A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.

A method for to manage concurrent access to a shared resource in a distributed computing environment. A reference counter counts is incremented for every use of an object subtype in a session and decremented for every release of an object subtype in a session. A session counter is incremented upon the first instance of fetching an object type into a session cache and decremented upon having no instances of the object type in use in the session. When both the reference counter and the session counter are zero, the object type may be removed from the cache.

In general, the disclosure relates to a method for forwarding a packet through a multi-tier network by establishing a routing protocol session with network devices in the multi-tier network, obtaining routing protocol information from network devices of the multi-tier network, determining a group using the routing protocol information, generating an ordered group listing using network device identifiers (NDIs) for the network devices in the group, and programming a network device hardware of a network device of the set of network devices of the multi-tier network using the ordered group listing. The group includes a set of the network devices of the multi-tier network.

There is provided a communication apparatus that enables acquisition of data to be sent after a Secure Shell (SSH) connection between a wireless unit and a baseband unit is established. A communication apparatus (10) according to the present disclosure includes a communication unit (11) that establishes a first Secure Shell (SSH) connection with a wireless apparatus (20) that performs wireless communication with a communication terminal (40), and establishes a second SSH connection with a control apparatus (30) that performs a baseband process related to a signal used in the wireless communication, and a data recording unit (12) that records data of a management plane received from the wireless apparatus (20) through the first SSH connection or the data of the management plane received from the control apparatus (30) through the second SSH connection.

A content delivery network may provide content items to requesting devices using a popularity-based distribution hierarchy. A central analysis system may determine popularity data for a content item stored in a first caching device. The central analysis system may determine that a change in the popularity data is beyond a threshold value. The central analysis system may then transmit an instruction to move the content item from the first caching device to a second caching device in a different tier of caching devices than the first caching device. The central analysis system may update a content index to indicate that the content item has been moved to the second caching device. A user device may be redirected to request the content item directly from the second caching device.
