20210352040 | MESSAGE SENDING METHOD AND TERMINAL DEVICE - A message sending method includes: receiving a first input of a user on a target icon, where the target icon is used to indicate a target application; displaying a target interface in response to the first input, where the target interface includes at least one message, and each of the at least one message corresponds to at least one contact; receiving a second input of the user on a first message, the first message is a message in the at least one message; and sending, in response to the second input via the target application, the first message to at least one first contact corresponding to the first message. | 2021-11-11 |
20210352041 | DOMAIN-NAME ACQUISITION METHOD, WEBSITE ACCESS METHOD, AND SERVER - The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of Internet technologies, and disclose a domain-name acquisition method, a website access method, and a server. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the domain-name acquisition method includes the server receiving network request information of an https protocol of the client terminal, obtaining the digital authentication information of the client terminal based on the network request information, parsing a preset field in the digital authentication information and obtaining a domain name. The embodiments of the disclosure also provide a website access method and a server. With the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server may obtain the domain name requested by the network request information of https, and ensure normal operation of the traffic guidance mechanism in the existing technologies. | 2021-11-11 |
20210352042 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTING MEC NODE - This application relates to the field of mobile communication, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for selecting MEC node. The method includes: receiving a domain name request initiated by a terminal forwarded by the UPF, the domain name request comprising at least one of: a domain name, a destination address, or a protocol port information; obtaining a corresponding edge-application VIP from the GSLB based on the domain name request; returning a domain name response to the terminal, the domain name response comprising the edge-application VIP; receiving a service request initiated from the terminal forwarded by the UPF, a destination address of the service request being the edge-application VIP; and determining a corresponding MEC processing server according to the service request and a preset offloading policy, and offloading the service request to the corresponding MEC processing server. | 2021-11-11 |
20210352043 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATION OF SIMPLIFIED DOMAIN NAME SERVER RESOLUTION TREES - A system and method for generating and representing a consolidated resolution tree of a network are provided. The method includes receiving a target fully qualified domain name (FQDN); creating at least one tentative equivalence class (TEC) containing all the internet root domain name servers (DNS); processing the at least one TEC to determine respective consolidated edges and vertices; retrieving nameservers from domain registration records; determining whether additional TECs are to be generated for the retrieved nameserver(s); processing all new TECs to determine respective consolidated edges and vertices, when it is determined that new TECs are to be generated; and generating a resolution tree for display based on the consolidated edges and vertices. | 2021-11-11 |
20210352044 | Networking as a Service - A method performed by a computing system includes receiving a first request from a first pod being executed on the computing system, responding to the first request with an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a first port range, receiving a second request from a second pod being executed on the computing system, and responding to the second request with the Internet Protocol (IP) address and a second port range that is different than the first port range. The method further includes, with a networking service implemented within the kernel, processing network traffic between external entities and the first and second pods by updating source and destination IP addresses and ports of packets of the network traffic. | 2021-11-11 |
20210352045 | SOFTWARE DEFINED WIDE AREA NETWORK UPLINK SELECTION WITH A VIRTUAL IP ADDRESS FOR A CLOUD SERVICE - Software defined wide area network uplink selection with a virtual IP address for a cloud service can include a network controller to select from a list of cloud servers that provide the cloud service, a first preferred cloud server and map the virtual IP address of the cloud service to an IP address of the first preferred cloud server. The network controller can select a second preferred cloud server from the list of cloud servers and remap the virtual IP address of the cloud service to an IP address of the second preferred cloud server. | 2021-11-11 |
20210352046 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING DATA TRANSMISSION TO INTERNET OF THINGS DEVICES - A device may receive provisioning data identifying an application server and a user equipment. The device may provide a request for reachability data associated with the user equipment and may receive the reachability data. The device may cause a trigger for a packet and data identifying the application server to be provided to the user equipment. The device may receive, from the user equipment, the packet that includes a network address and a port identifier of a port of the user equipment. The device may provide, to a firewall associated with the application server, an identifier, the network address, and the port identifier. The device may cause, via the firewall, the reachability data, the network address, and the port identifier to be provided to the application server to enable the application server to provide data to the user equipment. | 2021-11-11 |
20210352047 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING UNENCRYPTED COMMUNICATION TUNNELS - Described embodiments provide systems and methods for using unencrypted communication tunnels. A first device intermediary between a client and a server may maintain an encrypted tunnel and an unencrypted tunnel with a second device intermediary between the client and the server. The first device may communicate, with the second device, at least one network address translation (NAT) rule via the encrypted tunnel. The first device may translate address information of a first packet, using the at least one NAT rule. The first device may send the first packet with the translated address information via the unencrypted tunnel, to the second device to reverse the translation of the address information using the at least one NAT rule. | 2021-11-11 |
