Abstract: A method performed by a network device includes: receiving an input indicating a change in an auxiliary network from a first configuration to a second configuration, wherein the auxiliary network is configured to obtain copies of packets from a traffic production network; determining a first network policy, wherein the first network policy is for application in the auxiliary network when the auxiliary network is in the first configuration; and determining a second network policy by the network device based on the received input and the first network policy, wherein the second network policy is for application in the auxiliary network when the auxiliary network is in the second configuration.

Abstract: In a method for providing a content service to a recipient (20) in communications, a service center (14) receives information on a recipient identification and on service terminals (16) assigned, in a sender device (38), for the content. The service center (14) uploads the content to the assigned service terminals (16). The service terminal (16) receives information on a location of a transmitter device (34) of the recipient (20). The service terminal (16) compares the received location information with location information on the service terminal (16). Based on the comparing, if the service terminal is in a close proximity of the transmitter device (34) of the recipient (20) the service terminal (16) activates a first display content for inviting the service terminal (16) to display the uploaded content on a monitor of the service terminal (16). When the recipient acknowledges the first display content, the service terminal may take actions related to a second display content.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for performing location based load balancing of wireless access points and wireless switches is presented. A wireless controller (WC) receives an associate message from an Access Point (AP)/wireless switch (WS) at the WC. The WC then determines whether a preferred WC for the AP/WS is available. When the preferred WC is not available, then the WC determines if an alternate WC for the AP is available. When the alternate WC is not available, an administrator configured policy may be used that maps the AP to a specific WC. When the policy does exist then the AP is coupled to the WC according to the policy and when the policy does not exist then the WC parses the AP/WS location information for the AP/WS to determine an available geographically closest WC for the AP/WS and sends a message to the AP/WS relating to the available WC. The WC will also assign an available geographically closest WS to AP.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for interfacing between a command-line-interface (CLI)-based application program (CLI-AP) residing in a client network device, and remote network devices. The method includes predefining at least one CLI-based program routine (CLI-PR) comprising at least one CLI-based command wherein the CLI-PR is defined externally to the CLI-AP, determining by CLI-AP a set of data to be obtained from the remote network device; selecting by CLI-AP a predefined CLI-PR from the predefined CLI-PRs, the selected predefined CLI-PR corresponding to the remote network device and determined set of data to be obtained; instructing the client network device by CLI-AP to execute the selected predefined CLI-PR, wherein executing selected predefined PR will cause the selected predefined CLI-PR to obtain the determined set of data from remote network device and to configure the obtained data in a predetermined format; and querying configured data by CLI-AP to retrieve the determined set of data.

Abstract: A large size fire blanket folded in one pack is provided and delivered to the area of wild fire over the air by manned or unmanned aircrafts. Being deployed over the air to the wild fire area, the fire blanket attached to aircrafts is unfolding above the fire by stretching it out with aircrafts slowly moving apart until fire blanket is fully unfolded. After that the aircrafts starts simultaneous landing and covering with fire blanket the affected area. In result the fire blanket cuts off oxygen flow to the fire area and extinguish fire therefore. To prevent “hot air balloon” effect, the fire blanket has multiple perforations equally spread along the surface.
