    Abstract: An example method of beacon probing in a computing system includes: sending, by cross-host beacon probing (CHBP) software executing in a first host of the computing system, a first beacon probe from a first network interface controller (NIC) of the first host to NICs on a same layer 2 domain as the first NIC, the NICs including a second NIC of the first host and cross-host NICs of at least one host other than the first host; receiving, at the CHBP software through the first NIC, acknowledgements (ACKs) to the first beacon probe from the cross-host NICs; and determining, in response to the first beacon probe, connectivity statuses of the first NIC and the second NIC by the CHBP software based on the ACKs and on whether the second NIC receives the first beacon probe.

    Abstract: A smart casting device includes a broadcast hardware interface coupled to one or more external program material sources, a network controller coupled to one or more digital devices through a network, a service logic controller configured to control the broadcast hardware interface and the network controller to advertise identified ones of the one or more external program material sources to the one or more digital devices, convey, to one or more service providers accessible through the identified external program material sources, subscriptions from the one or more digital devices for program services, and in response to the subscriptions, receive the program services from the one or more service providers and provide the received program services to the one or more subscribing digital devices.
