Abstract: Systems and methods of network traffic engineering are provided. The system includes a switch and a controller. The controller can maintain a monitoring segment identifier set defining a path for traffic intended for a destination device. The controller can maintain a forwarding segment identifier set representing a compressed version of the monitoring segment identifier set such that traffic, when labeled according to the forwarding segment identifier set, will follow the path defined by the monitoring segment identifier set. The controller can monitor a status of the path defined by the monitoring segment identifier set. The controller can, subject to determining that the path defined by the monitoring segment identifier set is invalid, cause the switch to not label a packet received at the switch according to the forwarding segment identifier set.

In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from source network and at an edge device a first network packet including a first inner header including i) a first source address, and ii) a first destination address; selecting a source network identifier for the source network from a plurality of routable network identifiers; encapsulating the first network packet within a first encapsulation packet; routing the first encapsulation packet to the destination server; receiving, from the destination server, a second encapsulation packet; extracting the second network packet from the second encapsulation packet; and routing the second network packet to the source network.

Abstract: Described herein are methods, systems and programs for managing the sharing of video, audio and data communications between users over the internet in the most efficient manner. The video, audio and data communications secured by means of advanced encryption standard (AES) like in the form of 128-bit or other encryption standard and efficiently communicated across a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) protocol.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for sharing assets of applications between users. A user may share an application or certain features within an application via the transfer of application rights between users. The providing user may be restricted from accessing that application or the application features transferred until the borrowing user has either relinquished the rights to the application or until a certain amount of time has passed.

Abstract: A method includes identifying a data volume allocation associated with a user account from a shared data volume allocation, identifying previous data consumption corresponding to the data volume allocation by the user account, and identifying a current data usage rate associated with the user account. The method also includes identifying a data usage threshold associated with the user account. A projected data usage is determined based on the current data usage rate and the previous data consumption. The method includes determining whether the projected data usage exceeds the data usage threshold, and, if the projected data usage exceeds the data usage threshold, sending a notification indicating that the data usage is projected to exceed the data usage threshold to at least one account associated with the shared data plan. The method further includes performing an action to limit data consumption below the data usage threshold.

Abstract: A method and apparatus suitable for producing an artificial snow surface for tire evaluation is provided. The process provides for manufacturing a series of snow layers, each layer followed by a packing and a grooming step to provide a multi-layered snow surface. Desirable shear strength properties of the snow surface are enhanced by a surface grooming technique that applies a layer of water to the upper snow surface followed by grooming of the surface. The manufactured snow surface allows the testing and evaluation of tires that compares favorably to tire evaluation data obtained from outdoor testing facilities.
