A network device (100) detects a network problem in a medical system (105). A reception module (110) receives current medical system process data. A monitoring module (120) detects predefined events (124) based on the process data and triggers a detection signal (132) output in the presence of a predefined event. A sending module (130) sends the detection signal to a predefined device address (134) via a network (140). The predefined events include: a predefined plurality of unsuccessful password entry attempts within a predefined first time period; an unsuccessful encryption within an encryption protocol framework; a predefined plurality of outputs via the network triggered via the network within a predefined second time period; an output of a signal, which is to be carried out, has been unsuccessful; and a predefined number of messages have been received within the framework of a service discovery within a predefined third time period.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to monitor mobile Internet usage are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein to monitor application usage associated with a device means for differentiating between foreground requests and background requests included in a burst of logged requests. Disclosed example apparatus further include means for calculating a presentation duration for a first application executed by the device based on at least a subset of the foreground requests identified in the burst of logged requests.

Embodiments of the invention may improve the performance of multi-processor systems in processing information received via a network. For example, some embodiments may enable configuration of a system such that information received via a network may be distributed among multiple processors for efficient processing. A user (e.g., system administrator) may select from among multiple configuration options, each configuration option being associated with a particular mode of processing information received via a network. By selecting a configuration option, the user may specify how information received via the network is processed to capitalize on the system's characteristics, such as by aligning processors on the system with certain NICs. As such, the processor(s) aligned with a NIC may perform networking-related tasks associated with information received by that NIC. If initial alignment causes one or more processors to become over-burdened, processing tasks may be dynamically re-distributed to other processors so as to achieve a more even distribution of the overall processing burden across the system.

Examples include a method of live migrating a virtual device by creating a virtual device in a virtual machine, creating first and second interfaces for the virtual device, transferring data over the first interface, detecting a disconnection of the virtual device from the virtual machine, switching data transfers for the virtual device from the first interface to the second interface, detecting a reconnection of the virtual device to the virtual machine, and switching data transfers for the virtual device from the second interface to the first interface.

Described are methods, systems and computer readable media for dynamic updating of query result displays.

Virtual private network (VPN) service provider infrastructure (SPI) receives a request to access a VPN from a client device. The VPN SPI selects an Internet Protocol (IP) address for access to the VPN by the client device from a pool of IP addresses. The VPN SPI provides access to the VPN for the client device via the IP address. The VPN SPI receives one or more handshake notifications from the client device. The VPN SPI determines that a threshold time period has passed since a latest-in-time handshake notification of the one or more handshake notifications. The VPN SPI disconnects the client device from the VPN in response to determining that the threshold time period has passed. The VPN SPI adds the IP address to the pool of IP addresses in response to disconnecting the client device from the VPN.

A method for providing data to a client computing device from an edge computing device is discussed herein. The method may include performing a network proximity check regarding the client computing device associated with a request for data captured by the wideband sensor. The method may further include determining, based on at least one proximity metric associated with the client computing device, a route for data responsive to the request for data associated with the network proximity check, where the route is one of a route including the cloud storage or a route that does not include the cloud storage. The method may also include receiving the request for data captured by the wideband sensor associated with the network proximity check. The method may also include transmitting the data responsive to the request for data captured by the wideband sensor associated with the network proximity check to the client computing device through the determined route.

A method of managing a fill state of a buffer in an external device includes monitoring the latency of a network connection to an external device having a network buffer via a managing device. A state of fill of the network buffer is determined based on at least the monitored latency of the network connection, and the effective network speed is estimated based on the state of fill of the network buffer. One or more network traffic scheduling parameters are adjusted in response to the estimated effective network speed, such as a maximum currently usable network speed that is lower than a maximum possible speed of the network. The maximum currently usable network speed of the network connection is periodically increased if the monitored latency is in a normal state and the maximum currently usable network speed is lower than the maximum possible speed of the network.

A solution for route selection includes receiving, by a network repository, from a first network function (NF), a query related to a target NF; querying, by the network repository, a route selection node for a shortest path to the target NF; receiving, by the network repository, from the route selection node, an indication of the shortest path to the target NF; and based on at least receiving the indication of the shortest path to the target NF, transmitting, by the network repository, to the first NF, a route to the target NF. In some examples, the shortest path has at least one of: a minimum number of hops, a minimum latency, a minimum jitter, and a minimum weighted transport score. In some examples, the route selection node is co-located with the network repository, which may be a network repository function (NRF).

Systems and methods for creating loopback packets for transmission through a section of a network for the purpose of testing the operability of links and nodes in this section of the network are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes a step of obtaining information, by a Network Element (NE), about the topology of the network related to at least the nodes in direct communication with a peer node. The method also includes a step of generating one or more loopback packets, where each loopback packet includes at least a header having a path list including one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes in the network. Each path list defines an order of nodes through which the respective loopback packet is to be transmitted.
