Abstract: In a content delivery network (CDN a method includes: receiving a request for a CDN service of a particular type, wherein a CDN service of said particular type defines a fixed number of configurable layers of request processing, sequentially from a first layer to a last layer; and processing said request, starting at said first layer, said processing being based on a modifiable runtime environment, said processing continuing conditionally through each of said layers in turn until either said request is terminated by one of said layers or said last layer processes said request. A layer may cause some of the processing of a request to be handled by another service. The CDN service may be selected from: delivery services, collector services, reducer services, rendezvous services, configuration services, and control services.

Abstract: A device supporting content delivery is configured to run at least one content delivery (CD) service of a plurality of CD services. The plurality of CD services include adaptation services with feedback.

At least some of the invalidation commands in the list are selectively combined to form at least one other invalidation command in the list.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a service running on the hardware, invalidation information relating to one or more resources; and determining whether the invalidation information relates to any resources currently stored on the service. Based on the determining, when the invalidation information relates to at least one resource not currently cached on the service, maintaining on the service at least some of the invalidation information; and using the maintained invalidation information on the service to prevent subsequent use of a version of at least one resource not currently stored on the service.

Abstract: A method is operable in a network comprising multiple service endpoints running on a plurality of devices, A node in a group of the multiple service endpoints receives a request relating to a particular resource. The node determines what kind of responsibility it has for the request based on at least one kind responsibility assigned to the node for requests relating to the particular resource; and based on the determining, the node attempts to process the request in accordance with the type of the particular resource and the kind of responsibility the node has for the resource.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes, by a particular service: receiving at least one event stream of event data, the event data relating to operation of at least one type of service, each event of the at least one event stream comprising: (i) a timestamp for the event, (ii) information relating to the event; and producing state data relating to information represented in the event data while asynchronously responding to queries relating to the state data. The event data may be consumed in timestamp order.

Abstract: An open architecture platform bypasses data from the facilities of a telecommunications carrier, e.g. an incumbent local exchange carrier, by distinguishing between voice and data traffic, and handling voice and data traffic separately. An SS7 gateway receives and transmits SS7 signaling messages with the platform. When signaling for a call arrives, the SS7 gateway informs a control server on the platform. The control server manages the platform resources, including the SS7 gateway, tandem network access servers (NASs) and modem NASs. A tandem NAS receives the call over bearer channels. The control server determines whether the incoming call is voice traffic or data traffic, by the dialed number, and instructs the tandem NAS how to handle the call. Voiced traffic is transmitted to a switch for transmission from the platform. Data traffic is terminated at a modem NAS, where it is converted into a form suitable for a data network, such as a private data network or an Internet services provider (ISP).

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed that provide for an agile coherent optical modem that can generate agile RF waveforms and data rates on a generic opto-electronic hardware platform. An “agile coherent optical modem” [ACOM] approach to optical communications by employing a software configurable and adaptive technologies to the transport system. The ACOM generate agile RF waveforms and data rates on a generic opto-electronic hardware platform. By employing advanced communication techniques to the optical domain such as wavelength agility, waveform agility, and symbol rate agility, it is possible to enable robust optical communications. The ACOM allows for the transport capacity of a communications link to be varied, thereby accommodating variations in transport conditions, range, opacity, etc.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve a system and/or method of sales prospect and customer service optimization. The system and/or method may include a computing device which operates a plurality of computing modules. These modules include a prospect module for displaying a geographic map along with technical infrastructure information and prospect information, a present module displaying a plurality of content associated with rich content, by providing an interface allowing a user to drag and drop content into a presentation flow; and a quote module for quickly creating a quote for presentation to a customer.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve a system and/or method of creating a presentation. The system and/or method is configured to take basic user input about a customer and a subject and automatically generate a title slide and select appropriate assets for inclusion in a presentation in order to provide the user with an easy to use system for adding content to the presentation. The system automatically populates an asset board with presentation assets associated with the customer and the subject selected. A user may then select from the assets board, which presentation assets to include in the presentation and in which order.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve a system and/or method of displaying and reviewing prospective customers. The system and/or method may display a prospect map showing geographic areas, corresponding technical infrastructure, and prospects present in the areas.

Abstract: An asymmetrical and dynamic routing system (ADRS) is provided to enable the dynamic adjustment of the bandwidth capacity of two or more network devices exchanging data. The two or more network devices monitor their current bandwidth demand between themselves and others in a network and a first network device can transmit bandwidth request to a second network device when the first network device reaches transmission bandwidth capacity. Each network device is further configured with additional transmit and receive ports and can be selectively enabled in response to a bandwidth request from other network devices. Each network device is further configured to generate control signals that are sent to optical mirrors to re-direct data signals to or from the one or more enabled additional transmit and receive ports.
