A portable remote support device comprises a processing unit, a network communication unit configured to communicate with a cloud service, a video capturing unit, at least one video input port and at least one output port. The processing unit is configured to communicate video signals received via the video input port to the cloud service via the network communication unit, and to emulate pointing device signals and/or keyboard signals received via the network communication unit on said at least one output port. The portable remote support device is configured to obtain unique secure tokens.

Examples of the present disclosure can include a method. The method may include (1) identifying, by a virtual infrastructure manager (“VIM”), a virtual network function (“VNF”) descriptor from information obtained from the integrated network, (2) selectively generating at least one container on the physical network based on the VNF descriptor, (3) determining, by the VIM, an integrated network requirement based on state information associated with the integrated network, (4) providing, by the VIM, to a container management platform, the integrated network requirement, and (5) causing a VNF to be generated in the container to fulfill the integrated network requirement. Corresponding systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods are also disclosed.

A method for operating a communication system, in which multiple communication units exchange data via a communication medium, the method including the following steps: shifting the communication system at least temporarily into a diagnostic operating mode, in which data exchanged by multiple, in particular, by all of the communication units via the communication medium are available on at least one of the multiple communication units and/or on at least one component of the communication medium.

The invention relates to a method for operating a connectivity orchestration entity configured to orchestrate a connectivity of a plurality of devices to a cellular network, wherein each of the plurality of devices is configured to exchange data with a corresponding application via the cellular network, the method comprising, for each of the plurality of devices: determining Quality of Service, QoS, requirements needed for the data exchange of the device with the corresponding application, determining a network address with which the devices will be addressed in the cellular network, transmitting a connectivity request to the cellular network to set up a data packet connection through the cellular network to the corresponding application.

A method for creating resources and a corresponding registration method, server, client device, and computer readable storage medium. The method for creating resources includes: receiving a registration request; determining a registration type corresponding to the registration request; creating a resource corresponding to the registration type on the basis of the registration type.

A system and method for providing on-demand edge compute. The system may include an orchestrator that provides a UI and that controls an abstraction layer for implementing a workflow for providing on-demand edge compute. The abstraction layer may include a server configuration orchestration (SCO) system (e.g., a Metal-as-a-Service (MaaS) system) and API that may provide an interface between the orchestrator and the SCO. The API may enable the orchestrator to communicate with the SCO for receiving requests that enable the SCO to integrate with existing compute resources to perform various compute provisioning tasks (e.g., to build and provision a server instance). The various tasks, when executed, may provide on-demand edge compute service to users. The SCO API may further enable the ECS orchestrator to receive information from the SCO (e.g., compute resource information, status messages).

A network performance measurement method includes a first network device that sends a first active measurement protocol packet to a second network device, where the first active measurement protocol packet includes measurement indication information, where the measurement indication information indicates a measurement device on a forward path to measure network performance. The forward path is a forwarding path of the first active measurement protocol packet, and the first network device and the second network device are two ends of the forward path, and the measurement device on the forward path includes at least one intermediate device on the forward path. The intermediate device measures network performance of the forward path
