A processing device can receive a request directed to an application such as a service and parse the request to determine a version identifier based on the content of the request. The processing device can acquire a version label corresponding to at least one instance of the application from among multiple instances of the application and match the version label and the version identifier, providing automatic detection and routing of a request to an instance of an application with the correct version. The computing device can store version labels and routing rules for each instance among the multiple instances of the application deployed in the network prior to receiving requests, or determine version labels and routing when a request is received.

A method includes building a wireless packet that includes a preamble that is compliant with a first wireless communication protocol and is forward compatible with a second wireless communication protocol that is different than the first wireless communication protocol. Building the wireless packet includes building the preamble with a first subset of bits that are specified in both the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol, the first subset of bits including one or more media access control (MAC) layer characteristics. Building the wireless packet includes building the preamble with a second subset of bits that are specified in the first wireless communication protocol exclusive of the second wireless communication protocol. The method further includes transmitting the wireless packet to one or more receiver nodes.

A computer-implemented method and a system are provided for providing enrichment information using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). The method includes: extracting and storing enrichment information received in a client handshake initiator packet for negotiating an encryption protocol for a network session of a Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) packet stream at a termination of a security protocol in a network; and obtaining one or more Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests by decrypting the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) packet stream of the network session, and adding the enrichment information as a header to at least the first HTTP request being routed towards a server.

A resource publishing method includes that: a gateway receives a first resource link of a resource to be published from a server; the gateway determines, based on an obtained identifier of the server and the first resource link of the resource to be published, a second resource link of the resource to be published; and the gateway sends the second resource link of the resource to be published to a cloud platform, where the second resource link of the resource to be published is used by the cloud platform to publish the resource to be published on a resource directory.

Systems and methods are disclosed for enforcing at least one rule associated with a geofence. At least one device is constructed and configured in network communication with a server platform and a database. The server platform defines at least one geofence for a region of interest and specifies at least one rule associated with the at least one geofence, thereby creating a rule-space model for the region of interest. The at least one geofence comprises a multiplicity of geographic designators with each geographic designator assigned with a unique IPv6 address. The at least one device receives at least one notification signal regarding the at least one rule from the at least one server platform and implements the at least one rule when the at least one device is within a predetermined distance from the at least one geofence for the region of interest.

A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid). The client then downloads the data from these peers in parts and in parallel, thereby speeding up the Web transfer, releasing congestion from the Web by fetching the information from multiple sources, and relieving traffic from Web servers by offloading the data transfers from them to nearby peers.

An example method to provide communication between a first computer in a first computer network and a second computer in a second computer network is disclosed. The method includes aliasing the second computer's address in the second computer network to a loopback interface of a third computer in the first computer network and establishing a tunnel between the third computer and a fourth computer in the second computer network. Establishing the tunnel includes configuring the fourth computer to forward traffic received from the tunnel to the second computer. The method further includes configuring routing in the first computer network to direct traffic destined for the second computer network to the third computer, and configuring the first computer to transmit packets destined for the second computer with the second computer's address in the second computer network.
