Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for a non-intruding auto quoting feature on-the-fly for chat applications based on previous conversations and effectively forking/quoting such conversations to ease the burden of the user going through all the chat history. The techniques may involve monitoring an ongoing first text communication session between a first user and at least one second user; detecting one or more salient words or phrases in the first text communication session based on the monitoring; based on the one or more salient words or phrases, identifying a second text communication session that is topically related to the first text communication session; and displaying in a user interface presented to the first user a prompt to quote relevant content from the second text communication session into the first text communication session or to fork the first user to be a participant in the second text communication session.

Abstract: Techniques for connectivity issue remediation are provided. A first link trace message is transmitted from a source end point to a destination end point. A first topology graph for a network is generated based on the first link trace message, and a presence of a connectivity issue in the network is detected. A second link trace message is transmitted from the source end point to the destination end point. A second topology graph for the network is automatically generated based on second link trace message, and a component in the network that caused the connectivity issue is identified based on comparing the first and second topology graphs.

Abstract: Techniques for connectivity issue remediation are provided. A first link trace message is automatically transmitted from a source end point to a destination end point. A first topology graph is generated for a network based on the first link trace message. Presence of a loop is detected in the network. A second link trace message is then transmitted from the source end point to the destination end point, and a second topology graph is automatically generated for the network based on the second link trace message. An edge in the network that caused the loop is identified based on comparing the first and second topology graphs.
