A communication system is disclosed in which a relay communication device identifies a service to be received by at least one other communication device and also identifies the at least one communication device. The relay communication device maintains a mapping between services and the communication device(s) that need to receive that service. The relaying communication device receives service data using a broadcast/multicast bearer and forwards, using a respective device-to-device bearer, the service data to each communication device for which a respective mapping to that particular service is maintained.

Various embodiments provide techniques for automatically extracting data from web pages. Such extraction can take place without the use of a browser, and without necessarily rendering the entire web page. Thus, data extraction can be performed more efficiently and more quickly, while reducing the computing resources needed to perform such operations. In at least one embodiment, data extraction and translation are performed by automatically parsing structured data from visible and hidden elements of a web page.

A method, system and computer program product for handling potential service load interruptions. The utilization of resources, such as servers in a service infrastructure of a SaaS provider, are monitored. If the utilization of a resource exceeds a threshold, then the resource is identified as having an excessive service load leading to a potential service load interruption. When a request is received from a user requesting to access such a resource, one or more action items to be completed by the user are generated and presented to the user. “Action items” refer to any activity that is required by the user to be performed thereby providing the SaaS provider additional time to address the potential service load interruption in an appropriate manner. Additional action item(s) will be presented to the user until the SaaS provider addresses the potential service load interruption, at which point, the request will be serviced.

A method and system for facilitating managing digital content is provided. Further, the method comprises receiving digital content, a supplemental content identifier, and a plurality of target identifiers corresponding to a plurality of target consumer devices from the one source user device, identifying a plurality of destination servers associated with the plurality of target identifiers, identifying a supplemental content based on the supplemental content identifier, processing the digital content based on a plurality of platform characteristics corresponding to the plurality of destination servers embedding the supplemental content in the digital content, generating the supplemental content in the digital content, generating a plurality of digital content based on the processing, transmitting, the plurality of digital content to the plurality of destination servers, and authenticating a consumer with the of destination servers based on a credentials.

A smart casting device includes a broadcast hardware interface coupled to one or more external program material sources, a network controller coupled to one or more digital devices through a network, a service logic controller configured to control the broadcast hardware interface and the network controller to advertise identified ones of the one or more external program material sources to the one or more digital devices, convey, to one or more service providers accessible through the identified external program material sources, subscriptions from the one or more digital devices for program services, and in response to the subscriptions, receive the program services from the one or more service providers and provide the received program services to the one or more subscribing digital devices.

Techniques for combining the functionality of fabric interconnects and switches (e.g., Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches) into one network entity, thereby reducing the number of devices in a fabric and complexity of communications in the fabric. By collapsing FI and ToR switch functionality into one network entity, server traffic may be directly forwarded by the ToR switch and an entire tier is now eliminated from the topology hierarchy which may improve the control, data, and management plane. Further, this disclosure describes techniques for dynamically managing the number of gateway proxies running on one or more computer clusters based on a number of managed switch domains.

A method for an index map-based event system includes receiving at least one subscription rule; processing the at least one subscription rule to determine an index map generation; generating an index map based on the determination; dynamically inserting into a received event, properties of the index map; and sending the modified event to a transport layer for dispatching. A method for dynamic property insertion in an event system includes receiving at least one subscription rule, each of the at least one subscription rule having a set of filter rules; generating an index map based on the filter rules; and annotating properties of a received event with properties referenced the index map correlating to characteristics of the received event. A device is configured to execute the methods disclosed herein. A system is configured to execute the methods disclosed herein.
