Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory to store a set of instructions, and a processor. The processor receives a maximum transmission unit (MTU) packet from a second information handling system via a first portion of a communication path, and in response to the information handling system not being a final destination information handling system compares a current MTU size of the communication path with a next MTU size of the communication path. In response to the next MTU size being smaller than the initial MTU size, the processor replaces the current MTU size with the next MTU size as the current MTU size, otherwise maintains the current MTU size as the current MTU size. The processor also provides the MTU packet to a next information handling system via the next portion of the communication path.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and source base station may use data compression techniques for data packets sent between them. During a handover, the source base station may provide data compression context to a target base station, thus enabling the target base station to continue the data compression following the handover without having to reestablish the data compression context. The source base station may determine data compression capabilities of the UE or the target base station, or both, and may communicate the determined data compression capabilities to the UE or target base station. The source base station may identify at least one gap in a sequence of packets received from the UE, and communicate the existence of the gap to the target base station, which may request retransmission of packets associated with the gap.

Abstract: Systems for dynamically generating user interfaces. A method embodiment commences upon receiving one or more requests for a user interface view corresponding to a particular type of computing resource entity. A set of resource property templates are examined to identifying one or more resource properties that correspond to the particular type of computing resource entity. Processing is invoked to determine the then-current resource state(s) of the computing resource entity. Based on the then-current resource state(s) of the particular type of computing resource entity, user interface code is dynamically generated. The dynamically generated user interface code is used to render a user interface view on the requester's display. The rendered user interface view comprises one or more of the resource properties and at least one aspect of the dynamically-determined then-current resource state(s) that correspond to the one or more resource properties.

When the actual transmission time is greater than the timing tolerance plus the desired transmission time, the method further includes and setting the transmission change indicator to increase transmission speed. When the actual transmission time is less than the desired transmission time minus the timing tolerance, the method further includes setting the transmission change indicator to decrease transmission speed.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided, in a hierarchical feedback aggregation (HFA) system implemented in one or more data processing systems, for collecting and presenting user feedback information for a composite offering. A backend engine of the HFA system, implemented in a first data processing system, registers a hierarchical feedback model for the composite offering. A frontend engine of the HFA system, implemented in a second data processing system, receives user feedback for an identified component of the composite offering. The backend engine of the HFA system generates an aggregate user feedback score for the identified component based on a combination of the user feedback for the identified component and aggregate user feedback scores for child components of the identified component in the hierarchical feedback model. The backend engine outputs a representation of the generated aggregate user feedback score for the component to a user.
