Abstract: Devices and methods for underrun compensation are provided. By way of example, a technique for underrun compensation includes determining a particular one of a plurality of pixel configurations for a display. When an underrun condition is detected during processing of first image data via an image processing pipeline, at least a portion of requested image data for downstream processing has not yet been provided by an upstream processing component. Accordingly, upon detecting an underrun condition, underrun pixel data for the at least portion of the requested image data is generated, based upon the particular one of the plurality of pixel configurations.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to condense a large quantity of Virtual Network Function (VNF) chains (that each correspond to a network service) into a much smaller quantity of VNF records; and extract any of the large quantity of VNF chains from the smaller quantity of network service records. This may be accomplished by assigning a Number (No.) of Services attribute and a Tier attribute into each VNF record. The No. of Services attribute and Tier attribute may enable the VNF records to reference one another such that the larger quantity of VNF chains may, in effect, be entirely represented by the much smaller quantity of VNF records, thereby conserving storage space, streamlining VNF chain management, and reducing the processing and memory capacity required to search, configure, and deploy virtual network services.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronous and asynchronous monitoring of network resources is provided. In an example system, an asynchronous monitoring engine is in communication with the network resources and receives asynchronous data from a portion of the network resources. The asynchronous data is collected at an application layer or at an end-user application layer. A synchronous monitoring engine is also in communication with the network resources and accesses synchronous data in the application layer in response to receiving a request from the asynchronous monitoring engine. The system further identifies an anomaly corresponding to the asynchronous characteristic and the synchronous characteristic.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products relating to anchoring a wireless device to a wireless controller. A type of a network device is identified based on data included in a network message received at a first wireless local area network (LAN) controller (WLC). It is determined, based on the identified type, that the network device should be anchored to a pre-determined anchor WLC. An anchor request message is transmitted from the first WLC to the pre-determined anchor WLC. A network traffic tunnel is established between the network device and the pre-determined anchor WLC such that network traffic from the network device can be controlled by the pre-determined anchor WLC.
