Abstract: Coordinating processing of audio queries is provided. A system receives a query. The system provides the query to a first digital assistant component and a second digital assistant component for processing. The system receives a first response to the query from the first digital assistant component, and a second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The first digital assistant component can be authorized to access a database the second digital assistant component is prohibited from accessing. The system determines, based on a ranking decision function, to select the second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The system provides, responsive to the selection, the second response from the second digital assistant to a computing device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for continuous in-line monitoring of data-centric traffic to guarantee application performance. The method includes, in each switch of a plurality of switches in a network fabric, grouping all packets entering each respective switch of the plurality of switches based on either 5-tuple applications or EPG based applications, collecting performance statistics at every hop in the network fabric across all flows in-line in a flow table maintained in each respective switch and periodically exporting the performance statistics to analysis module.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for minimizing the number of entries in network access control lists (ACLs). In some embodiments of the present technology a networking device can receive, from a first computing device, a first data transmission intended for a second computing device, the first data transmission including first transmission data. The networking device can normalize at least a subset of the first transmission data based on a predetermined normalization algorithm, yielding a first normalized data set for the first data transmission. Subsequently, the networking device can identify a first access control list entry from a set of access control list entries based on the first normalized data set, the first access control list entry identifying a first action, and implement the first action in relation to the first data transmission.
