A method for preserving a media access control (MAC) address of a virtual server is provided. The method includes assigning a physical computing resource to a virtual server, assigning a physical storage memory resource to the virtual server, and assigning a physical network resource to the virtual server. The method includes assigning a virtual MAC address to the virtual server, the virtual MAC address to remain with the virtual server despite reassignment of one or more of the physical computing resource, the physical storage memory resource or the physical network resource, wherein at least one method operation is performed by a processor. A computing and storage system is also provided.

As described herein, a machine learning system, method, and computer program are provided for managing guest network access in a residential space. In use, network usage data is collected from a residential network router operating in a residential space. Additionally, a machine learning algorithm processes the network usage data to classify a user device connected to the residential network router as being operated by a guest of the residential space. Further, the classification is output for performing one or more related actions.

A pervasive realtime framework supports the execution of realtime software applications with high-level functions that significantly reduce the effort and time needed to develop realtime software applications in a new operating environment paradigm in which realtime connections between network nodes are pervasive. The pervasive realtime framework handles the complex tasks of connecting to communicants, virtual areas, and other network resources, as well as switching those connections in response to user inputs and thereby enables software application developers to focus on developing high-level realtime software application functionality.

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for: establishing connectivity with a plurality of security-relevant subsystems within a computing platform; defining a plurality of subsystem-specific queries on a unified platform concerning the plurality of security-relevant subsystems, wherein one or more of the plurality of subsystem-specific queries has a defined execution schedule; and providing the plurality of subsystem-specific queries to the plurality of security-relevant subsystems.

A lazy graph construction with compression includes receiving a query related to a network; one of generating a site graph for the network and accessing the site graph already in memory; performing a search on the site graph based on the query; accessing data in a database and generating, in the memory, a plurality of sub-graphs using the data, for the query; and providing a solution to the query based on the search and a search of the plurality of sub-graphs. The site graph can be at a site level and includes network elements and associated connections in the network, and the plurality of sub-graphs can be at an intra-site level including any of component-to-component connections and intra-component connections.

The present invention proposes a scheme for realizing a structure and a technology which can support direct linkage between services in an inter-MEC environment, the services being mounted in different MEC systems, respectively.

Lightweight, dynamic mechanisms are provided to support service layer interworking and resource extensibility. For example, one mechanism disclosed herein comprises defining a new service layer (SL) resource definition registration procedure that allows for specifying custom attributes of service layer resources to represent third party technology resources. A second mechanism disclosed herein comprises defining a new SL data model mapping registration procedure to map service layer resources to third party data models and to provide a new interworked retargeting indicator to the service layer. Further, a third mechanism disclosed herein comprises defining a SL generic interworking procedure to intelligently retarget requests toward interworked resources based on the interworked retargeting indicator provided by the data model mapping.
