Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for reducing border gateway protocol (BGP) signaling for multi-homed devices. In one aspect, the method comprises: receiving one or more signals from one or more provider edge devices. The one or more signals include an address of a membership group associated with a multi-homed device. A router receives, from a provider edge device of the one or more provider edge devices, a service prefix. The service prefix is associated with the multi-homed device and the membership group. The router may store the service prefix and the one or more provider edge devices and connect, according to the service prefix and the one or more provider edge devices, to the multi-homed device associated with the membership group.

At least a subset of the location tags is positioned at a fixed position along the conveyor system, and at least one location tag is positioned at the at least one other asset. Each location tag includes at least one environmental sensor and a communication interface. The communication interface is configured to transmit a sensor signal to a network system and at least one information signal to a mobile receiver. The mobile receiver moves with respect to the conveyor system such that the distance between the mobile receiver and the subset of the location tags continuously changes, and a position of the mobile receiver is determined based on a signal strength of the information signal.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for implementing a cellular network readiness check between a mobile originator and a mobile terminator for connecting calls and messages. A network communicates push notifications to a device and receives indications of a readiness of that device to participate in a testing scenario. Additionally, within the testing scenario, push notifications are used to communicate expectations of a test communication session to a mobile terminating device and to determine if test outcomes matched expectations.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for analyzing log data are described. A processing unit ingests data blocks multiple data sources associated with a network-connected device. Each data block is associated with contextual meta tags identified from the ingested data. Further, one or more entities associated with the network-connected device are identified and for each entity a taxonomy is created. The taxonomy comprises a plurality of categories, each category comprising at least one contextual meta tag. Dashboards for presentation of processed log data are generated based at least in part on the taxonomy.

Abstract: A method for managing network attached storage (NAS) assets obtaining, by a backup manager, a backup request for backing up the NAS assets, in response to the backup request: determining a number of streams available to be performed in parallel by a set of backup agents, obtaining a set of slices associated with the NAS assets, performing a categorization on the set of slices based on metadata associated with the set of slices to obtain a set of batches, initiating a slice distribution of the set of slices to the set of backup agents based on the set of batches and the number of streams, and storing the set of slices in a backup storage system.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and a system for pre-backup anomalous object detection and exclusion rule creation. Enterprise information technology environments often include any number of assets maintaining vast quantities of data and state. Any asset, in turn, may be riddled with various anomalous objects that tend to cause backup failure. Embodiments described herein address backup failure due to the presence of anomalous objects by, during a pre-backup stage, examining any number of assets to identify any anomalous objects there-within. Once identified, the anomalous object(s) (or metadata descriptive thereof) may be recorded within a backup skip list and, subsequently, excluded from the current and/or any future backup(s). Exclusion of the anomalous object(s), from said backup(s), may be enforced through the automatic creation of one or many exclusion rule(s) that impact, and thus adjust, the backup policy/policies associated with the asset(s).

Abstract: Techniques for generating and utilizing overlay-based Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) packets to detect issues with an underlay network. The techniques may include receiving, from a BGP peer device via a control plane path, an OAM probe indicating a forwarding path to be used for sending the traffic to a destination associated with a prefix. The techniques may also include determining, based at least in part on the OAM probe, that a next-hop device is incapable of being utilized to forward the traffic to the destination, the next-hop device determined based on an origination of the prefix. The techniques may further include performing a policy-based action based at least in part on determining that the next-hop device is incapable of being utilized to forward the traffic to the destination.

Abstract: Machine learning models are used to generate a plan that responds to a user request. The plan includes one or more skills selected from a list of available skills. The prompt may be written in natural language, enabling the user to express their intent without having to know which skills are available or their intricacies. In some configurations, a skill is included in the plan if an embedding representation of an example prompt associated with the skill is within a defined distance of an embedding representation of the user request. Additionally, or alternatively, the embedding distance computations are used to narrow the list of available skills, which is then used to construct a meta-prompt that selects a skill. Skills listed in the meta-prompt may include data types of parameters and return values. This allows the model that processes the meta-prompt to order skills based on data type compatibility.

Abstract: In one aspect, a computerized method useful for connecting to a multipath hub in a cluster includes the step of, with a gateway in a same network as the cluster, receiving, from a branch edge, a request to connect to a logical identifier (ID) of the multipath hub. The gateway recognizes a logical ID representing a cluster. The gateway determines a least-loaded edge in the cluster to be the multipath hub. The gateway returns a connectivity information for the multipath hub. The branch edge configures a tunnel to the multipath hub.
