    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: In one embodiment, a first request may be received from a first endpoint to access a cloud-based conference platform. The first request can include a first access token. Based at least on the first request, a first certificate may be provided to the first endpoint, wherein the first certificate may not include an identity of the first endpoint. A second request may be received from a second endpoint to access the cloud-based conference platform. The second request can include a second access token. Based at least on the second request, a second certificate can be provided to the second endpoint, wherein the second certificate may not include an identity of the second endpoint. Data can be routed within the cloud-based conference platform between the first endpoint and second endpoint based at least upon the first certificate and the second certificate.

    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for mitigating a distributed denial of service attack. A method includes, at a network security device, such as a firewall, monitoring network traffic, flowing through the firewall, destined for a network device, determining whether the network traffic is below a predetermined amount, while the network traffic is below the predetermined amount, sending to the network device a plurality of probes, receiving responses from the network device in response to the probes, and setting one or more thresholds for subsequent traffic destined for the network device based on the responses received from the network device.
