The present invention relates to IoT devices existing in a deployed ecosystem. The various computers in the deployed ecosystem are able to respond to requests from a device directly associated with it in a particular hierarchy, or it may seek a response to the request from a high order logic/data source (parent). The logic/data source parent may then repeat the understanding process to either provide the necessary response to the logic/data source child who then replies to the device or it will again ask a parent logic/data sources for the appropriate response. This architecture allows for a single device to make one request to a single known source and potentially get a response back from the entire ecosystem of distributed servers.

A method includes maintaining, by a controller device that manages a plurality of network devices, a data structure and receiving, by the controller device, an indication of a stateful intent. The method further includes generating, by the controller device, a logical packet based on the stateful intent and determining, by the controller device, a dependent intent of the data structure based on the logical packet. The method further includes determining that the dependent intent conflicts with the stateful intent. The method further includes, in response to determining that the dependent intent conflicts with the stateful intent, determining, by the controller device, a resolution that resolves the conflict between the dependent intent and the stateful intent based on the dependent intent and the stateful intent and outputting, by the controller device, an indication of the resolution.

The present disclosure provides a proxy communication method, a proxy communication device and a network device. The proxy communication method includes transmitting a management request to an NRF entity, and the management request includes at least one of a registration request, a profile update request or a de-registration request.

Provided are a method for managing network slice connection, a terminal and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for managing network slice connection includes: obtaining connection request information transmitted by a terminal application in a case where the terminal application initiates a network slice connection request; performing an authentication process on the terminal application initiating the network slice connection request; and in response to the terminal application passing the authentication process, enabling the terminal application to connect to a network slice according to the connection request information.

The present application relates to the field of network communication technologies, and provides a packet processing method and device, an advertisement method and device, a bridge node, a source apparatus, a packet processing system, and a computer-readable storage medium. The packet processing method includes: receiving a time sensitive networking (TSN) service packet; querying, according to a packet header of the TSN service packet, a mapping table of service stream IDs and TSN-profiles, where the mapping table of service stream IDs and TSN-profiles is established according to advertisement information of a source apparatus; and processing the TSN service packet according to a result of the querying on the mapping table of service stream IDs and TSN-profiles.

Systems and methods for managing network resources are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving first information relating to network traffic parameters and receiving second information relating to one or more contextual events having an effect on the network traffic parameters. The first information and the second information and be correlated. And one or more network resources can be allocated based on the correlation of the first information and the second information.

An asynchronous state machine replication solution in a system of replicas includes executing multiple instances of a consensus protocol, referred to as leader-based views (LBVs) in each replica, where each replica is a leader participant in one of the LBV instances. Each replica drives a decision based on the consensus being reached among the LBV instances, rather than relying the expiration of timers and view changes to drive progress.

The disclosure relates to systems, methods and computer-readable media for dynamically provisioning resources within a compute environment. The method aspect of the disclosure comprises A method of dynamically provisioning resources within a compute environment, the method comprises analyzing a queue of jobs to determine an availability of compute resources for each job, determining an availability of a scheduler of the compute environment to satisfy all service level agreements (SLAs) and target service levels within a current configuration of the compute resources, determining possible resource provisioning changes to improve SLA fulfillment, determining a cost of provisioning; and if provisioning changes improve overall SLA delivery, then re-provisioning at least one compute resource.
