Abstract: A device may receive a packet, determine whether the received packet is encapsulated with a first header associated with a cached routing service, and determine whether the received packet is to be provided with the cached routing service when the received packet is not encapsulated with the first header associated with the cached routing service. In response to determining that the received packet is to be provided with the cached routing service, the device may encapsulate the received packet with a second header associated with the cached routing service, send the encapsulated packet toward a destination of the packet, and store the encapsulated packet in a buffer in a memory.

Abstract: A content server farm in a host network may be configured to receive a message indicating that content is to be downloaded to a content consumer device in the host network different from a partner network. A first copy of the content is stored at an originating content provider device in the partner network. A path for downloading the first copy of the content from the originating content provider device in the partner network to the content consumer device in the host network includes peering points that connect the host network to the partner network.

Abstract: A method, performed by a computer device, may include receiving content from a first local government entity; associating a virtual channel identifier with the received content; and transmitting the received content and the virtual channel identifier on a shared local government channel, wherein the shared local government channel includes content received from a second local government entity.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and storage media provide for receiving a request to invoke a machine-to-machine communication to permit remote control of a device, wherein the request includes a device string that identifies the device and one or more secret strings; generating one or more hashed strings based on the request and a current time; and transmitting a remote control request to the device, wherein the remote control request includes the one or more hashed strings and the one or more secret strings.

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating an operator may include a server configured to receive a request to access an enclosure, wherein the request may include at least one enclosure identification and at least one operator identification. At least one ticket associated with the enclosure identification may be identified. The server may determine whether the at least one ticket is associated with the at least one operator identification and transmit instructions to the enclosure in response to determining whether the at least one ticket is associate with the at least one operator identification.
