Example methods and systems are directed to a decentralized computing arrangement including a management system connected to a wide area network. The management system has a publish/subscribe messaging platform and a platform manager to provide an application for installation on edge devices. Each edge device has a wide area network interface to connect to the wide area network thereby to receive configuration data from the management system to install the application on the edge device. The edge device further includes a messaging interface to receive messages from the publish/subscribe messaging platform. The messages control installation of the application and allow communications between the edge device and the management system based on topics.

A system for responding to external requests received at an internal bot network is provided. The system may include an internal bot network including a plurality of internal bots. The plurality of internal bots may interact with a plurality of external bots. The system may include a translation layer/barrier. Each bot included in the plurality of internal bots and the plurality of external bots may be resident on one or more hardware processors. Each external bot may communicate using its own unique set of external specifications. Each internal bot may communicate using a universal set of internal specifications and is prevented from communicating using a set of external specifications. The translation layer/barrier may intercept requests and responses between the plurality of internal bots and the plurality of external bots. The translation layer/barrier reformats intercepted requests and responses to correspond to the set of specifications specific to the receiving bot.

A first IP address is set to the host, and a second IP address is set to the storage card. A storage card includes a storage device and a processor for executing firmware. The host converts a first Ethernet packet including an ISP-related request and destined for the second IP address into an NVMe request according to an NVMe protocol, and transfers the NVMe request to the storage card. The firmware parses the NVMe request to perform the ISP-related request.

One or more endpoints may be registered with a gateway at a premises. The gateway may include local physical interfaces for communicating with a first subset of the endpoints. The gateway may further include Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy servers for communicating with a second subset of the endpoints. Incoming communications to the premises may be routed by the gateway to one or more of the endpoints via the local physical interfaces or the SIP proxy servers. One or more endpoints may initiate outgoing communications via the local physical interfaces or the SIP proxy servers.

Systems and methods for peer-to-peer video streaming from an edge data storage device to a browser are described. A media device, such as a surveillance video camera, may include a media server and a proxy server. The media server may send media streaming files using a first data transfer protocol to the proxy server in the media device. Using a second data transfer protocol, the proxy server on the media device may establish a secure peer-to-peer connection to another proxy server on a user device. The proxy server on the user device may provide the media streaming files to an internet browser on the user device and the internet browser may display the media from the media streaming file.
