    Abstract: In one embodiment, a domain name system (DNS) service receives a DNS request sent by a client for a particular destination. The DNS service determines that a connection between the client and the particular destination will not support use of the Quick User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Internet Connections (QUIC) protocol. The DNS service generates a DNS response to the DNS request that includes an indication that the connection between the client and the particular destination will not support use of the QUIC protocol within an Extensions Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS) field of the DNS response. The DNS service sends the DNS response, to cause an intermediary between the client and the particular destination to explicitly reject a QUIC protocol connection attempted by the client with the particular destination.

    Abstract: A web conferencing operator can enable participants to share multimedia content in real-time despite one or more of the participants operating from behind a middlebox via network address translation (NAT) traversal protocols and tools, such as STUN, TURN, and/or ICE. In NAT traversal, participants share a transport addresses that the participants can use to establish a joint media session. However, connectivity checks during NAT traversal can expose a media distribution device hosted by the web conferencing operator to various vulnerabilities, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The web conferencing operator can minimize the effects of a DDoS attack during the connectivity checks at scale and without significant performance degradation by configuring the middlebox to validate incoming requests for the connectivity checks without persistent signaling between the web conference operator and the middlebox.

    Abstract: A Trusted Routing Point (TROP) generates a signaling message that includes an authorization token used to authorize a firewall to open a pinhole. The signaling message contains a first indicator that indicates whether a data field in the signaling message represents a source address of a media flow. The signaling message also includes a second indicator that indicates whether the firewall should derive the source address of the media flow from the data field. The authorization token is generated using a one-way hash function over information that may be included in the signaling message, including the first indicator and the second indicator.

    Abstract: A call is conducted with a first device of a user, the first device lacking captions capability. A second device of the user is identified for receiving captions for the call from among a plurality of second devices of the user based on one or more from a group of distances of the second devices to a location of the first device, display quality of the second devices, status of the second devices, and user preferences for the second devices. An identified second device is joined to the call to receive the captions during the call conducted with the first device.

    Abstract: A method comprises: at a computer device configured with user applications grouped in multiple virtual desktops hosted on and displayed by the computer device: establishing an online meeting with remote computer devices over a network; responsive to user input, selecting one of the multiple virtual desktops to be a shared virtual desktop, such that all other ones of the multiple virtual desktops become unshared virtual desktops; sharing, with the remote computer devices, the shared virtual desktop, including first user applications of the user applications that are grouped in the shared virtual desktop; and not sharing, with the remote computer devices, any of the unshared virtual desktops and second user applications of the user applications that are grouped in the unshared virtual desktops.

    Abstract: Modern day user applications leverages new communication technologies such as WebRTC, WebEx, and Jabber allow devices to connect and exchange media content including audio streams, video streams, and data stream/channels. The present disclosure describes mechanisms for a Port Control Protocol (PCP) server to provide feedback to PCP clients to enforce certain policies on the transport of such media content for a network. A policy may include a traffic handling policy for enforcing differentiated quality of service characteristics for different types of media streams. Another policy may include a security policy ensuring a data files being transmitted over a data channel from one endpoint travels to a security application via a relay element before the packets reaches another endpoint. The mechanisms are transparent to the endpoints, and advantageously preserve the user experience for these user applications.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for federating an enterprise and a SaaS provider across one or more network slices of a network service provider. A SaaS provided by a SaaS provider for provisioning to an enterprise can be recognized. One or more network slices within a network of a network service provider between the enterprise and the SaaS provider can be identified. The one or more network slices can be used to provision the SaaS to the enterprise. As follows, the SaaS provider can be federated with the enterprise across one or more network service providers, including the network service provider. Specifically, the SaaS provider can be federated with the enterprise by uniquely associating the one or more network slices provided by the network service provider with the SaaS provisioned by the SaaS provider to the enterprise.
