Coordinating processing of audio queries is provided. A system receives a query. The system provides the query to a first digital assistant component and a second digital assistant component for processing. The system receives a first response to the query from the first digital assistant component, and a second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The first digital assistant component can be authorized to access a database the second digital assistant component is prohibited from accessing. The system determines, based on a ranking decision function, to select the second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The system provides, responsive to the selection, the second response from the second digital assistant to a computing device.

Coordination of overlapping processing of audio queries

Systems and methods for enabling voice-based interactions with electronic devices can include a data processing system maintaining a plurality of device action data sets and a respective identifier for each device action data set. The data processing system can receive, from an electronic device, an audio signal representing a voice query and an identifier. The data processing system can identify, using the identifier, a device action data set. The data processing system can identify a device action from device action data set based on content of the audio signal. The data processing system can then identify, from the device action dataset, a command associated with the device action and send the command to the for execution device for execution.

Systems and methods for voice-based initiation of custom device actions

A network system that reduces the computational resources to centrally-control network nodes in a border gateway protocol (BGP) network. More particularly, the systems and methods describe the control of a plurality of individual network nodes by a centralized controller, and the use of a route control server (RCS), which is connected to the centralized controller, or OpenFlow Controller (OFC). By treating the plurality of individual network nodes as a single combined network node, the route control server is able communicate using a single BGP speaker, and hence, reduce the computational resources from that required to run an individual BGP speaker for each individual network node.

Systems and methods for reducing the computational resources for centralized control in a network

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for semi-centralized routing. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method receives a network protocol packet at a router adapted for routing data packets to one or more additional routers. The network protocol packet conforms to a routing protocol that provides distributed routing computation. The method also sends the network protocol packet, through a controller, to a selected one of a plurality of route control servers. The method also processes the network control packet at the selected route control server to generate a routing computation result that conforms to the routing protocol. The method also generates routing information based on the routing computation. The routing information conforms to a control protocol that provides centralized routing computation. The method also sends the routing information to the router for routing of data packets based on the control protocol.

Semi-centralized routing

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for semi-centralized routing. One of the methods includes receiving one or more routes and determining that a received route identifies a new set of paths different from each routing path group in a maintained set of routing path groups. A new routing path group is created that corresponds to the new set of paths. The new routing path group is assigned an identifier of the routing path group. The new routing path group is converted to a corresponding new flow path group. A flow path group that was converted from the routing path group is replaced on a network device with the converted new flow path group.
