Abstract: The disclosure provides techniques for deduplicating files. The techniques include, upon creating or modifying a file, placing a logical timestamp of the current logical time, within a queue associated with the directory of the file. The techniques further include placing the logical timestamp within a queue of each parent directory of the directory of the file. To determine a set of files for deduplication, the techniques disclosed herein identify files that have been modified within a logical time range. The set of files modified within a logical time is identified by traversing directories of a storage system, the directories being organized within a tree structure. If a directory's queue does not contain a timestamp that is within the logical time range, then all child directories can be skipped over for further processing, such that no files within the child directories end up being within the set of files for deduplication.

Abstract: An analytics portal, having a machine learning model, is deployed at an edge device in a virtualized computing environment. The machine learning model may be trained internally in the virtualized computing environment or via trained models received via an external network such as a cloud. The analytics portal is in an active mode, while another analytics portal at another host or edge device in the virtualized computing environment is in a passive mode. An election process may be used to change an analytics portal from the active mode to the passive mode. A failover process is also available to transition the passive analytics portal to the active mode, in response to a failure of the current active analytics portal.

Abstract: System and method for converting disk format types of virtual disks in storage executes, in response to a request to convert a disk format type of a target virtual disk from a source disk format type to a destination disk format type, a conversion procedure on each data block of the target virtual disk that satisfies a predefined condition. The conversion procedure executed is based on the source and destination disk format types. The conversion procedure includes taking possession of a granular offset lock for a data block of the target virtual disk, performing a conversion operation on the data block of the target virtual disk only when the data block of the target virtual disk satisfies a required condition, and releasing the granular offset lock for the data block of the target virtual disk after the conversion operation on the data block has been performed.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for quality-aware user data forwarding in a mobile communications system are described. One example may involve a first virtualized network function (VNF) instance supported by a computer system establishing a user plane tunnel with a second VNF instance; and learning path quality information associated with multiple paths over the user plane tunnel. In response to receiving a packet that includes user data for forwarding in an uplink direction or a downlink direction, the first VNF instance may select the first path over the second path based on at least the path quality information; and generate and send an encapsulated packet over the user plane tunnel towards the second VNF instance. The encapsulated packet may include the packet and an outer header specifying the first outer source port number associated with the first path.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for segmenting a user datagram protocol (UDP) packets. A method includes generating the UDP packet, containing UDP data, at a virtual computing instance (VCI) running on a host machine; sending the UDP packet from the VCI to a hypervisor running on the host machine; after sending the UDP packet to the hypervisor, segmenting the UDP packet into a plurality of UDP segments, wherein each of the plurality of UDP segments includes a portion of the UDP data and a UDP header; and transmitting the plurality of UDP segments, over a network, to a destination of the UDP packet.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for adding routable subnets to a logical network that connects multiple machines and is implemented by a software defined network (SDN). The method receives an intent-based API that includes a request to add a routable subnet to the logical network. The method defines (i) a VLAN (virtual local area network) tag associated with the routable subnet, (ii) a first identifier associated with a first logical switch to which at least a first machine in the multiple machines that executes a set of containers belonging to the routable subnet attaches, and (iii) a second identifier associated with a second logical switch designated for the routable subnet. The method generates an API call that maps the VLAN tag and the first identifier to the second identifier. The method provides the API call to a management and control cluster of the SDN to direct the management and control cluster to implement the routable subnet.

Abstract: A method for locating malware in a malware detection system, is provided. The method generally includes storing, at a first endpoint, a mapping of a first file hash and a first file path for a first file classified as an unknown file, opening, at the first endpoint, the first file prior to determining whether the first file is benign or malicious, determining, at the first endpoint, a first verdict for the first file, the first verdict indicating the first file is benign or malicious, locating the first file using the mapping of the first file hash and the first file path, and taking one or more actions based on a policy configured for the first endpoint and the first verdict indicating the first file is benign or malicious.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for authenticating a user through a voice assistant device and creating an association between the device and a user account. The request is associated with a network or federated service. A user account can be implicitly authenticated based on proximity of a client device to the voice assistant device. An association between the user account and the voice assistant device can then be created.

Abstract: Various examples are described for optimizing a reservation workflow in a user interface. In a calendar user interface element, a user can move from a single day reservation to multi-day reservation without having to choose a multi-day reservation to begin the reservation workflow. Additionally, the user interface can instantly recover from an unavailable booking without requiring the user to navigate to another user interface to select an alternative booking.
