    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for identification of streaming activity and source for cached media on streaming devices. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes at least one memory, instructions on the apparatus, and at least one processor to execute the instructions to: store, in a content identification information library, first content identification information of a first media presentation, wherein the first media presentation is a streamed media presentation; inspect a network connection of a media streaming device for network activity associated with a second media presentation; determine, in response to an absence of the network activity, the second media presentation is a cached media presentation; infer a streaming source of the second media presentation by matching second content identification information of the second media presentation with the first content identification information of the first media presentation; and generate a second media credit for the second media presentation that includes an inferred streaming source identifier.

    摘要: A data sending method, where the method includes receiving, by a forwarding device using a first flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group and in multiple timeslots included in a first timeslot set, multiple first encoded data blocks from a physical coding sublayer (PCS), determining, by the forwarding device according to the timeslots included in the first timeslot set and the first FlexE group, a second FlexE group and multiple timeslots included in a second timeslot set, and sending, by the forwarding device, the first encoded data blocks using the second FlexE group and in the timeslots included in the second timeslot set. The forwarding device does not need to process the first encoded data blocks in a conventional layer 2 or layer 3 forwarding mode. Therefore, a processing delay can be reduced, and a transmission delay can be reduced.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus for mobile routing for non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) systems using virtual routing areas (VRAs) are disclosed. A disclosed method comprises generating a plurality of routing graphs for each of a plurality of VRAs. Each of the routing graphs is for a different period of time, and comprises a gateway and satellites that are within view of each other and of the gateway during the period of time associated with the routing graph. The method further comprises generating at least one time-sliced graph for each of the routing graphs, where each of the time-sliced graphs shows connectivity between at least some of the satellites, which are on the routing graph associated with the time-sliced graph, with each other. Further, the method comprises, during each of the periods of the time, establishing communications between the satellites according to each of the time-sliced graphs for the period of time.

    摘要: A relay device transmits a frame received from any of a plurality of external devices that are connected via a plurality of communication lines. The external device is connected to one of the communication lines and to another one of the communication lines by searching a relay information table for specifying a relay destination of the frame. In the relay information table, information for identifying a frame type is stored in association with relay destination identifying information for identifying a communication line serving as a relay destination of a frame. The relay information table is partitioned into a plurality of sub-tables in accordance with priority based on the type identifying information or the relay destination identifying information. The relay device searches the sub-tables in descending order of priority using the type identifying information contained in the frame received from the external device as a search key specifying the relay destination.

    摘要: A communications adapter may be in operative communication with the controller of the appliance via a connector, cable, or wire configured to send and/or receive electrical signals, data, and/or power. Through the connector, the communications adapter may be configured to retrieve various types of appliance data (both real-time and static data) from the appliance controller. The communications adapter may then wirelessly communicate with a user device to relay the appliance data and receive user inputs. In this manner, the communications adapter provides a way to retrofit legacy appliances with wireless communication capabilities, which in turn enables the user to remotely monitor and control the appliances.
