An antimicrobial composition that includes: an antimicrobial component having at least one quaternary ammonium compound; a synthetic polymer that includes: at least one cationic monomer A, optionally, at least one anionic monomer B, and optionally, at least one non-ionic monomer C; an organic acid; and a surfactant selected from cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and combinations thereof, wherein the composition is free of non-ionic surfactants. This composition when applied to a surface provides robust long lasting disinfection.

Techniques to recursively discover services in a distributed environment may include receiving a request, including a unique client identifier, from a client device to access a home resource at a services site. The services site may identify which services site is mapped to the client domain of the unique client identifier in the request. If the services site that received the request is not the services site identified by the client domain, the services site that received the request may provide a redirect token that includes a link to the identified services site to the client device. Otherwise, the services site that received the request may provide one or more links to resources in a cluster within the services site. The links to resources may include a link to the requested home resource. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques to discover services recursively in a distributed environment

A system maintains a dormant state in the host, in which no beacons (or 'bubbles') are transmitted from the host when no application or service (collectively, 'processes') of the host is accepting unsolicited traffic via the edge traversal service. When at least one application or service begins to accept unsolicited traffic via the edge traversal service, the host enters a qualified state and begins transmitting the beacons. As each additional application or service begins to accept such traffic, the number of accepting applications and services is maintained. As applications and services terminate acceptance of such traffic, the number of accepting applications and services is decremented. When the last application or service terminates acceptance of unsolicited traffic via the edge traversal service, the host re-enters the dormant state and ceases transmission of its beacons.

Edge traversal service dormancy

A host firewall can determine and consider whether unsolicited traffic is inbound from beyond the edge of the network and allow or block such traffic based at least in part upon this characteristic. In one implementation, an edge traversal parameter can be set on a host firewall rule, which typically includes other parameters such as port, protocol, etc. If the unsolicited traffic received via an edge traversal interface matches a host firewall rule that has the edge traversal criterion, then the firewall does not block the traffic. On the other hand, if the unsolicited traffic received via an edge traversal interface fails to satisfy the edge traversal criterion on any firewall rule, then the firewall blocks the traffic.
