Abstract: Novel tools and techniques that can provide wireless service for multiple service providers from a single, multi-service provider wireless access point. In an aspect, a multi-service provider wireless access point might communicate with a plurality of wireless devices, each associated with a different wireless carrier, and route communications from each device to the appropriate carrier (and/or, similarly, transmit communications from each carrier to the appropriate wireless device). In this way, for example, a single wireless access point could provide service to cellphones of subscribers of a number of different carriers. Such a wireless access point can provide enhanced efficiency and reduced cost, along with the ability to provide higher service for a number of wireless carriers.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing remote application access, and, in some cases, by instantiating an application or service close to the intended recipient or user of the application or service, from a networking perspective. A network might provide connectivity between a first computer and a second computer. A file (comprising an application and data) might be transmitted, over the network, from the first computer. A node in the network, which might be on a path between the first and second computers, might determine that the file contains the application and the data, and, based on such determination, might capture the file (before the second computer can receive it). An instance of the application might be instantiated on a compute surface in the network as a service for the second computer, such that the compute surface can operate on the data with the instance of the application.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for tracking website performance and providing a user with website performance data. Embodiments include systems, methods and apparatus for identifying that the user has accessed a website from a user device, obtaining one or more website performance metrics and forwarding one or more website performance metrics to a performance information generator associated with a website performance tracking server. A performance information message is then created by the performance information generator and the performance information message is transmitted to the user device. The performance information message may be displayed to the user on the user device. In selected embodiments, the performance information message is displayed to the user in real-time as the user accesses the website.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing interconnection gateway and/or hub functionalities between or among two or more network functions virtualization (“NFV”) entities that are located in different networks. In some embodiments, a NFV interconnection hub (“NFVIH”) might receive a set of network interconnection information from each of three or more sets of NFV entities, each set of NFV entities being located within a network separate from the networks in which the other sets of NFV entities are located. The NFVIH might be located within a separate external network. The NFVIH might abstract each set of network interconnection information, and might establish one or more links among the three or more sets of NFV entities, based at least in part on the abstracted sets of network interconnection information. The NFVIH might provide access to one or more virtualized network functions (“VNFs”) via the one or more links.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network experience shifting, and, in particular embodiments, using either a roaming or portable hypervisor associated with a user or a local hypervisor unassociated with the user. In some embodiments, a network node in a first network might receive, via a first network access device in a second network, a request from a user device to establish roaming network access, and might authenticate a user associated with the user device, the user being unassociated with the first network access device. Based on a determination that the user is authorized to access data, content, profiles, and/or software applications that are accessible via a second network access device, the network node might establish a secure private connection through a hypervisor or container communicatively coupled to the first network access device to provide the user with access to her data, content, profiles, and/or software applications.
