In an embodiment, a data processing system comprises: one or more processors; one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processor to perform: in a local data service, receiving a request for processing data; identifying one or more local policies applicable to the request; based, at least in part, on the one or more local policies, determining whether the request may be processed locally; in response to determining that the request may not be processed locally, transmitting the request to one or more remote brokers to cause the one or more remote brokers to determine a remote data service configured to process the request.

Network-based real-time distributed data compliance broker

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a network device, a search key from a global search initiated at a mobile device, the network device in communication with the mobile device via a proxy operable to retrieve the search key from a packet transmitted from the mobile device, performing a search at the network device for local content associated with the search key, and transmitting the local content from the network device for display on the mobile device. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.

Real-time return of local search content based on global search key

Techniques are presented to enable a network element in a network to receive a request from an application on a device, the request being encapsulated in a packet that includes a header that contains a physical layer identifier of the device to which the application does not have access. The physical layer identifier at the network element may be obtained. A response may be sent to the application on the device, the response containing at least one of the physical layer identifier of the device and location information of the device.

Enabling mobile applications to acquire a MAC address for obtaining location information

Techniques for providing a location-aware captive guest portal are described. Embodiments include receiving, from a client device, a request to access a wireless network for a physical environment, the network comprising a plurality of wireless access points configured to provide a common network. A physical location of the client device is then determined within the physical environment. Embodiments also determine a location profile corresponding to the physical location of the client device. The request to access the wireless network is then processed using a captive guest portal selected based on the determined location profile.
