The disclosure includes a system and method for allocating a workflow for an application between a server and a client based on user context in usage of the application, and customizing user views based on the execution of the workflow. A customization module receives user input, identifies a type of an application based on the user input, determines a workflow for the application, partitions the workflow to a first portion of the workflow executed on a client and a second portion of the workflow executed on a server, and generates one or more user interfaces corresponding to the execution of the first portion of the workflow, wherein the execution of the first portion of the workflow on the client is based on the execution of the second portion of the workflow on the server.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for flow control. In one aspect, there is provided a method, wherein the method may include monitoring, by an external flow controller, a workflow at a first cloud application to determine whether at least one condition is satisfied to extend the workflow to a second cloud application external to the first cloud application; diverting, by the external flow controller, when the at least one condition is satisfied; handling, by the external flow controller, a request to divert the workflow to the second cloud application by at least formatting the request in accordance with configuration information at the external flow controller; sending, by the external flow controller, the workflow to the second cloud application; receiving, by the external flow controller, a result to incorporate into the workflow at the first cloud application; and/or proceeding with the workflow at the first cloud application.

Network load balancing may be performed in a cluster by deploying multicasting or replication. In particular, one or more multicast trees may be deployed within the cluster. Packets may be multicast towards the hosts over the multicast tree(s) to reach the hosts in a pool of hosts associated with a given Virtual Internet Protocol (“VIP”) address. Packets may be filtered before the packets reach the hosts to ensure that each host only receives packets for the session the host is handling. The filtering may be performed at various levels of the multicast tree. Replication may be deployed instead of multicasting to realize the same network load balancing.

A data communication system determines Software Defined Network (SDN) Quality-of-Service (QoS). SDN applications transfer SDN controller Application Programming Interface (API) calls and receive SDN controller API responses. The SDN applications measure Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and transfer SDN application KPI data. An SDN controller receives the controller API calls, transfers the controller API responses, transfers SDN data machine API calls, and receives SDN data machine API responses. The SDN controller measures KPIs and transfer SDN controller KPI data. SDN data machines receive the SDN data machine API calls, perform SDN actions on user data responsive to the data machine API calls, and transfer the data machine API responses. The SDN data machines measure KPIs and transfer SDN data machine KPI data. An SDN QoS server processes the SDN KPI data to generate an SDN QoS score.

An access control unit includes packet buffers provided for each of users, a packet identification unit that stores received packets in a corresponding packet buffer, a scheduling unit that decides a packet buffer to be the object of transfer, a transfer control unit that, in a case that updating of reference data can be performed at an application processing circuit, and also the packet buffer decided by the scheduling unit is different from the current packet buffer that is the object of transfer, updates to reference data corresponding to the packet buffer decided by the scheduling unit, and a buffer selection unit that connects the packet buffers decided to be the object of transfer to the packet transfer unit when updating of reference data is completed.

A signaling transmission method and device, a signaling reception method and device, a storage medium and a terminal are provided. The signaling transmission method includes: if an advanced setting for transmitting Real Time Application (RTA) packets is supported, configuring an indication signaling, wherein the indication signaling is used to instruct a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) station to transmit a packet based on packet duration limitation and/or transmission opportunity duration limitation; and transmitting the indication signaling. Embodiments of the present disclosure may shorten latency to meet communication requirements of RTA.

A service management system communicates via wide area network with gateway devices located at respective user premises. The service management system remotely manages delivery of application services, which can be voice controlled, by a gateway, e.g. by selectively activating/deactivating service logic modules in the gateway. The service management system also may selectively provide secure communications and exchange of information among gateway devices and among associated endpoint devices. An exemplary service management system includes a router connected to the network and one or more computer platforms, for implementing management functions. Examples of the functions include a connection manager for controlling system communications with the gateway devices, an authentication manager for authenticating each gateway device and controlling the connection manager and a subscription manager for managing applications services and/or features offered by the gateway devices. A service manager, controlled by the subscription manager, distributes service specific configuration data to authenticated gateway devices.

Systems and methods are described for optimizing resource utilization in a communications network while also optimizing subscriber engagement with media content over the communications network. Requested content objects can be identified as delayable objects that can be queued for opportunistically delayed communication to both requesting and non-requesting subscribers. Queued delayed content objects are scored with an eye toward optimizing both subscriber engagement and utilization of opportunistically available communications link resources. For example, a storage manager calculates a likelihood that each subscriber will engage with the content if it is opportunistically delivered, and a scheduler calculates a priority order in which to queue each requested delayable content object. Content objects can then be multicast to the subscribers in priority order and with associated information that can be used by the subscribers to determine whether to locally store the content objects as they are opportunistically received.

A system and method for sharing resources between client devices in a virtual computing environment. A method is disclosed that includes receiving a request from a first client device for a list of available resources that are locally connected to other client devices and that are unavailable to the first client device via an enterprise service within the virtual computing environment; providing the list of available resources to the first client device; receiving a selection of a resource included within the list of available resources from the first client device; providing a push notification to a second client device connected to the selected resource to establish a connection with the selected resource; and providing, to the first client device, access to the selected resource via the established connection.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network application programming interface (“API”), and, more particularly, API to provide network metrics and network resource control to users. In some embodiments, a computing system might receive customer network telemetry data from a first network via a gateway API, might receive service provider network telemetry data from a second network(s) via a network API, might compile the customer network telemetry data and the service provider network telemetry data, might receive a request from a user to access information regarding network services associated with the user, might filter the compiled customer network telemetry data and the compiled service provider network telemetry data to isolate first telemetry data and second telemetry data, respectively, might provide the user with access to at least one of the first telemetry data or the second telemetry data, and might provide the user with options to control network resources.
