Abstract:
A whittling proxy system can receive a target web page that includes a plurality of Javascript functions and a plurality of objects needed to load the target web page. The system can determine a target Javascript function of the plurality of Javascript functions to be tested for a whittling capability. The system can generate a full version and a partial version of the target web page. The full version includes all of the plurality of Javascript functions. The partial version includes the plurality of Javascript functions excluding the target Javascript function. The system can conduct a test to determine a first page signature associated with the full version and a second page signature associated with the partial version. The system can determine if the first page signature matches the second page signature, and if so, can determine that the target Javascript function can be whittled.
Abstract:
A more efficient network can be achieved by using a cost-benefit analysis determined by mobile device, wireless network, and server device functionality. The cost-benefit analysis can be used to determine whether SPTCP or MPTCP or any combination of the two is used. The mobile device can generate the cost-benefit analysis based on known and unknown device and network metrics and send the cost-benefit analysis to the server device. The server device can then comply with the cost-benefit analysis and then send requested web site data via SPTCP and/or MPTCP in accordance with the cost-benefit analysis.
Abstract:
A system for designing and executing control loops in a cloud environment includes a control platform implemented in the cloud environment having a data collection, analytics and events module, a policy module and an application controller module. The system includes a business process management application coupled to the control platform having a control loop designer module for designing a control loop template and a workflow engine for distributing the control loop template. The business process management application is coupled to the data collection analytics and events module of the control platform as well as the policy module in the application controller module to control platform. The control loop is activated by the control platform.
Abstract:
A multimedia conferencing service uses accessible-forwarding-plane network elements such as OpenFlow® controllers and OpenFlow®-enabled switches. A conferencing server receives a conference subscription request including a network address of a L2/L3 signaling server, and connects to an accessible-forwarding-plane controller to control an accessible-forwarding-plane switch. Flow tables and group tables are managed to classify traffic with minimum table usage and update frequency. Media channels are established between clients through the OpenFlow®-enabled switches, relieving bottlenecks at the conferencing server.
Abstract:
A method includes forecasting demand for media content items of a media distribution system based on historical demand information to generate forecasted demand. The method includes generating a mixed integer program model based on storage constraints of a plurality of distribution nodes of the media distribution system, bandwidth constraints of the media distribution system, and the forecasted demand. The method includes performing a Lagrangian relaxation operation using the mixed integer program model. The method includes determining values of a cost function based on a result of the Lagrangian relaxation operation. The method includes assigning each of the media content items to a corresponding distribution node of the plurality of distribution nodes based on the cost function and the forecasted demand.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a virtual network element that includes a plurality of virtual machine modules configured to process a plurality of control packets in a virtualized telecommunication network. A classifier module is configured to receive telecommunications traffic that includes the plurality of control packets and a plurality of data packets, to separate the plurality of control plane data from the at least one data packet, and to forward the plurality of control packets to selected ones of the plurality of virtual machine modules. A forwarding device, coupled to the classifier module and separate from the plurality of virtual machine modules, is configured to forward the plurality of data packets in the virtualized telecommunication network. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A content monitor includes a processor that at least receives requests from a plurality of clients for content, instructs each client to retry their respective request at a first later time if the request is received before a first time, counts the requests to determine if a number of the requests exceeds a threshold if the request is received before a second time, instructs each client to retry their respective request at a second later time if the counted number of requests does not exceed a first threshold, instructs each client to join a multicast group to receive the content when the number of requests exceeds the first threshold, and counts a number of late clients joining the multicast group after a first portion of the content has been sent to the multicast group.
Abstract:
A provider edge (“PE”) router system and a PE router system controller for hybrid virtualization of PE router functions is disclosed herein. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a PE router system operating at a PE of a network includes an elastic computing system and a plurality of switches. The elastic computing system can include a plurality of hardware resources and a plurality of virtual machines. Each virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines can utilize at least a portion of the plurality of hardware resources to perform operations. The plurality of virtual machines can include a port virtual machine that provides an interface to a customer edge (“CE”) router operating at a CE of the network. The port virtual machine can provide a first set of operations. The plurality of switches can provide a second set of operations.
Abstract:
Mobile device data transfer via a wireless network is disclosed. A data manager component (DMC) on a carrier-side of an air interface can receive a request for data from a device located on a client-side of the air interface. The DMC can collect data related to the data request. Data can be collected by the DMC from remotely located servers. The collected data can be parsed to facilitate determining additional data that can be collected based on the request for data. The collected data and additional data can be bundled and returned via the air interface to the device on the client-side. Bundling the collected data and additional data can be in accord with an IND scheme, an ONLD scheme, a PARCEL(X) scheme, etc. This can improve load times associate with the requested data and can also reduce power consumption associated with the data transfer over the air interface.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a first level distribution node of a plurality of first level distribution nodes of a hierarchical media distribution system (HMDS), a request for a content item (associated with segments corresponding to a time order) from a first endpoint device. The method includes, in response to receiving the request, sending, from the first level distribution node, a first data stream corresponding to a first segment of the content item to the first endpoint device and sending first information (indicating the request and a first end time of the first data stream) to a second level distribution node of a plurality of second level distribution nodes of the HMDS. The method includes receiving, from the second level distribution node, a second data stream corresponding to a second segment before the first end time has been reached and sending the second data stream to the first endpoint device.
