    Abstract: A device can receive, from a user device, a request associated with a data service that includes one or more service identifiers. The device can determine whether the data service is toll-free by providing, to a server, a validation request that includes the one or more service identifiers. The device can receive a response from the server that indicates that the user device is eligible to use the data service toll-free. The device can obtain an internet protocol (IP) address that is reserved for the data service by using a service identifier to search a data structure. The device can provide the IP address to the user device to allow the user device to use the IP address for a data session. Traffic flow for the data session can be received by another server that uses the IP address to update an account of an entity sponsoring the data service.

    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a global identification service is provided. The service includes a selection of an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address to an end device. The service encrypts a unique identifier of the end device with an encryption key to generate an IPv6 address. The service verifies whether the IPv6 address is an IPv6 address allocated to or owned by a service provider. When the IPv6 address is an allocated or owned IPv6 address, the IPv6 address is assigned to the end device. When the IPv6 address is not an allocated or owned IPv6 address, the service selects another encryption key until a suitable IPv6 address is generated. Subsequent to an assignment of the IPv6 address, a network uses the IPv6 address as a globally unique identifier for the end device.

    Abstract: An authenticating device assigns an application identifier and an application secret value to a customer application, receives a first resource authorization request from a first instance of multiple replicated instances of a customer application, where the first instance is installed in a first machine, and receives a second resource authorization request from a second instance of the multiple replicated instances of the customer application, where the second instance is installed in a second machine. The authenticating device generates, responsive to the first resource authorization request, a first token using a first network address associated with the first machine, the application identifier and the application secret value, and returns, to the first instance of the customer application, the generated first token for use in requesting access to a resource server.

    Abstract: A device may generate one or more objects for one or more transactions. The one or more transactions may include a sequence of one or more events. The one or more objects may include one or more states associated with the sequence of one or more events. The device may receive information associated with the one or more transactions. The information may be used to update the one or more states of the one or more objects. The device may detect one or more alerts based on the one of more objects. The one or more alerts may be associated with the one or more states of the one or more objects. The device may determine an alarm status based on the one or more alerts and may provide information to cause an action to be performed.

    Abstract: A method is performed in a service provider network. The method includes a network device receiving registration records for multiple machine-type communication (MTC) devices, each of the registration records including a connection profile that indicates a level of delay tolerance for connections. The method also includes receiving, by a fixed-location accepter device and via wireless signals, connection requests from the multiple MTC devices, wherein each of the connection requests includes a connection profile indicator. The method further includes the network device receiving an indication of inadequate capacity to accept all the connection requests from the multiple MTC devices; and directing, in response to receiving the indication, a mobile accepter device into a geographic area wherein the mobile accepter device is configured to accept at least a portion of the connection requests, via wireless signals, the portion of the connection requests including connection profile indicators that indicate a tolerance for delay.

    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provides to receive a packet from an Internet of Things (IoT) device, wherein the packet carries IoT data; determine a classification of the IoT device from which the first packet is received, in response to a receipt of the packet, wherein the classification indicates a type of IoT device; select standard data types assigned to the classification of the IoT device, in response to a determination of the classification of the IoT device; determine whether the IoT data includes all of the standard data types based on the standard data types selected; convert the IoT data into an IoT standard format in response to a determination that the IoT data includes all of the standard data types; generate another packet that includes the IoT data in the IoT standard format in response to a conversion of the IoT data; and transmit the other packet to a network device.

    Abstract: A system may be configured to multiplex traffic, on a per-application basis, over multiple networks. The traffic may be multiplexed based on weights, associated with each application, and key performance indicators (“KPIs”) associated with the networks. The system may output a first proportion of traffic, associated with the application, via a first network, and may output a second proportion of traffic, associated the application, via the second network.

    Abstract: A client device receives streaming first media from a content delivery network (CDN). The client device executes a media player to play the streaming first media, and receives a first input from a user of the client device that marks a first censoring start time and a first censoring stop time associated with a first portion of the first media that the user wishes to censor. The client device further receives a second input from the user that includes a reason that justifies censoring the first portion of the first media, and stores the first censoring start time and the first censoring stop time in association with data corresponding to the second input from the user in a cut profile for the first media. The client device sends the cut profile for the first media to a content management server in the CDN.

    Abstract: A network device receives a request for a selected video from a first user at a client device, and determines similarities between a second user associated with the first user and other parents in a collaborative community, wherein the similarities are determined based on the second user's, and the other users', prior censoring of videos. The network device obtains all exclusions applied by the second user, and the other users, in the collaborative community to the selected video, wherein each of the exclusions comprises a portion of the selected video identified for censoring by one of the users in the collaborative community. The network device further selectively applies each of the determined exclusions to the selected video based on the determined similarities, and sends the selected video, with the selectively applied exclusions, to the requesting first user at the client device.
