A migration process for migration of a virtual machine from a source host to a destination host has initiated is determined. The source host and the destination host are part of a network. A multicast address that is mapped to a group comprising the source host and the destination host is obtained. Host in the network to begin encapsulating packets addressed to the virtual machine and send the encapsulated packets using the multicast address in a destination address field of the encapsulated packets is notified.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a group-based communication server for associating an identifier with one or more message communications within a group-based communication system. In some embodiments, the group-based communication server comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code.

A method and a device for managing a remote communication service (streaming) between a terminal in a communications network and an object of a local area network. The terminal and the object are capable of communicating via a gateway of the local area network. The method includes the following steps on a service provision device providing the service: establishing a list of associations between an address for accessing the object and at least one feature of the service; obtaining at least one criterion linked to the terminal; selecting at least one association in the list of associations according to said criterion; and sending to the terminal at least one address associated with said at least one selected association.

Embodiments of this application disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for implementing data transmission. The method includes: obtaining, by a sending device, a data packet in a target data flow; and sending the data packet through each of at least two physical links between the sending device and a receiving device, where the data packet sent through each of the at least two physical links includes a same sequence number. Because the data packet in the target data flow is sent through different physical links, not through only one physical link, when a transmission latency of the data packet is increased due to a bandwidth instability factor such as burst traffic or electromagnetic wave interference on any physical link, the receiving device can combine, into a target video flow, data packets that are sent through other physical links and that have a lower latency.

A more efficient method of data collecting using multicast instead of individual slave-by-slave requests for data defines a multicast address through a master station. Slave stations are divided into feature groups according to their feature value and a mapping relationship table between the multicast addresses and the feature groups is established. Data request frames from the master station to the slave stations include a destination address which is parsed by all the slave stations, and if the destination address is the same as the multicast address in the mapping relationship table, the slave stations in the feature group associated with the destination address transmit data in response to the master station, the data request being discarded by other slave stations which are not associated.

A device estimating apparatus acquires one or more DNS queries transmitted from each device connected to a network and generates comparison source data in which each content of the acquired DNS queries is associated with one or more pieces of attribute information of each of the one or more devices that have transmitted the DNS queries having the content. Thereafter, when one or more DNS queries are acquired from an estimation target device, the device estimating apparatus reads, for each DNS query, attribute information of one or more devices associated with a content of the DNS query from the comparison source data and estimates an attribute of the estimation target device using the read attribute information.

A first edge server of multiple edge servers of a distributed edge computing network receives a request from a client device regarding a resource hosted at an origin server according to an anycast implementation. The first edge server modifies the request to include identifying information for the first edge server prior to sending the request to the origin server. The origin server responds with a response packet that includes the identifying information of the first edge server. Instead of routing the response packet to the client device directly, one of the multiple edge servers receives the response packet due to the edge servers each having the same anycast address. If the edge server that receives the response packet is not the first edge server, that edge server transmits the response packet to the first edge server, who processes the response packet and transmits the response packet to the client device.
