Abstract: For a host that executes one or more guest virtual machines (GVMs), some embodiments provide a novel encryption method for encrypting the data messages sent by the GVMs. The method initially receives a data message to send for a GVM executing on the host. The method then determines whether it should encrypt the data message based on a set of one or more encryption rules. When the process determines that it should encrypt the received data message, it encrypts the data message and forwards the encrypted data message to its destination; otherwise, the method just forwards the received data message unencrypted to its destination. In some embodiments, the host encrypts differently the data messages for different GVMs that execute on the host.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining candidates for handover of wireless devices in a wireless network. A first access node in communication with one or more wireless devices may receive signal information for second access nodes from the wireless devices. A communication link between the first access node and each second access node may be used to transmit second access node network characteristics to the first access node. The first access node may store information about second access nodes in a neighbor relation table. If a removal condition is satisfied, one or more second access nodes may be removed from the first access node neighbor relation table and may be blacklisted. Blacklisted second access nodes may be monitored for improvements in signal information or network characteristics. Improved second access nodes may be removed from the blacklist based on a comparison with threshold values for signal information and network characteristics.

Abstract: A redirection device for remote streaming media reroutes media content sent to the receiving device, typically located in the home of the subscriber, to the subscriber's mobile device such as a laptop or smartphone. Remote media streaming provides media recipients with capabilities for out-of-home (OOH) viewing for remotely rendering media content from a subscriber based receiving device to a personal electronic device. The remote streaming redirects media that has already been received by the subscription based receiving device, such that the redirection device forwards a rendering signal including the requested content to the rendering device based on the reported location. The redirected media stream therefore emanates from the redirection device as an independent transmission of content already received by the receiving device, and not as a separate transmission of media content from the content provider.
