    摘要: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and peer devices are disclosed that facilitate network censorship circumvention. A censored peer sends to a rendezvous peer censored peer location information. A connection with a volunteer peer is then established using volunteer peer location information received from the rendezvous peer for a matched volunteer peer. First network traffic is then sent to the volunteer peer in accordance with a first network protocol using a second network protocol associated with the connection. The first network traffic is directed to a network host restricted with respect to the censored peer and the second network protocol is a peer-to-peer network protocol. Second network traffic responsive to the first network traffic is then extracted from network message(s) to thereby obtain access to the restricted network host via the volunteer peer. The first network messages are in accordance with the second network protocol and received via the connection.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for remotely updating configuration logic on Internet of Things (IoT) devices located physically proximate to industrial systems equipment. The IoT devices are configured to monitor and detect outputs, such as sensor data, corresponding to the industrial systems equipment, and the IoT devices are further configured to operate as gateway devices through which communications are routed between a remote computing system and the industrial systems equipment. The IoT devices operate according to configuration files generated at the remote computing system and transmitted to the IoT devices. The IoT devices are notified by the remote computing system of subsequent updates to their respective configuration files. Responsive to receiving a configuration file update notice, an IoT device may establish a back-channel communication link to the remote computing system across which the updated configuration file is identified and retrieved based at least on an updated timestamp.

    摘要: This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and discloses a communication method and apparatus, to improve a ratio of translation between an external network IP address and an internal network IP address, and improve utilization of the external network IP address. The method includes: receiving an outbound packet sent by an internal network device to an external network, where the outbound packet carries an internal network Transaction-ID, and the Transaction-ID marks a group including a domain name system DNS outbound packet and a corresponding inbound packet; assigning an external network IP, an external network port number, and an external network Transaction-ID to the outbound packet; and replacing a source IP, a source port number, and the internal network Transaction-ID of the outbound packet with the external network IP, the external network port number, and the external network Transaction-ID, and then sending the outbound packet.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a method receives a packet for a flow from a first application in a first workload to a second application in a second workload. The packet includes an inner header that includes layer 4 information for the first application. The method determines if a setting indicates an outer source port in an outer header should be generated using layer 4 information from the inner header. The setting is based on an analysis of packet types in the flow to determine if fragmented packets are sent. When the setting indicates the outer source port in the outer header should be generated using layer 4 information from the inner header, the method generates the outer source port using the layer 4 information for the first application from the inner header. The packet is encapsulated using the outer header, wherein the outer header includes the outer source port.
