Examples relate to identifying heartbeat messages. In one example, a computing device may: obtain a plurality of messages that includes incoming messages and outgoing messages, each incoming message being sent from a server device to a client device, and each outgoing message being sent from the client device to the server device; identify candidate message pairs, each candidate message pair including one incoming message and one outgoing message; and identify a heartbeat message pair from the candidate message pairs based on at least one of: plurality of timestamps that includes i) incoming message timestamps that each correspond to one of the incoming messages, and ii) outgoing message timestamps that each correspond to one of the outgoing messages; a number of occurrences of each candidate message pair included a message log; or characteristics of data included in the incoming message and outgoing message of each candidate message pair.

In an example, a network device may receive a L3VPN packet of which an egress label edge router (LER) is the network device, and acquire an adjacency index of an adjacency entry in an adjacency table according to the destination IP address of the inner IP datagram from the L3VPN packet. The network device may acquire a PW extended index of a PW extended entry in a PW extended table and a private network layer-2 header for the inner IP datagram from an adjacency entry having the adjacency index. By using the private network layer-2 header and a public network label, a private network label and a public network layer-2 header in a PW extended entry having the PW extended index, the network device may encapsulate the inner IP datagram into a L2VPN packet and forward the L2VPN packet through a physical egress interface in the PW extended entry.

A multi-tenant media processing platform system and method. At least a first media analysis service of a plurality of media analysis services is activated for at least a portion of an active communication session of an entity in the platform system. The first activated media analysis service performs a first media analysis on media of the active communication session that is collected by the platform system. The first activated media analysis service performs the first media analysis on the collected media while the communication session is active to generate a first media analysis result. During the active communication session, at least one media analysis result is applied.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for performing communication in software-defined networking, and a communications system. The method includes: receiving a message sent by a network device, where the message includes a signaling message; determining, according to a control policy, a matching condition that matches the message, where the control policy includes a matching condition and operation information corresponding to the matching condition; processing the message according to the operation information corresponding to the matching condition that matches the message; and sending the processed message to the network device. According to the method and the apparatus for performing communication in software-defined networking, and the communications system in the present disclosure, a problem in the prior art that a control device serving as a network control center cannot communicate with a base station is resolved.

A first device may receive information that assigns a function related to network traffic associated with a content delivery network. The first device may implement the function based on the information that assigns the function. The first device may receive the network traffic from the content delivery network and may provide the network traffic to a subscriber device. The first device may provide, to a second device, information associated with the network traffic based on implementing the function. The second device may manage a subscriber session associated with the subscriber device based on the information associated with the network traffic.

A device may monitor a communication between network devices for an error associated with the communication. The device may detect the error associated with the communication between the network devices. The device may perform a comparison of an error metric and a threshold error metric. The error metric may be associated with the error. The device may determine whether the comparison indicates that the error metric satisfies the threshold error metric. The device may identify a source of the error using a loopback test based on determining whether the comparison indicates that the error metric satisfies the threshold error metric. The device may provide error source information based on identifying the source of the error. The error source information may identify the source of the error.

Systems and methods for providing interactive content for display in low-bandwidth communication environments are provided. A system can receive request for a web page including primary content. The system can determine that the end user computing device is communicating with the data processing system via a network connection corresponding to a bandwidth below a predetermined threshold. The system can, responsive to determining that the network connection corresponds to a bandwidth below the predetermined threshold, provide the web page including the primary video content and web page code invoking a low bandwidth advertisement rendering script responsive to the request for the web page. The low bandwidth advertisement rendering script can be configured to cause the client device to receive an ad rendering application and an ad content package, and then render an interactive ad corresponding to the ad content package.

There is provided a method for generating network optimizing information including the steps of identifying system devices that are comprised in a network, collecting metrics from the identified system devices, including collecting at least one metric relating to the operation, status, capability, limitations, expandability, scalability, or performance of the system devices, assessing the collected metrics according to a predetermined assessment protocol, generating a roster of metrics of interest, such metrics of interest being a group of the collected metrics that meet a selection criteria and not including other collected metrics that do not meet the selection criteria, and presenting each of the metrics of interest in a format suitable for a network operator to take corrective actions with regard to the identified non-compliant metrics or to capitalize on the identified optimization opportunities with respect to the network.

Methods for balancing storage data traffic in a system in which at least one computing device (server) coupled to a converged network accesses at least one storage device coupled (by at least one adapter) to the network, systems configured to perform such methods, and devices configured to implement such methods or for use in such systems. Typically, the system includes servers and adapters, and server agents implemented on the servers and adapter agents implemented on the adapters are configured to detect and respond to imbalances in storage and data traffic in the network, and to redirect the storage data traffic to reduce the imbalances and, thereby to improve the overall network performance (for both data communications and storage traffic). Typically, each agent operates autonomously (except in that an adapter agent may respond to a request or notification from a server agent), and no central computer or manager directs operation of the agents.

A computer readable storage medium, system and method for improving automated testing systems to include a first and second behavioral data. The first behavioral data is collected periodically and the second behavioral data is collected in real time. The receipt of the first behavioral data and a second behavioral data are followed by the receipt of a system configuration template. A test case is updated based on the first and second behavioral data, and an automated test environment is reconfigured based on the first behavioral data, second behavioral data, and the system configuration template. The test executes in the automated test environment producing a test result.
