According to one aspect disclosed herein, a system can include a set of node peers, including a first subset implemented in software and a second subset implemented in hardware. The first subset can include a software node. The second subset can include a hardware node that includes a hardware cache, a processor, and a memory that stores computer-executable instructions. The hardware node can receive, from a network, a packet, and can determine if data that identifies a path associated with the packet is stored in the hardware cache. If not, the hardware node can query the software node to identify the path associated with the packet, and can receive, in response from the software node, the data that identifies the path, which then can be stored in the hardware cache. The hardware node can forward, along the path, the packet to a network element.

A controller (16) for controlling a player (14), the player (14) being configured to: play back segments of a data stream stored in a buffer (12), and request at least one segment of the data stream to be transferred from a peer-to-peer cache (10) to the buffer (12) whenever an amount of data pending for playback in the buffer (12) is less than a data threshold, wherein the peer-to-peer cache (10) stores segments of a data stream in a format adapted for transfers in a peer-to-peer network; wherein the controller (16) is configured to: be set into a dynamic mode wherein the controller (16) alternately sets the data threshold to first value and to a second value greater than the first value, and into be set into a static mode wherein the controller (16) maintains the data threshold at the second value; and switch between the dynamic mode and the static mode whenever predefined conditions are met.

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network boost system for boosting the transmission of specific packets between at least two electronic devices on the internet includes at least one boosting node and a hardware boosting device, wherein the hardware boosting device includes a geographical location judging module, a P2P matching module and a transmitting module. The boosting node is configured for receiving the specific packets and planning the transmitting route of the specific packet. The hardware boosting device judges the specific packets from a plurality of packets sent by the electronic device and sends the specific packets to the others electronic devices through the boosting node. The P2P network boost system achieves the network boosting function and optimizes the transmitting route through the hardware boosting device and the boosting node to improve the connecting quality and reduce the connecting cost.

The present disclosure provides a method for managing resource state information and a system for downloading a resource, which belongs to network communication technologies. According to the method, a target super node receives a file identification of at least one target resource file sent by a Tracker server (204); the target super node configures a download service of each of the at least one target resource file according to the file identification and a local resource storage state (205); and the target super node feeds back service configuration information of each of the at least one target resource file to the Tracker server (206).

A method comprises establishing a video conference between at least two instances of a media application over a relay connection; in response to determining that the video conference comprises only two instances of the media application: receiving, from a first instance of the two instances of the media application, a plurality of candidate addresses for a peer to peer (P2P) connection with a second instance of the two instances of the media application; sending, to the second instance of the media application, the plurality of candidate addresses, wherein the P2P connection is established using a particular candidate address of the plurality of candidate addresses; after the P2P is established, maintaining the relay connection in an inactive state while media data for the video conference is sent over the P2P connection until a switch-over event occurs, wherein metadata is sent over the relay connection to keep the relay connection in the inactive state.

A processor may analyze one or more microservice chains based on one or more user profiles. The processor may generate, based on the analyzing, a health status associated with the one or more microservice chains. The processor may determine, based on the health status, whether a microservice in the one or more microservice chains is unhealthy. The processor may implement, automatically, a select microservice chain.

Systems and methods of the present invention for maintaining network data distribution are provided. Network data may be distributed in such as manner as to allow a network session to weather interrupted communications between host and clients without significant loss of data. Embodiments of the present invention provide for one or more clients to serve as backup host(s) for the network session. When the other clients transmit data to the host, they may also transmit the data to one or more backup hosts if there are any indications of interrupted communication.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention can include a method for identifying an individual component from among a plurality of components in a target system as an identified component of a plurality of identified components, mapping each one of the identified components to respective ones of a target hardware node, generating intermediate code for each respective one of the target hardware nodes, generating serialization code for each respective communication interface between the target hardware nodes, transmitting the respective intermediate codes to each one of the target hardware nodes, and transmitting respective serialization codes to each communication interface of the target hardware nodes.
