Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards optimizing two or more services that exchange data over a communication network to send, receive and record data across a plurality of network connections, where each network connection is between two sockets, and modifying the communication network to, at least temporarily, assign a plurality of sockets for use by the two services to exchange data between them.

Inter-service data transportation through data fragmentation and socket replication

A first hardware component identifier may be read for a first hardware component of a computing device. The reading of the first hardware component identifier for the first hardware component may be performed by a processor of the computing device reading a read-only memory of the first hardware component. A second hardware component identifier and an alert indicator over a network may be received. The second hardware component identifier and the alert indicator may correspond with the first hardware component. The first hardware component identifier may be compared with the second hardware component identifier. The computing device may be disabled when the first hardware component identifier matches the second hardware component identifier and the alert indicator indicates that the first hardware component has been reported stolen.

Disabling a mobile device that has stolen hardware components

Approaches presented herein enable recipient-actualized internal vehicle-to-vehicle honking. More specifically, an action of a first vehicle is monitored and a communication is obtained from a second vehicle. In response to the obtainment of the communication, it is determined whether the action of the first vehicle violates a rule. In the case that the action of the first vehicle violates a rule, responsive to the communication, a honk indication, perceptible to an occupant of the first vehicle, is actualized inside the first vehicle. In the case that the action of the first vehicle does not violate a rule, the communication from the second vehicle is rejected, and the honk indication is not actualized inside the first vehicle. A response can be transmitted to the second vehicle indicating if the honk indication was actualized inside the first vehicle.
