The present disclosure relates to the field of network communication technologies. The DNS server configuration loading method includes: dividing at least two NS partitions according to network carriers and/or regions; based on an IP address of an DNS server, obtaining an NS partition on which the DNS server has a traffic; from local records or database, filtering out domain name configuration information belonging to the NS partition corresponding to the DNS server; and loading the filtered-out domain name configuration information into a memory of the DNS server. The present disclosure significantly reduces the amount of DNS configuration; increases the efficiency for the DNS server to load the domain name configuration information; reduces the loading time; and reduces the memory resource consumption of the DNS server.
Abstract: An interference cancelation receiver can cancel channel state information reference signal interference using a single fast fourier transform (FFT), thereby reducing the complexity of the receiver. The transmitter can multiplex CSI-RS with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of another numerology, thereby improving a resource utilization. Thus, significant gains in link and system throughputs can be achieved via the use of the interference cancelation receiver.
Abstract: The disclosure is directed to maintaining an asynchronous communication via an intermediary. An agent executed on a device intermediary to clients and providers can receive a request from a client for an asynchronous communication between the client device and a provider device.

Abstract: Mobile devices provide a variety of techniques for presenting messages from sources to a user. However, when the message pertains to the presence of the user at a location, the available communications techniques may exhibit deficiencies, e.g., reliance on the memory of the source and/or user of the existence and content of a message between its initiation and the user's visit to the location, or reliance on the communication accessibility of the user, the device, and/or the source during the user's location visit. Presented herein are techniques for enabling a mobile device, at a first time, to receive a request to present an audio message during the presence of the user at a location; and, at a second time, detecting the presence of the user at the location, and presenting the audio message to the user, optionally without awaiting a request from the user to present the message.

Abstract: A system and method to automate data acquisition in a wireless telemetry network optimizes data acquisition to best match a target data set that the user desires given the performance limitations of the telemetry network. The user defines the target data set by providing inputs regarding a target quality of the target data set relative to a data set that has been produced and stored by a communication node in the network. The performance limitations of the network are defined in a system operating envelope. A data acquisition cycle is then automatically initiated and propagated in the network to acquire an actual data set that is an optimal match for the user's target given the system operating envelope.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to a scalable solution for end-to-end performance delay measurement for Segment Routing Policies on both SR-MPLS and SRv6 data planes. The scalability of the solution stems from the use of distributed PM sessions along SR Policy ECMP paths. This is achieved by dividing the SR policy into smaller sections comprised of SPT trees or sub-paths, each of which is associated with a Root-Node. Downstream SID List TLVs may be used in Probe query messages for signaling SPT information to the Root-Nodes Alternatively, this SPT signaling may be accomplished by using a centralized controller. Root-Nodes are responsible for dynamically creating PM sessions and measuring delay metrics for their associated SPT tree section. The root-nodes then send the delay metrics for their local section to an ingress PE node or to a centralized controller using delay metric TLV field of the response message.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method and an apparatus of maintaining continuity of an on-going session over a wireless interface and a wired interface. The method includes identifying, by a media agnostic universal serial bus (MA-USB) layer, the on-going session between a USB host and a USB device over the wireless interface, detecting, by an application service platform (ASP) layer, an event corresponding to an interruption of the on-going session in the wireless interface, and concurrently continuing, by the ASP layer, the on-going session over a wired interface between the USB host and the USB device in response to the detected event. Wherein session continuity parameters are exchanged between the USB host and the USB device during one of an initial connection over the wireless interface and while initiating connection over the wired interface.
