A method for providing cloud network reachability analysis includes receiving a reachability query requesting a reachability status of a target including a packet header associated with a data packet. The packet header includes a source IP address and a destination IP address. The method also includes generating one or more simulated forwarding paths for the data packet based on the packet header using a data plane model. Each simulated forwarding path includes corresponding network configuration information. The method includes determining the reachability status of the target based on the one or more simulated forwarding paths and providing the determined reachability status and the one or more simulated forwarding paths to a user device associated with the reachability query which causes the user device to present the network configuration information for each simulated forwarding path.

A system and method is disclosed that includes receiving connectivity information from a plurality of client devices connect to a network associated with a plurality of base stations; storing the connectivity information in one or more memories; determining a first location of a first device that desires to connect to a base station associated with the network; identifying a set of candidate bands and channels for connection to the base station based on the first location and the connectivity information; and transmitting the set of candidate bands and channels to the first device.

System and method for improved band-channel scanning and network switching

A device and method for profile switching based on location and wireless network quality are provided. A client device determines relevant locations for a user of the client device based on a variety of factors. After determining that a location is of particular relevance to the user, the client device will proceed to collect wireless network parameters for each available wireless network at each of the relevant locations for the user. The client device then determines a quality score for each wireless network at each relevant location and proceeds to utilize the quality score to make wireless network profile switching decisions as the client device travels between the relevant locations.

Profile switching powered by location

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method, includes receiving, at a computer system, a message for delivery to a client computing device; determining, by the computer system, a unique identifier for the message; generating an identified message that includes the message and at least a portion of the unique identifier; and sending, by the computer system and to the client computing device, the identified message over a first communication channel and a second communication channel, wherein the first communication channel is different from the second communication channel.

Messaging over multiple channels

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes: receiving, at a computer system, a multimedia message service (MMS) message for delivery to a client computing device; storing, by the computer system, the MMS message; generating, by the computer system, a traditional short message service (SMS) message including a notification that the MMS message is available for download from the computer system; transmitting, by the computer system, the SMS message to the client computing device; receiving, after transmitting the SMS message, a request from the client computing device to download the MMS message; and sending, by the computer system, the MMS message to the client computing device.

A computer-implemented method for preloading resources of a web page is provided. The method includes receiving a user request to navigate to a web page and issuing a request for a root page corresponding to the requested web page, wherein the root page identifies actual resources requested for loading the requested web page. The method also includes determining, based on a prior history of loading the requested web page, anticipated resources that are likely to be requested when loading the requested web page, and requesting the anticipated resources from a server associated with the anticipated resources at least until a time that the root page corresponding to the requested web page is received to determine the actual resources requested for loading the requested web page. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Preloading resources of a web page

An electronic mobile device that supports a subscriber identification module (SIM) profile scans a base station cell that is associated with a different SIM profile in response to an inability to connect with a wireless network associated with the electronic mobile device's SIM profile. The electronic mobile device obtains cell information from the base station cell associated with the different SIM profile in response to the scanning. The cell information may include country associated data such as Mobile Country Code (MCC) or a System Identification (SID) data. Based on the obtained cell information, the electronic mobile device determines a current geographic location. The electronic mobile device may then adjust operation of a service, such as an application, of the electronic mobile device based on the determined country. Corresponding methods are also described.

A method and system for providing page visibility information are provided herein. Aspects of this disclosure provide an interface by which a browser may make the visibility state of a particular page available to the page itself. The browser may track the visibility state of the page as it changes and store the state in a variable associated with the page. Code executing within the page may query this variable to determine the visibility state and take appropriate action. The browser may provide an application programming interface (API) to allow the page to request the visibility state.
