Network service version management techniques are disclosed. Service access information, which is associated with access to a network service by a network service user, may be destined for a particular version of the network service. A determination is made as to whether a different version of the network service is accessible by the network service user. If so, then a further determination is made as to whether to select the different version of the network service to process the service access information. Any inconsistency between versions of the network service, such as different information requirements, can be handled by transforming received service access information. A replay function may also be provided, to have service access information again processed by the same or a different version of a network service. This function may be useful, for example, where a version of a service is rolled back or for debugging.

An exemplary method of monitoring operational statuses of network services includes a monitoring probe that is deployed in a media service network accessing test configuration data from a control server, testing the network services based on the test configuration data, determining operational statuses of the network services based on the testing, and reporting the operational statuses of the network service to the control server. In certain examples, the test configuration data indicates a media resource locator (“MRL”) network service to be tested, and the monitoring probe accesses MRL data from the MRL network service and parses the MRL data to identify one or more additional network services to be tested. The monitoring probe tests the additional network services and reports the operational statuses of the additional network services to the control server.

A method, system and machine-readable storage device to manage network capacity are provided. In accordance with the method, simulation data is received periodically according to a metric based on data associated with a plurality of communication links interconnecting endpoints. Specially, the simulation data is received according to a periodicity adjusted selectively based on an interval of time between a current date and time and a date and time that a communication link is to be taken offline. The simulation data indicates impact of the communication link to be taken offline on a plurality of alternate communication links. Thereafter, load is moved selectively from the communication link to be taken offline to an alternate communication link of the plurality of alternate communication links based on whether the simulation data associated with the alternate communication link satisfies a predetermined criterion.

The utility model relates to a method of easily getting network information services from a mobile terminal, which adopts a structure of client / server. A user is directly interactive with a server and gets network information services via the client module binding at the terminal: when the terminal is in a standby state, the user clicks a mode switching key to switch the terminal to the given different service modes or switch the terminal among different service modes; and in a certain service mode, the user directly inputs a keyword on the terminal desktop, the client module separately inquires a client database, a server database or a server search equipment according to the current service mode and the information which is input by the user, and gets the corresponding network services and content resources, and separately chooses a related network as a service carrier according to the service mode, directly leads the user into the network services for information services. The utility model has advantages that the operation is simple, and the user can fast and easily land Internet and other networks from the terminal desktop, easily finishes the switchovers of service modes and gets corresponding services.

A system provides account statistics to a user of a network service. The system provides access, to a user, to the network service. The system determines one of an environmental attribute or context associated with the user's access of the network service. The system provides, contemporaneously with the access of the network service, a document to the user, where the document includes account statistics related to the one of the determined environmental attribute or content.

A mechanism to facilitate a private network (VPN)-as-a-service, preferably within the context of an overlay IP routing mechanism implemented within an overlay network. A network-as-a-service customer operates endpoints that are desired to be connected to one another securely and privately using the overlay IP (OIP) routing mechanism. The overlay provides delivery of packets end-to-end between overlay network appliances positioned at the endpoints. During such delivery, the appliances are configured such that the data portion of each packet has a distinct encryption context from the encryption context of the TCP / IP portion of the packet. By establishing and maintaining these distinct encryption contexts, the overlay network can decrypt and access the TCP / IP flow. This enables the overlay network provider to apply one or more TCP optimizations. At the same time, the separate encryption contexts ensure the data portion of each packet is never available in the clear at any point during transport.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing virtual network services provided to a network by a self-contained network services system. A controller application may receive a request for a change in network services provided by the self-contained network services system to the network. A new software configuration for a number of network services modules of the self-contained networks services system may be determined based on the received request, and the network services modules may be dynamically configured according to the determined new software configuration. The network and a router associated with the network services system may also be reconfigured to distribute traffic among the network services modules in accordance with the requested change in network services.

The invention discloses a device and a method to access network service by simplifying a service interface. The device comprises a transfer interpreter and the service interface. The service interface comprises an upload component, a download component and a command component. By utilizing the translator, the command and the data of a web page can be interpreted to the data of the upload component, the download component and the command component and presented on the service interface; each content of the components can be translated to a normal HTML file and delivered to the network job platform to carry out the corresponding job. The presenting of the service interface can take the place of the browser to realize and support the function of a participating style service, and the complicated network access interface is simplified, and the services supplied by different servers on the network can be accessed.

An HTTP protocol-based automatic monitoring method for electronic resource service availability includes three stages: automatic collection of service access behavior characteristics; service access behavior characteristic storage; service access behavior simulation and discrimination. The invention can be used to monitor the running state of the network service that provides electronic resource retrieval and download services through the HTTP protocol, and the application includes the monitoring of purchased document database services by colleges and universities and scientific research institutes. The present invention completes the monitoring information collection and monitoring implementation for the availability of the electronic resource service based on the HTTP protocol without manually analyzing the code of the electronic resource service web page and without obtaining the control authority of the electronic resource server. Users who use the monitoring function do not need to do any manual analysis on the search page code, and can automatically complete the collection of all information on the search Form and the real network address of the downloaded file, which has a very high level of automation.
