Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for anticipating a video switch to accommodate a new speaker in a video conference comprising a real time video stream captured by a camera local to a first videoconference endpoint is analyzed according to at least one speaker anticipation model. The speaker anticipation model predicts that a new speaker is about to speak. Video of the anticipated new speaker is sent to the conferencing server in response to a request for the video on the anticipated new speaker from the conferencing server. Video of the anticipated new speaker is distributed to at least a second videoconference endpoint.

Abstract:
In one implementation, data is communicated along a communications route in a network. A mediatrace request is generated for the communications route. Responses to the mediatrace request are received from along the communications route. The hop-by-hop latency is passively measured, from the responses, with one-way delay along the communications route in the network.
Abstract:
Resource provider specifications, characterizing computing resources of computing resource providers, are received. The reachability of each IP address included in the received specification is determined. An agent is deployed that is operable to determine the value of each of a set of metrics in the environment of the host at which the agent is deployed. The agent determines the value of each metric of the set of metrics in the environment of the relevant host, and communicates the determined values to one or more computing devices that validate whether the resources characterized by the communicated values are sufficient to provide the performance characterized by the received specification and that each ISP router complies with a predetermined policy. For each computing resource provider validated and determined to comprise an ISP router compliant with policy, the specified computing resources are added to a pool of resources for cloud computing.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a monitoring service deploys a monitoring agent to a client device. The monitoring service receives certificate information for a certificate intercepted by the monitoring agent during an online transaction. The monitoring service determines, based on the certificate information, an expiration time for the certificate intercepted by the monitoring agent. The monitoring service provides an expiration notification for display, in advance of the expiration time for the certificate.
Abstract:
A crowd-sourced cloud environment allows for, and benefits from, modes of interaction between among the service providers (including the “resource providers” and the “cloud provider”) and consumers (also referred to herein as “tenants”) that are not practiced in a DC-centric cloud environment—specifically, the use of Internet-based social networking technology and Internet-based online marketplace technology to facilitate resource pooling and interaction between crowd-sourced cloud resource providers, the cloud provider, and crowd-sourced cloud consumers.

Abstract:
A client receives map objects that define respective physical objects of a floor plan of a building, including a floor plan outer boundary, one or more rooms, and connected pathways traversable by a person. The client renders, in scalable vector graphic form, the map objects into a map of the floor plan that depicts the respective physical objects, including the one or more rooms, the connected pathways, and the outer boundary. The client displays the map. The client receives an update message that defines a change to the floor plan with respect to a map object identified in the update message, and renders the change with respect to the identified map object into the map to depict the change on the map without rendering any other ones of the map objects that were previously rendered into the map. The client displays the map with the change depicted on the map.
Abstract:
An example method for zero touch deployment of multi-tenant services in a home network environment is provided and includes receiving router configuration information of a home router located in a home network, the router configuration information including at least one slice setting for a service deployment at the home router, and configuring the slice setting on the home router for the service from a remote network separate from the home network. The slice setting can logically divide the home router to enable separation of the service from other services provisioned and configured on the home router. In specific embodiments, the method further includes receiving a request for the service from a service user entity, sending a slice provisioning request to a router manager for provisioning the service in the home router, and receiving a slice provisioned response comprising the router configuration information from the router manager.
