Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods may include a network device for evaluating, developing, and benchmarking a precision time protocol network. Additionally, the disclosed systems and methods may be directed to utilizing direct server return for content delivery network traffic. The disclosed apparatus may include a grommet and a clip, where the grommet includes an opening shaped to hold at least one cable such as a medusa cable and a groove around an outer diameter of the grommet. The disclosed apparatuses, systems, and methods may include an apparatus for organizationally distributing cables to rackmount network devices. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A content delivery network (CDN) proxy (or, more generally, a server) that is content-aware is programmed to modify or augment a content object in such a manner that the content object, or elements thereof, is or are deliverable to a requesting client over a multi-stream, priority-enable connection. A representative application layer protocol that implements such delivery is SPDY. By virtue of its content-awareness, one or more elements of the content object may be delivered with prioritization so as to optimize “effective” page load time, namely, the time necessary for usable portions of the page to be loaded and rendered on the requesting client.
