Abstract: A deployment service at a remote provider network receives topology data for a local network and generates data filters for edge devices of the local network based on the topology data. The deployment service then sends the data filters to a hub device connected to the local network. The hub device deploys the data filters to respective edge devices of the local network. The data filters may be configured to discard a sufficient portion of collected data to prevent routers from being overloaded by network traffic. The data filters may also be configured to discard a sufficient portion of collected data to prevent the edge devices from consuming too much power in order to preserve energy cost or battery life.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for manufacturing a cyclic urea adduct of an ethyleneamine compound, the ethyleneamine compound having a linear -NH-CH2-CH2-NH- group, the process comprising the steps of - in an absorption step contacting a liquid medium comprising an ethyleneamine compound having a linear -NH-CH2-CH2-NH- group with a CO2-containing gas stream at a pressure of 1 -20 bara, resulting in the formation of a liquid medium into which CO2 has been absorbed, - bringing the liquid medium to cyclic urea formation conditions, and in an urea formation step forming cyclic urea adduct of the ethyleneamine compound, urea formation conditions including a temperature of at least 120°C, wherein the total pressure at the end of the urea formation step is at most 20 bara, wherein the temperature in the absorption step is lower than the temperature in the urea formation step. It has been found that the process according to the invention makes it possible to obtain cyclic urea adducts in an efficient manner in the absence of metal-containing catalysts and to perform the process under relatively mild conditions, in particular relatively low pressure. More specifically, by separating the CO2 absorption step from the urea formation step, the CO2 absorption step can be carried out at relatively low temperatures and pressures. And because the CO2 is already present in the system at the beginning of the urea formation step, the pressure in the urea formation step does not need to be high.
