A Byzantine fault-tolerant distributed computing system of nodes configured to process client requests, executes a leader-based total order broadcast (LBTOB) protocol. The computing system concurrently executes multiple instances of the LBTOB protocol at the nodes, on respective disjoint partitions of the client requests, and the disjoint partitions are assigned to the instances using a deterministic function of a state of the system. The computing system multiplexes outputs of the executing instances in an ordered log of the client requests, and the ordered log is maintained at each of the nodes.

Systems and methods are provided for initiation, use, access, and control of functionality of a network. In one aspect, the systems and methods can be utilized to generate information defining signaling or control performance and operational characteristics associated with the functionality in a variety of network environments. In another aspect, based on such information, adaptive signaling can be utilized to monitor, analyze and detect specific signaling signatures associated with the functionality. Managing signaling or control messages in response to information collected by monitoring and analyzing the adaptive signaling permits originating or requesting the functionality without conventional operation of a network component.

A method of controlling a packet stream generated by an application installed in a mobile terminal, the stream being intended to be sent by the terminal over a communications network managed by an operator. The method includes the following acts implemented in the terminal, for at least one packet generated by the application: obtaining a first packet having a first header and payload data; transmitting a request message to a security module installed in the terminal, the message including a parameter of the first header; receiving a response from the security module, which includes an instruction relating to transmission of a second packet, the response being based on the parameter and established according to a processing rule; preparing the second packet by modifying the first header into a second header, based on the instruction, the second packet including the second header and the payload data; and transmitting the second packet.

Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for processing data transmissions from a plurality of client devices to create composites for transmission to destination addresses are provided. Communications via a network may be received from a set of devices. Each communication may include a digital identifier corresponding to a destination specification. The communication may be processed to identify the digital identifier and to identify the destination specification. A data portion may be selected from the communication and cached. A second format may be identified as corresponding to a second communication medium, where the second format is different from a first format of the communication. A composite may be created according to the second format. The composite may include the selected data portion and the destination specification. The composite formatted according to the second format may be transmitted toward an endpoint device in accordance with the destination specification.

The present disclosure relates to a method, device and computer program for communicating information relating to wireless power transmission, and a recording medium thereof. A quick discovery method by means of out-of-band (OOB) in a wireless power transmission system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can comprise the steps in which: a power transmitter (PTX) receives one or more advertisement data items from a power receiver (PRX) in the OOB; the PTX obtains a first service or characteristic of the PRX in the OOB on the basis of the advertisement data items; power transmission from the PTX to the PRX is initiated in-band on the basis of the first service or characteristic; and the PTX obtains a second service or characteristic of the PRX in the OOB after the power transmission has been initiated.

A technology is provided for invoking a random linear network coding (RLNC) communications protocol between a client and server in a network. In one example, a synchronize message requesting a network connection to a server can contain an indication that a client supports the RLNC communications protocol to encode and decode data packets using random linear network coding. The server can analyze the synchronize message for the indication that the client supports the RLNC communications protocol and send an acknowledge message to the client indicating that the server supports the RLNC communications protocol. Thereafter, the server can listen on a communications channel for a connection request sent by the client to communicate with the server using the RLNC communications protocol.

Provided is a communication apparatus for making connection to a communication network, including: an optical network unit; and an external power supply input/output terminal, the communication apparatus being configured such that electrical power is fed to the optical network unit from an external terminal that is connected to the external power supply input/output terminal and functions as an auxiliary power supply.

Systems and methods are disclosed to infer, using a machine learned model, a service protocol of a server based on the banner data produced by the server. In embodiments, the machine learned model is implemented by a network scanner configured to receive banner data from open ports on servers. A received banner is parsed into a set of features, such as the counts or presence of particular characters or strings in the banner. In embodiments, certain types of banner content such as network addresses, hostnames, dates, and times, are replaced with special characters. The machine learned model is applied to the features to infer a most likely protocol of the server port that produced the banner. Advantageously, the model can be trained to perform the inference task with high accuracy and without using human-specified rules, which can be brittle for unconventional banner data and carry undesired biases.
