  • Patent number: 11595871
    Abstract: A first network device may receive a notification over a network; in response to the notification, cause a virtualized operating system (OS) and a hypervisor of the first network device to obtain state units from one or more of first hardware components and virtual components; create a context state transfer package (CSTP) based on the state units; and forward the CSTP from the first network device to a second network device over the network. The second network device may receive the CSTP from the first network device; unpack the CSTP to obtain the state units; and put, at the second network device, second hardware components and virtual components of the second network device in a same state as the first hardware components and virtual components when the state units were obtained at the first network device.

  • Patent number: 11223869
    Abstract: A stream management platform may receive a request to provide, via a network, a content stream to an area, wherein the request indicates a requested latency associated with providing the content stream to the area. The stream management platform may determine an entry node of the network that is to receive the content stream from a content source. The stream management platform may identify a plurality of transmission nodes associated with the area. The stream management platform may determine respective latencies associated with multicasting the content stream from the entry node to the plurality of transmission nodes. The stream management platform may determine whether the respective latencies satisfy the requested latency. The stream management platform may perform, based on whether the respective latencies satisfy the requested latency, an action associated with the content stream according to the respective latencies.

  • Patent number: 11030013
    Abstract: An example described herein includes a device to receive, from a user device, a request message to split processing, of an application, between the user device and the server device; determine a processing capability of the server device; and determine whether the server device is capable of executing a process of the application based on the processing capability of the server device. When the server device is determined to be capable of executing the process of the application, the device may: send an acceptance message to the user device, wherein the acceptance message identifies a first set of processes of the application and includes instructions to permit the user device to execute the first set of processes; and execute a second set of processes of the application, wherein the user device executes the first set of processes of the application substantially simultaneously as the server device executes the second set of processes of the application.
