Abstract:
A method includes receiving a request for an edge cache address, and comparing a requester address to an anycast group. The method can further include providing an anycast edge cache address when the requestor address is in the anycast group. Alternatively, the method can further include determining an optimal cache server, and providing a unicast address of the optimal cache server when the requester address is not in the anycast group.
Abstract:
Techniques for increasing power and resource efficiency of a mobile device are presented herein. In the mobile device, with regard to periodic or one-time data transfers, a communication management component can analyze information comprising data transfer parameter information, including jitter information, associated with each application of a subset of applications used by the device and can desirably schedule and/or bundle data transfers associated with the applications to reduce the number of separate data bursts to transfer that data to thereby reduce use of wireless resources and power consumption by the device. A push notification system can receive respective jitter information associated with each application from the mobile device, and the push notification system can desirably schedule and/or bundle push notifications to reduce the number of separate data bursts sent to the device to reduce use of wireless resources and power consumption by the device.
Abstract:
A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for hashing wireless traffic are disclosed. For example, the method hashes the wireless traffic uniformly by a plurality of probe servers based on at least one first key to provide a plurality of streams, and hashes at least one output stream of each of the plurality of probe servers uniformly based on at least one second key to provide a plurality of output streams. The method then provides the plurality of output streams to at least one aggregator server.
Abstract:
A packet trace is received. Inter-arrival times between the multiple packets in the packet trace are determined. An inter-arrival time in the inter-arrival times that is greater than a threshold is identified. An order number of the inter-arrival time is identified. A determination is made as to whether a size of each of at least a portion of the multiple packets is equal to a maximum segment size. When a determination is made that the size of each of at least a portion of the multiple packets is equal to the maximum segment size, a size of the ICW as a product of the order number and the maximum segment size is returned.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to communicatively couple virtual private networks to virtual machines within distributive computing networks are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving a request to provision a virtual machine from a virtual private network, determining a host for the virtual machine within a distributive computing network, creating the virtual machine within the host, communicatively coupling the virtual machine to a virtual local area network switch within the distributive computing network, configuring a portion of a router to be communicatively coupled to the virtual machine via the virtual local area network switch by specifying an address space within the router associated with at least one of the virtual machine or the virtual private network communicatively coupled to the router, and communicatively coupling the portion of the router to the virtual private network.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a controller to determine a behavioral profile of an end user from packet traffic generated by activities of the end user, and share the behavioral profile with a network element for distributing targeted advertisements to the end user according to the behavioral profile. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for performing content aware optimized tunneling in a communication network are disclosed. For example, the method authenticates a user endpoint device, establishes a tunnel to the user endpoint device if the user endpoint device is authenticated, analyzes content of a data packet transmitted through the tunnel to determine if the tunnel should be re-directed, and re-directs the tunnel to a gateway general packet radio services support node light based upon the content of the data packet.
Abstract:
A method, a computer readable medium and an apparatus for inferring state transitions in a wireless communications network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method infers a state promotion procedure. In another embodiment, the method infers a state demotion procedure.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to dynamically control access from VPNs to shared resources are disclosed. A disclosed example route reflector comprises a memory to implement a database, a user interface module to receive a request to permit access for a VPN to a shared resource, a BGP engine to process BGP advertisements, a network interface to receive a first BGP advertisement from a PE router associated with the VPN that includes a first RT associated with the VPN, and a shared resource access controller to update the database based on the request, to query the database to determine whether the VPN has access to the shared resource in response to the first BGP advertisement, and to direct the BGP engine to form a second BGP advertisement based on the first BGP advertisement that includes a second RT associated with the shared resource when the VPN has access to the shared resource.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method includes identifying a universal resource locator and characterizing a traffic pattern associated with the universal resource locator. The traffic pattern can include referrer information, referring information, advertising network relationship information, and any combination thereof. The method can further include classifying the universal resource locator into a risk category based on the traffic pattern.
