One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for evaluating connections between nodes in a mesh network. The technique includes identifying a plurality of potential parent nodes for a first node included in the mesh network; computing, for each potential parent node, one or more accumulated message success rates associated with transmitting messages from the first node to a target destination within the mesh network via the potential parent node and with receiving messages from the target destination via the potential parent node; and selecting, from the plurality of potential parent nodes and based on the accumulated message success rates, a parent node for the first node.

An architecture for a load-balanced groups of multi-stage manycore processors shared dynamically among a set of software applications, with capabilities for destination task defined intra-application prioritization of inter-task communications (ITC), for architecture-based ITC performance isolation between the applications, as well as for prioritizing application task instances for execution on cores of manycore processors based at least in part on which of the task instances have available for them the input data, such as ITC data, that they need for executing.

A multi-function device is disclosed. A first port may be used to communicate with a host processor. A second port may be used to communicate with a storage device. A third port may be used to communicate with a computational storage unit. Circuit may be used to route a message from the host processor to at least one of the storage device or the computational storage unit.

A method, system and computer program product for backup assignment of a mobile electronics device is disclosed. In response to one or more device assignment requests received by a controller apparatus when a server is operating in an off-line mode, one or more device assignment records are created within the controller apparatus, and which indicate assignment of the at least one mobile electronics device to a respective one or more users. When the server is operating in an off-line mode such that communication between the controller apparatus and the server is off-line, the one or more device assignment records, in relation to the at least one mobile electronics device, are stored in the controller apparatus. In response to the server re-entering the on-line mode, the server is updated with the one or more device assignment records.

A method for processing NF discovery requests using prioritized lists of preferred locations includes maintaining an NF profiles database including NF profiles of producer NFs registered to provide service to other NFs and a preferred locality attribute mappings database including mappings between preferred locality attributes and prioritized lists of preferred locations. The method includes receiving, from an NF, an NF discovery request including query parameters and a preferred locality attribute. The method further includes accessing the preferred locality attribute mappings database using the preferred locality attribute and obtaining a prioritized list of preferred locations corresponding to the preferred locality attribute, accessing the NF profiles database using the query parameters and identifying NF profiles of producer NFs capable of providing a service indicated by the query parameters, and prioritizing the NF profiles according to the prioritized list of preferred locations. An NF discovery response is generated and transmitted to the NF.

Methods, systems, and devices are provided herein for a mechanism to identify link down reasons. As described herein, a first port of a first peer device may be determined to have unexpectedly changed to a port down state. Subsequently, a topology file may be referenced to identify a second port of a second peer device with which the first peer device is intended to have a link if not for the first port being in a port down state. In some examples, port settings of the first port may be compared with port settings of the second port. If a port setting for the first port mismatches an associated port setting for the second port, an alert message may be transmitted to a network administrator indicating this mismatch as a possible reason for the first port being in the port down state.

A system and a method for performing programmable analytics on network data are described. A data layer constructs flow behavior information based on information present within headers of data packets flowing across one or more network devices configured in a computer network. An inline heuristics layer performs one or more inline heuristic operations on the flow behavior information to obtain aggregate statistical information. An integrated analytics layer performs one or more analytical operations on the flow behavior information to obtain network insights. A presentation layer filters and plots information obtained from the data layer, the inline heuristics layer, and the integrated analytics layer, based on a user input.

A computer system receives user data from a computing device of a user and determines that the user will utilize a transport service to arrive at a destination location at a specified time. The computer system automatically triggers, without user input, a service request for the user by monitoring transport provider availability within a proximity of a current location of the user prior to the specified time, and determines a service request time for the user based on the transport provider availability. The computer system then generates the service request for the scheduled user event based on the service request time.

Techniques for monitoring enterprise networks with endpoint agents are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for monitoring enterprise networks with endpoint agents includes deploying a plurality of endpoint agents to a plurality of endpoint devices; collecting test results from each of the plurality of endpoint agents, wherein the test results are based on tests executed on each of the plurality of endpoint devices for monitoring network activity; and generating a graphical visualization of an application delivery state for one or more application delivery layers based on the test results, generating an alert based on the test results, or generating a report based on the test results.
