Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes identifying when a user device is in proximity to a moveable device, and determining a first amount of time the user device has been in proximity to the moveable device. The method also includes determining whether the first amount of time exceeds a threshold amount of time. When it is determined that the first amount of time exceeds the threshold amount of time, content associated with the moveable device is accessed. Finally, at least an indication of content is provided to the user device when it is determined that the first amount of time exceeds the threshold amount of time.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a network device (e.g., a master controller) may detect an event on a current path in a computer network from a local network domain to a destination address prefix of a remote domain. In response, the device may dynamically (e.g., intelligently) determine a trace target destination address within the destination address prefix, and may perform (or request performance of) a Traceroute of the current path and a selection of alternate paths in the network from the local network domain to the trace target, where the Traceroute is adapted to obtain per-hop measurements along the respective traced path. The measurements may then be stored, for example, to be used for optimal path selection, fault identification reporting, etc.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, two or more links, coupled to a first service provider (SP) that charges a price for utilization of services according to a first pricing structure, are combined to form a single virtual combined link. Each of the two or more links of the virtual combined link and one or more other links, coupled to a second SP that charges a price for utilization of services according to a second pricing structure, are monitored to obtain link data. The link data for the two of more links of the virtual combined link is merged to form link data for the virtual combined link. Data distribution among the virtual combined link and the one or more other links is optimized to distribute data among the virtual combined link and the one or more other links in a manner that minimizes cost.
