Abstract: A camera system comprises an image capturing device, object detection module, object tracking module, and match classifier. The object detection module receives image data and detects objects appearing in one or more of the images. The object tracking module temporally associates instances of detected objects, each of which has a signature representing features of the detected object. The match classifier matches object instances by analyzing data derived from the signatures. The match classifier determines whether the signatures match.

Abstract: Systems and methods for stretching a subnet that do not require level 2 (L2) communications to be handled are provided. A user may gradually migrate VMs or applications instead of migrating an entire subnet at one time, may fail-over specific VMs without failing-over an entire subnet or renumbering IP addresses, may deploy applications to the cloud without the need to create a VPN, or may enable hybrid network connectivity without modifying routes or (re)configuring edge routers, among other benefits. The domains over which the subnet are stretched include a virtual gateway which is associated with the layer-3 (L3) addresses of the other domains. L3 communications within the domain are routed within that domain, and L3 communications within the subnet in another domain are intercepted by the local gateway, are passed to the remote gateway of the other domain, and are forwarded to the destination while leveraging L3 communications.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments describe systems and methods for tunneling packets. A tunnel between a first intermediary device and a second intermediary device is established that encapsulates payload packets of transport layer connections between a client and a server. The first intermediary device identifies, from a first packet of a transport layer connection between the client and the server, packet header information. The first intermediary device populates a destination port and a source port of a header of a second packet to be transmitted via the tunnel. The destination port is populated with a predetermined destination port, and the source port includes a first hash of a tuple of the packet header information of the first packet. The second packet includes the first packet as a payload, and is load balanced across paths to the second intermediary device based on a second hash of the header of the second packet.
