A digital data communications network that supports efficient, scalable routing of data and use of network resources by combining a recursive division of the network into hierarchical sub-networks with repeating parameterized general purpose link communication protocols and an addressing methodology that reflects the physical structure of the underlying network hardware. The sub-division of the network enhances security by reducing the amount of the network visible to an attack and by insulating the network hardware itself from attack. The fixed bandwidth range at each sub-network level allows quality of service to be assured and controlled. The routing of data is aided by a topological addressing scheme that allows data packets to be forwarded towards their destination based on only local knowledge of the network structure, with automatic support for mobility and multicasting. The repeating structures in the network greatly simplify network management and reduce the effort to engineer new network capabilities.

Provided herein are systems and methods for providing insights or metrics in connection with provisioning applications and/or desktop sessions to end-users. Network devices (e.g., appliances, intermediary devices, gateways, proxy devices or middle-boxes) can gather insights such as network-level statistics. Additional insights (e.g., metadata and metrics) associated with virtual applications and virtual desktops can be gathered to provide administrators with comprehensive end-to-end real-time and/or historical reports of performance and end-user experience (UX) insights. Insights relating to an application or desktop session can be used to determine and/or improve the overall health of the infrastructure of the session, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, the applications (e.g., remote desktop application) being delivered using the infrastructure, and/or the corresponding user experience.

Disclosed are various examples for determining an IT topology for an enterprise IT organization based on operational goals of the enterprise organization. Visual models that are designed to facilitate responses associated with the current IT topology and operational goals of an enterprise IT organization are displayed to an entity of the enterprise. The entity can provide enterprise profile data to an IT solutions system by interacting with user interfaces. The IT solutions system can generate the IT topology prescription and roadmap for implementing the IT topology prescription based on the operational goals identified in the responses. Statements of work can be dynamically generated that outline details and terms of implementing the IT topology prescription for the enterprise IT organization.

The present disclosure relates to the generation of analytics in a mobile network. The disclosure is concerned with tracing and exposing data information, which is used for generating analytics outputs, in order to enable examination of the analytics outputs. The disclosure thus proposes network entities and methods, which support the analytics generation and examination thereof, respectively. For instance, a first network entity for analytics generation is configured to receive, from a second network entity, a request for providing analytics information associated with at least one generated analytics output. Further, it is configured to provide the analytics information to the second network entity, wherein the analytics information comprises data information used to generate the at least one generated analytics output, wherein the data information comprises reference to data or data itself.

A communication method, apparatus, and system for improving service experience when a terminal accesses an application. A network management network element receives, from a data analytics network element, first information of an application accessed by a terminal within a first area. The first information includes a quantity of access times and/or service experience for the application. The network management network element determines, based on the first information, to create, within the first area, a first user plane function network element serving the application. The network management network element sends a first message to an application function network element. The first message indicates that the network management network element triggers creation, within the first area, of the first user plane function network element serving the application.
