RECORD MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20190334855
    Abstract: A DNS name server manages CNAME records. The server receives a query for a first Address record for a fully qualified domain name from a requester. The server determines that the fully qualified domain name has a CNAME record, where the fully qualified domain name is a root domain. The server traverses a chain according to the CNAME record to locate a second Address record that includes an IP address. The server generates a response to the query that includes a third Address record for the fully qualified domain name that includes at least the IP address of the located second Address record. The server transmits the generated response to the requester.

  • ESTABLISHING AND USING A TUNNEL FROM AN ORIGIN SERVER IN A DISTRIBUTED EDGE COMPUTE AND ROUTING SERVICE
    Publication number: 20190319919
    Abstract: An edge server of a distributed edge compute and routing service receives a tunnel connection request from a tunnel client residing on an origin server, that requests a tunnel be established between the edge server and the tunnel client. The request identifies the hostname that is to be tunneled. An IP address is assigned for the tunnel. DNS record(s) are added or changed that associate the hostname with the assigned IP address. Routing rules are installed in the edge servers of the distributed edge compute and routing service to reach the edge server for the tunneled hostname. The edge server receives a request for a resource of the tunneled hostname from another edge server that received the request from a client, where the other edge server is not connected to the origin server. The request is transmitted from the edge server to the origin server over the tunnel.

  • Allocating Resources in Response to Estimated Completion Times for Requests
    Publication number: 20190310888
    Abstract: Methods, and systems for processing a request sent to a virtual assistant management system and for allocating resources, e.g., computing resources, in response to such requests. One of the methods includes: receiving a request; determining a category of the request; determining actions associated with completing the request; using a machine learning model to estimate an amount of time to complete the request based on the category and the actions associated with completing the request, wherein the machine learning model was trained using features characterizing a previous request that was completed by an agent and the time it took the agent to complete the previous request; and rating an agent's performance based in part on a comparison of an amount of time it takes an agent to complete the request and the estimated amount of time to complete the request generated by the machine learning model.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING NETWORK RESOURCE TRANSMISSION SIZE USING DELTA COMPRESSION
    Publication number: 20190306263
    Abstract: A method and computing device for delta compression techniques for reducing network resource transmission size are described. A first request for a network resource is received. The requested network resource is retrieved. A first response including the network resource is transmitted to the near end network optimizer. The retrieved network resource is stored as a first version of the network resource regardless of a directive that a cached version of the network resource is not to be used to respond to future HTTP requests for that network resource without successful revalidation with an origin server. A second request for the network resource is received. A most current version of the network resource is retrieved. A set of differences between the first version and the most current version of the network resource are determined. The set of differences are transmitted to the near end network optimizer.

  • Recommending content items in a social network using delayed interaction
    Patent number: 10430421
    Abstract: When a user sees a content item presented by a social networking system, the user may select an option to save the content item. When a user saves a content item, views saved content items, or otherwise indicates a present interest in a particular saved content item, the system recommends one or more additional items for the users to consume or save based on the seed saved content item. To find the additional content items, the system identifies other users who also saved the seed item and then finds other content items that these other users also saved at a rate that is disproportionately higher than the global save rates for the content items (which may be normalized by opportunities to save the content). Relevance for content items in other contexts may also be determined based on content items that have been saved by a user.

  • Dynamically Serving Digital Certificates Based on Secure Session Properties
    Publication number: 20190281032
    Abstract: A server receives a request from a client to establish a secure session. The server analyzes the request to determine a set of one or more properties of the request. The server selects, based at least in part on the determined set of properties, one of multiple certificates for a hostname of the server, where each of the certificates is signed using a different signature and hash algorithm pair. The server returns the selected certificate to the client.
