The aim is to transmit a data packet from an ethernet component, which is in an ethernet network, to an industrial communication network in a mixed network. An industrial communication network configured according to the standards of the IEEE 802.1 TSN working group is used, and at least one guarantee defined in the standards of the IEEE 802.1 TSN working group is assigned for the data packet in that a frame which contains the data packet is identified in the industrial communication network configured according to the standards of the IEEE 802.1 TSN working group by a TSN bridge and converted into a TSN stream which contains the data packet, and the data packet is transmitted to a TSN component in the TSN stream.

Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the rack. In one method, a TOR switch is mounted in a rack. The TOR switch is connected to a network fabric of a data center. A lock is used to control physical access to the rack. A request to physically access the rack is received from a computing device (e.g., a badge implementing a security token, or a mobile device). The request includes authentication credentials. The computing device is then authenticated. In response to authenticating the computing device, the lock is configured to provide physical access to the rack.

Systems and methods are disclosed for selecting a digital component for a user device based on data derived from connection parameters of the connection between the user device and an access point, without prompting the user for information. Connection parameters are extracted from access point data (e.g., geo-location parameters of the access point) that are specific to the access point and transformed into attributes of a user independently of requesting any submission of personal information from/about the user of the particular device. The attributes of the user are then used to generate a connection profile for the user. The connection profile can include the connection parameters as well as other derived attributes of the user. Based on the connection profile, a digital component is selected to be delivered to the user device.

A system comprises premises equipment including premises devices located at a premises. The system includes a partner device located at the premises and configured to use a partner protocol different from a protocol of the premises equipment. The system includes a system server configured to interact with the premises devices. The system server is configured to interact with the partner device via a partner proxy corresponding to the partner device. The system includes automation rules coupled to the system server. The automation rules include actions and triggers for controlling interactions between at least one of the partner device and the premises devices. The system includes a user interface coupled to the system server and configured to interact with the premises devices and the partner device.

An energy storage system includes a plurality of physical devices and an integration engine. The physical devices include at least a battery and a power inverter operable to charge and discharge the battery. Each of the physical devices stores one or more data points. The integration engine includes a processing circuit having a processor and memory. The memory stores a virtual device network including a plurality of virtual devices and a virtual device manager. Each of the virtual devices includes one or more attributes. The virtual device manager is configured to map the attributes of the virtual devices to corresponding data points stored by the physical devices and update the attributes of the virtual devices in response to detecting changes in value of the corresponding data points stored by the physical devices.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems for providing multiple egress routes from a telecommunications network for a client of the network. In general, the system provides for a client of the network to receive intended packets of information through multiple connections to the network such that load balancing and failover services for traffic to the customer are provided. The process and system allow for telecommunications network to utilize a common next-hop value of announced border gateway protocol (BGP) routes to advertise multiple routes to reach a destination customer network or address. By utilizing a common next-hop value in the announced BGP information, the devices of the network may load balance communication packets to the destination customer or address among the multiple egress locations from the network, as well as providing fast failover to alternate routes when a failure at the network or customer occurs.

A method of storing a communication path between neighboring home-control networks is provided. Each home-control network includes a network controller and a plurality of network devices. Each network device is configured to transmit and receive messages using at least one of powerline signaling and radio frequency signaling. A server receives a notification from a first network controller indicating that a first network device within a first home-control network received a message transmitted from a second network device within a second home-control network. The server stores an indication of a communication path from the server to the first network device via the second home-control network in a memory of the server.

Techniques for fingerprinting and aggregating a virtual private cloud (VPC) flow log stream are provided. Each VPC flow log event in the VPC flow log is first determined to be a request event or a response event. A fingerprint is then generated for each VPC flow log event. The fingerprint for a VPC flow log event is generated based on the determination whether the VPC flow log event is a request event or a response event and by concatenating and encoding data contained in a set of data fields corresponding to the VPC flow log event. Based on the fingerprint generated for each VPC flow log event, related events can be detected and aggregated to form an aggregated event. Information stored with each aggregated event can then be used to better monitor the VPC.

The present invention relates to a Zigbee or other multi-hop network that can become a bottleneck for certain applications, e.g. entertainment streaming to (multiple) areas in the areas (e.g. at home) where hopping is needed. By locally utilizing an temporary gateway (50) being present right in a data-hungry area, the overall performance across the network can be improved. Using this temporary gateway (50), (part of) the data can be routed 5 directly to/from the destination/source nodes (10, 40) thus freeing up capacity in the remainder of the network.

This application provides an interface circuit of a vehicle-mounted control unit comprising an H-bridge circuit, an input branch, and a pull-up network. An input end of the H-bridge circuit is connected to a controller 240, and an output end of the H-bridge circuit is connected to an interface port IO of the interface circuit. A first end of the input branch is connected to the interface port IO, and a second end of the input branch is connected to the controller.
