  • ACCOUNTING FOR USER INTERACTION WITH CONTENT ASSOCIATED WITH CONTENT ITEMS PRESENTED BY AN ONLINE SYSTEM WHEN SELECTING CONTENT ITEMS FOR PRESENTATION BY THE ONLINE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20180341974
    Abstract: An online system accounts for measures of quality of content items when selecting content items for presentation to users. For a content item including a link to a landing page outside a domain of the online system, the measure of quality accounts for a likelihood of a user presented with the content item returning to the online system after less than a threshold amount of time accessing the landing page. The measure of quality of the content item is based on the likelihood of the user returning to the online system after less than the threshold amount of time relative to likelihoods of other users returning to the online system after less than the threshold amount of time. The measure of quality of the content item is affected by a difference between the likelihood determined for the user and the likelihoods determined for other users.

  • Hybrid networking path selection and load balancing
    Patent number: 9065749
    Abstract: System and method for selecting a transmission medium on which to transmit a first stream. At least one of the plurality of transmission media may be substantially dynamic in nature. Path characteristics of each of a plurality of transmission media may be determined. A first transmission medium may be selected from the plurality of transmission media for the first stream based on the determined path characteristics. A first plurality of packets of the first stream may be transmitted on the first transmission medium.

  • System, device, and method for improving communication network reliability using trunk splitting
    Patent number: 7173934
    Abstract: A multilink trunk from a client device in a communication network is split between two aggregation devices such that each aggregation device is connected to at least one link of the multilink trunk. The aggregation devices work in conjunction to appear to the client device as a single device connected to the client device over the multilink trunk. The aggregation devices transmit identical bridge protocol data units to the client device over their respective links of the multilink trunk. The aggregation devices exchange operational information and data packets over inter-device communication ports. A failure of the split multilink trunk at one aggregation device is restored through the other aggregation device.
