A technique for centralized and differentiated content and application delivery system allows content providers to directly control the delivery of content based on regional and temporal preferences, client identity and content priority. A scalable system is provided in an extensible framework for edge services, employing a combination of a flexible profile definition language and an open edge server architecture in order to add new and unforeseen services on demand. In one or more edge servers content providers are allocated dedicated resources, which are not affected by the demand or the delivery characteristics of other content providers. Each content provider can differentiate different local delivery resources within its global allocation. Since the per-site resources are guaranteed, intra-site differentiation can be guaranteed. Administrative resources are provided to dynamically adjust service policies of the edge servers.

A service proxy is used to automatically supply the message-format parameters required for incoming message communications to a web-service provider from client applications through a message-conversion system that the web-service provider previously sets up. For outgoing messages from the web service to client businesses, the service proxy automatically supplies the required message-format parameters according to service policies that client businesses set up previously through the web-service provider's web-site interface. The format of client application messages is predefined for a web service policy, and a configuration interface is established for context variables and message format variables. This service profile is recalled in order to apply the proper message format parameters for a web service request.

The present invention is directed to a system and method for managing domain policy for interconnected communication networks. The present invention governs communication service policy for interconnection among remote communication services to allow users to communicate with other users in remote domains. Exemplary embodiments allow the local communication services to guarantee certain service aspects even when remote domains are involved.

A local service enabler can choose other service enablers in remote domains based on specific criteria that meets the local service enabler's settings and user preferences. The local service enabler can protect itself from connection to other service enablers that may contradict its local settings. Thus, the present invention can manage communication services across remote domains, while each domain can continue to be managed locally according to the needs and preferences of the local users.

A method for grouping Human Interface Devices (HIDs) into a multi-head display is provided. The HIDs are identified as either “primary” or “secondaries”. A computational-service policy module is consulted when a new HID connects to the network. If the HID is identified as a secondary, the module consults all servers within a group to see if the primary presently has an active session connected to any of the servers.

The associated session may then provide multi-head outout to the secondary. If the primary is being controlled by another server in the group, the secondary re-attaches to the server that is hosting the primary.

A content addressable memory with masks for individual locations may be implemented to quickly determines the processor group to which received data is to be assigned to. Due to the features of the present invention, an ISN may be able to serve a large number of subscribers efficiently. The ISN may be used at the edge of an access network.

Some embodiments provide novel inline switches that distribute data messages from source compute nodes (SCNs) to different groups of destination service compute nodes (DSCNs). In some embodiments, the inline switches are deployed in the source compute nodes datapaths (e.g., egress datapath). The inline switches in some embodiments are service switches that (1) receive data messages from the SCNs, (2) identify service nodes in a service-node cluster for processing the data messages based on service policies that the switches implement, and (3) use tunnels to send the received data messages to their identified service nodes. Alternatively, or conjunctively, the inline service switches of some embodiments (1) identify service-nodes cluster for processing the data messages based on service policies that the switches implement, and (2) use tunnels to send the received data messages to the identified service-node clusters. The service-node clusters can perform the same service or can perform different services in some embodiments. This tunnel-based approach for distributing data messages to service nodes / clusters is advantageous for seamlessly implementing in a datacenter a cloud-based XaaS model (where XaaS stands for X as a service, and X stands for anything), in which any number of services are provided by service providers in the cloud.
