摘要： Techniques and apparatus for aggregating social network service (SNS) data are disclosed. In an example method for operating a computerized SNS aggregator having a plurality of account holders, identifiers for one or more external network-accessible SNS accounts associated with each of several account holders are collected and stored. An access token for each of the associated external network-accessible SNS accounts is collected and stored. Data-sharing relationships between pairs of account holders having linked accounts within the SNS aggregator service are identified. Subsequently, one or more account holders having a data-sharing relationship with a first account holder are identified. One or more external network-accessible SNS accounts for each of the other account holders are accessed, using the corresponding stored access tokens. Finally, a data feed for the first account holder is assembled, using data items retrieved from the external network-accessible SNS accounts for the other account holders.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments relate to a network node implementing redundant cards and configured to synchronize sequence numbers, and a related method. The network node may include a fabric configured to route packets towards a destination. Furthermore, the network node may include an active card configured to establish at least one link to a destination node, generate a sequence number for each packet to be sent, and send a messaging packet including at least one sequence number from the active card to inactive cards over a communication channel on a data path in the fabric. Finally, the network node may include an inactive card configured to receive the messaging packet including the at least one sequence number from the active card over the communication channel, extract the at least one sequence number, and synchronize operation of the inactive card to the active card using the at least one sequence number.

摘要： This disclosure generally discloses a tunnel-level fragmentation and reassembly capability configured to support tunnel-level fragmentation and reassembly of a packet being transported via a tunnel between a tunnel source node and a tunnel destination node. The tunnel-level fragmentation and reassembly capability may be configured to support tunnel-level fragmentation and reassembly of packets in a manner tending to prevent reassembly errors, that could cause malformed packets or packet drops at the tunnel destination nodes, due to multiple parallel tunnel contexts of the tunnel which may correspond to multiple parallel entry points into the tunnel at the tunnel source node. The tunnel-level fragmentation and reassembly capability may be configured to support tunnel-level fragmentation and reassembly of packets within various types of communication networks, for various types of tunnels, or the like.

摘要： The invention is directed to monitoring execution of software threads, particularly by detecting a lockup or stall in execution of a software thread and initiating a remedial action in response. Advantageously, some embodiments of the invention automatically detect a lockup or stall in execution of a software thread by periodically sampling information corresponding to the thread, and, in accordance with a determination made using the information, initiate an attempt to recover from such a condition in execution without the need for manual intervention.
