    Abstract: A method of propagating data packets in a network of nodes is disclosed. The method, implemented at one of the nodes, includes: generating at least one data packet of a first type; collecting a set of data packets of the first type during a first time period, the set including the at least one generated data packet and at least one data packet of the first type received from one or more first nodes in the network; and for each data packet in the set: randomly select two or more neighbouring nodes connected to said one of the nodes; transmit, to each of the two or more selected neighbouring nodes: the data packet, wherein the two or more selected neighbouring nodes are configured to relay the data packet to one or more second nodes in the network using a mode of data propagation that is arbitrarily selected for that neighbouring node. The invention is particularly suited for implementation on a blockchain network such as, for example, the Bitcoin blockchain.

    Abstract: The invention relates to method and devices of enabling determination of overall Quality of Service (QoS) of at least one Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an aspect of the invention, a method of a network node (10a) is provided of enabling determining of an overall QoS of at least one IoT device. The method comprises transmitting (S101), to a device connectivity middleware (DCM) node (14), an identifier of said at least one IoT device (11a) for which a QoS measure is to be acquired, receiving (S102), from the DCM node (14), a network profile of the IoT device (11a) associated with said identifier, transmitting (S103), to a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF, 15), a request for the QoS measure of the IoT device (11a) for the received network profile, the SCEF (15) acquiring the QoS measure from a Policy and Charging Control (PCC) function (16), receiving (S106), from the SCEF, the requested QoS measure of the IoT device (11a), transmitting (S107), to a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LWM2M) device (13), a request for availability information for said at least one IoT device (10a), and receiving (S108), from the LWM2M device (13), the requested availability information, wherein the received QoS measure and the availability information is taken into account for determining the overall QoS of said at least one IoT device (11a).

    Abstract: Disclosed is a sharding block chain generation method based on a tree structure. Method comprises: dividing a server system into at least one group, and respectively selecting a leader of each group; packaging to generate at least one block by leader according to an own local database state, and broadcasting at least one block to all members of group in which leader is located; verifying consistency of at least one block, executing block according to a verification result of consistency, and synchronizing block to other groups. According to method, by means of tree grouping architecture, efficiency of generating block by a block chain framework is improved, block is generated according to own local database state of the leader, a resource waste phenomenon when block is generated in system is reduced, and delay when the block is generated is reduced.

    Abstract: A traffic planning platform may receive information related to a traffic flow including a traffic bandwidth to transport through a network with various network devices interconnected by links. The traffic planning platform may generate a traffic plan by assigning the traffic flow to a set of the links that includes network resources connecting a source of the traffic flow to a destination of the traffic flow. The traffic planning platform may render a visualization of the traffic plan, wherein the visualization includes a user interface (e.g., a diagram, an animation, and/or the like) in which geometric shapes that represent the source, the peer link, and the destination are connected by bands that represent the tunnel and the external route and further in which the geometric shapes and the bands each have a first visual property and a second visual property based on the traffic bandwidth of the traffic flow.

    Abstract: A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid). The client then downloads the data from these peers in parts and in parallel, thereby speeding up the Web transfer, releasing congestion from the Web by fetching the information from multiple sources, and relieving traffic from Web servers by offloading the data transfers from them to nearby peers.
