Providing multi-device services using a network application programming interface. The server obtains the accessibility in-ormation which indicates the plurality of devices and their capabilities. The plurality of devices have a same user identity. In this way, the server can take control on devices of participate for MuD services.

In a communication method, a first access network device sends first information to a second access network device, where the first information is used to indicate that the first access network device has notified a core network device that a quality of service requirement of at least one quality of service flow cannot be met; the second access network device may send second information to the core network device, where the second information is used to notify the core network device that a quality of service requirement of a first quality of service flow in the at least one quality of service flow can be met, and the first quality of service flow is a quality of service flow that has been handed over from the first access network device to the second access network device.

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a network function (NF). The NF comprises, a communication unit configured to receive, from another NF, a message regarding association between the NF and the another NF; and a message processing unit configured to obtain, from the received message, delivery information for a message to be transmitted to the another NF, and to transmit the message to be transmitted to the another NF based on the obtained delivery information to the another NF.

Computer technology for assessing a user's interaction with web content (for example, a session of web surfing). The assessment is performed by computer and includes: (i) detecting interactions of a user with a website during a visit; (ii) based on the interactions, creating a user experience of the visit, wherein the user experience comprises a plurality of images depicting the content viewed by the user; (iii) analyzing the interactions; and (iv) overlaying the analysis of the interactions on the plurality of images depicting the user experience.

Techniques for outbound/inbound lateral traffic punting based upon process risk are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for outbound/inbound lateral traffic punting based upon process risk includes receiving, at a network device on an enterprise network, process identification (ID) information from an endpoint (EP) agent executed on an EP device, in which the process ID information identifies a process that is associated with an outbound or inbound network session on the EP device on the enterprise network, and the EP agent selected the network session for punting to the network device for inspection; monitoring network communications associated with the network session at the network device to identify an application identification (APP ID) for the network session; and performing an action based on a security policy using the process ID information and the APP ID.

A system and method of forming proxy server pools is provided. The method comprises several steps, such as requesting a pool to execute the user's request and retrieving an initial group. The system checks the service history of an initial group, including whether any of the proxy servers in an initial group are exclusive to existing pools. The exclusive proxy servers in an initial group with eligible proxy servers are replaced when needed and new proxy server pools are formed. The system also records the service history of proxy servers and pools before and after the pools are created. The method can also involve predicting the pool health in relation with the thresholds foreseen and replacing the proxy servers below the threshold.

A computing system may include a server, client computing devices, a gateway device in communication between the server and the client computing devices, and a local device to be coupled to a given client computing device and to be operable in a given virtual desktop instance associated with the given client computing device, thereby generating client initialization packets. The gateway device may be configured to when the local device is coupled to the given client computing device, determine whether a client packet from a plurality of client initialization packets is within a client mapping table, replace the client packet with a client mapping ID number to define compressed client initialization packets, and send the compressed client initialization packets to the server. The server may be configured to replace the client mapping ID number with the client packet in the compressed client initialization packets based upon a server mapping table.

The disclosed technology teaches testing a mesh network using new service application level KPIs that extend the TWAMP measurement architecture. A control-client receives and parses a configuration file to populate memory with IP addresses, ports, and test session parameters for disclosed KPIs used to originate two-way test sessions from a first network host; with control-servers and session-reflectors. The method extends the receiving, parsing and originating to dozens to thousands of control-clients, by sending to the control-clients configuration files to originate respective test sessions with control-servers in a mesh network using respective test session parameters; and while the test is running, sending an updated configuration file to at least one control-client that introduces a new control-server or replaces a control-server; and expanding the test to include the new or replacement control-server without stopping or restarting TW test sessions with other control-servers; and monitoring the running test sessions and receiving results.
