  • Publication number: 20170325083
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a message associated with a user at an information exchange system. At least one correspondent associated with the user may be determined, based on the message. A social connection between the user and the at least one correspondent may be assessed with respect to a social-networking system. The information exchange system may provide an interface for display to the user, the interface comprising information associated with the message. If the social connection is confirmed, the interface may include social-networking information associated with the at least one correspondent. Otherwise, the interface may provide functionality to create a social connection between the user and the at least one correspondent with respect to the social-networking system.

  • Patent number: 9525627
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for network encapsulation and routing. 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.

  • Publication number: 20160358212
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a social-networking system accesses a social graph, receives a request to generate an advertisement of a third-party application, identifies a set of objects associated with the third-party application, wherein each identified object has been interacted with by one or more first users of an online social network, one or more second users of the online social network, wherein each second user is connected on the online social network with at least one of the first users, and sends to one or more client devices of one or more of the second users, respectively, an advertisement of the third-party application, wherein for each second user the advertisement contains a reference to at least one of the identified objects that has been interacted with by at least one of the first users.
