Abstract: Internet bound traffic that is being routed through a particular interface within an edge router can, under some circumstances, be moved to a different interface. In some situations, one or more Internet protocol (IP) flows can be moved to a different interface within the same edge router. In other situations, one or more IP flows can be moved to a different interface within a different edge router. Decisions to move Internet traffic to a different interface can be based on information about interfaces within the various edge routers in a cloud computing provider's network, information about IP flows that are being sent through the various interfaces, peering capacity information and information about the latency associated with particular Internet paths. Some or all of the information that is used in connection with traffic steering decisions can be based on real-time measurements.

Title: One click job placement
Inventor: MCHALE STEPHEN
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2021-04-01
Abstract: A job matching algorithm improves matching a job opening profile to a job-seeker with accuracy and efficiency by breaking down the job opening profile into a data model of standard codes. Job criteria are abstracted as attributes into at least categories of qualifications and characteristics, having an associated assigned weight. Job-seeker profile's corresponding attributes in qualifications and characteristics are multi-dimensionally mapped to those in the job opening profile to calculate an overall score against a threshold score for successful matching. The job-seeker's profile and the job opening's profile may also be re-matched using an elastic analysis to model job seeker's strengths and growth potential for a same or a different job, through adjusting individual weights of each attribute of the qualifications and characteristics of one or both of the job-seeker's profile and the job opening profile to predict risks or successes for the job-seeker in taking the job opening.
