A computing system implementing an application service can determine, from a network dataset, that a network latency for a common network service provider crosses an upper latency threshold. Based on this determination, the system can determine a subset of the computing devices that utilize the common network service provider, and transmit a set of configuration signals to the subset of computing devices. The set of configuration signals can modify a set of default application configurations of a designated application to compensate for the network latency.

A network device (ND) includes packet processing circuitry and performance optimization circuitry. The packet processing circuitry is connected to a network and is configured to process communication packets for communicating over the network. The packet processing circuitry includes a plurality of configuration registers for setting one or more operation parameters of the ND. The performance optimization circuitry is configured to improve a performance measure of the ND by iteratively calculating the performance measure and adjusting values of one or more of the configuration registers based on the performance measure.

Techniques are described to automatically activate and deactivate standby backup paths in response to changing bandwidth requirements in an adaptive private network (APN). The APN includes one or more regular active wide area network (WAN) links in an active mode and an on-demand WAN link in a standby mode. The on-demand WAN link is activated to supplement the conduit bandwidth when an available bandwidth of the conduit falls below a pre-specified trigger bandwidth threshold and the conduit bandwidth usage exceeds a usage threshold of a bandwidth of the conduit that is being supplied by the active paths (BWc). The on-demand WAN link is deactivated to standby mode when an available bandwidth of the conduit is above the pre-specified trigger bandwidth threshold and the conduit bandwidth usage drops below the usage threshold of BWc techniques for adaptive and active bandwidth testing of WAN links in an APN are also described.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system receives data at an edge node of a network that also includes regional nodes and central nodes. The processing system also determines a latency criterion associated with an application for processing the data; the application corresponds to an application programming interface. The method also includes processing the data in accordance with the application, monitoring a latency associated with the processing, and determining whether the latency meets the latency criterion. The processing system dynamically assigns data processing resources so that the latency meets the latency criterion; the resources include computation, network and storage resources of the edge node, a central node, and a regional node in communication with the edge node and the central node. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method of using a proxy network to normalize online connections uses a global proxy network (GPN) to manage connections between a plurality of local proxy clients and a destination server. First, an optimization process is executed for the overall network connection between each local proxy client and the destination server. The latency of each optimized connection are then examined to determine a normalization point, which corresponds to the highest latency among the optimized connections. The rest of the connections are then adjusted to conform to the normalization point by adding latency to the connections to match the latency of the normalization point.

In general, techniques are described for remotely monitoring, controlling, and/or adjusting configuration settings related to network access points located within a rental property. In some implementations, rental data that indicates a property that has been rented for a specified rental period is received. Sensor data collected by one or more sensors of the property during the specified rental period is obtained. A current occupancy of the property during the specified rental period is determined from the sensor data. Network data indicating network activity over a network access point of the property is obtained during the specified rental period. The network access point is configured during the specified rental period based at least on the network activity indicated by the network data and the current occupancy determined for the property from the sensor data.
