Abstract: A method of retrieving a subset of polynucleotide molecules from a mixture of polynucleotide molecules includes receiving a mixture of nucleotide sequences comprising one or more polynucleotide molecules, synthesizing one or more identifier (ID) regions onto the one or more polynucleotide molecules, and sequencing members of the population of polynucleotide molecules to associate the sequence of one or more of the molecules (the “Polynucleotide Sequence”) with the sequence of the attached ID region (the “ID Sequence”). The method also includes generating a bead-bound library of one or more beads comprising subsets of identical polynucleotide molecules. Each bead is identified by the ID Sequence of the associated Polynucleotide Sequence.

Abstract: An intermediating network is adapted to intermediate between originating and servicing networks. A first set of communications addresses in the originating network that originates communications to the servicing network is identified. A second set of communications addresses in the servicing network that service the communications originating in the originating network is identified. An incompatibility between the first and second sets of communications addresses that would prevent a communication from the first set of communications addresses from reaching the second set of communications addresses is identified. The incompatibility includes a number of communications addresses in the first set of communications addresses exceeding a tolerance of the servicing network. The intermediating network is adapted so that a communication from the first set of communications addresses is sent to the servicing network via the intermediating network when the tolerance of the servicing network is exceeded.

Abstract: In a network service provider environment, a number of interconnection routing configuration templates provide a consistent approach for configuring associated interconnect network segments between enterprise network customer sites and cloud service providers. At least two types of configuration template are used to create at least two types of routing arrangement: a first template for creating an “unconstrained” routing arrangement having “any to any” connections; and a second template for creating a “partitioned” routing arrangement in which traffic between partitions must be operated on by a virtual network function. Additionally, the “partitioned” routing arrangement may use either a shared VPN or a segregated VPN facing the cloud service providers. The use of the interconnection routing configuration templates may be automated. The interconnection routing configuration templates can be applied in a recursive fashion to different parts of the end-to-end connectivity.

Abstract: An intermediating network is adapted to intermediate between an originating network and a servicing network. A first set of communications addresses in the originating network that can be used to originate communications to the servicing network are identified. A second set of communications addresses in the servicing network that can be used to service communications originating in the originating network are identified. The first set of communications addresses and the second set of communications addresses are analyzed. Based on the analyzing, incompatibilities between the first set of communications addresses and the second set of communications addresses that would prevent a communication from one of the first set of communications addresses from reaching the second set of communications addresses are determined.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing traffic management for distributed denial of service (DDOS) traffic. Within a communications network, a DDOS detection system monitors network traffic to identify traffic that is designed to attack a particular server within the network and their entry points into the network. A traffic routing control unit is requested to deny service to the DDOS traffic. By selectively manipulating the routing information propagated to network edge routers, the traffic that is denied service is limited to mostly DDOS traffic and is routed to a cleaning center or a null address in the most effective fashion.
