A method for configuring performance measurement indication information and a related device. The method includes: a control node determines performance measurement indication information and sends a first advertisement packet in the communication network based on the BGP, where the first advertisement packet carries the performance measurement indication information, so that a plurality of forwarding nodes configure the performance measurement indication information on the plurality of forwarding nodes. In this way, when a data flow on which performance measurement is to be performed is transmitted between a plurality of different ASs, each forwarding node in the different ASs may obtain the performance measurement indication information from the first advertisement packet.

A system for constructing and storing procedures for troubleshooting computer networks. A user can design and add troubleshooting steps, via a GUI, to define the procedure including annotations. Each step is configured to take an action on the network. The order of the steps can be re-arranged via the GUI. The procedure can be stored and re-executed by another user.

A method, an apparatus, and a system for sending a control request based on a key value configuration. The method includes generating, by a client controller, a control request, wherein having a plurality of configuration parameters, wherein the plurality of configuration parameters comprise a flexible key value, a control object name, and a universally unique identifier (UUID), where the flexible key value identifies a requested control object, and the flexible key value is determined using at least one of the control object name or the UUID, and sending, by the client controller, the control request to a server controller, where the control request indicates to the server controller to configure the control object.

The invention relates to a method for monitoring an industrial ethernet protocol type network. The method comprises the steps of collecting data from the network, using a monitoring device connected to the network, and generating a data file containing the collected data and/or data derived thereof. Further, the method comprises the steps of transmitting the data file to a server, and identifying, using the server, a cause profile associated with the data file.

A method and system for increasing the collection of network traffic data in a network based on the occurrence of predetermined criteria. A network appliance manages network traffic in the network and passes data traffic on the network. Network traffic data is collected based on the data traffic passing through the network appliance at a normal level. It is determined whether the network traffic data indicates an abnormal condition. The collection of network traffic data is increased through the network traffic appliance when an abnormal condition is detected. The network traffic data from the increased collection is stored in a memory device.

A network services provider delivers bandwidth services to users in relation to a dynamic limit based on an average user consumption, rather than a fixed amount per subscriber. An average user consumption is employed to compute a consumption limit from relative portions of a user community substantially exceed the average, typically defined as “heavy users.” Usage levels below the consumption limit have an increased availability up to the consumption limit. The consumption limit may vary from a total capacity of the service infrastructure, which changes, generally in an increasing manner, as additional resources are added to the network. The consumption limits may be defined over different service intervals, such as daily, weekly or monthly, and for different groups of users depending on network layout.

In a method for configuring and managing a Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) network, a network packet is regularly captured and parameters are extracted. The parameters are submitted to a distributed learning model for matching an application according to the parameters, and a network requirement of the application is obtained. Such obtained network requirements are uploaded to a centralized network configuration (CNC) through a message transmission protocol, and a configuration of the network requirement is calculated through the CNC. The configuration calculated by the CNC is received and delivered to a TSN switch, causing the TSN switch to dynamically update the network configuration accordingly.

A remote operation system includes a management server and a management client that manage an image forming device, wherein the management server manages a task that is an operation for the image forming device by the management client, the task includes a designated start time and date that is a designated time and date to start the task, and the management client regularly acquires the task from the management server and schedules the task in accordance with the designated start time and date included in the task.
