Embodiments of this application disclose a network slice management method and device, and relate to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: receiving, by a first management unit, a network slice management request, where the network slice management request carries instance information or indication information of a transport network manager; and sending, by the first management unit, a transmission management request to a corresponding transport network manager based on the instance information of the transport network manager, where the transmission management request is used to deploy a transmission network. The embodiments of this application provide a method for determining a transport network manager to create a corresponding transmission network.

Technologies for dynamic accelerator selection include a compute sled. The compute sled includes a network interface controller to communicate with a remote accelerator of an accelerator sled over a network, where the network interface controller includes a local accelerator and a compute engine. The compute engine is to obtain network telemetry data indicative of a level of bandwidth saturation of the network. The compute engine is also to determine whether to accelerate a function managed by the compute sled. The compute engine is further to determine, in response to a determination to accelerate the function, whether to offload the function to the remote accelerator of the accelerator sled based on the telemetry data. Also the compute engine is to assign, in response a determination not to offload the function to the remote accelerator, the function to the local accelerator of the network interface controller.

A computational instance may includes a set of computing devices and a configuration management database (CMDB), wherein the CMDB contains a representation of a service deployed on a managed network, wherein the representation of the service includes metadata, service group membership, and an entry point, and wherein the computational instance is configured to: receive an instruction to export the representation of the service to a file; copy, to a metadata object in the file, the metadata; determine a hierarchical subset of the service groups that are related to the service; write, to one or more service group objects in the file, the hierarchical subset of the service groups; determine, from a list of entry points of the managed network, that the entry point is of the service; and write, to an entry point object in the file, the entry point.

A method and system for managing execution of a local craft terminal application on a local computer system comprising accessing one of the plurality of remote network elements and obtaining therefrom a launcher application program configured to manage execution of the local craft terminal application on the local computer system, launching the launcher application program on the local computer system and determining, using the launcher application program, whether the local computer system contains an appropriate copy of the local craft terminal application, and if the local computer system does not contain the appropriate copy of the local craft terminal application, obtaining the appropriate copy of the local craft terminal application from the first one of the plurality of remote network elements.

A data management method, apparatus, device, a computer-readable storage medium, and system are provided. The method is applied to a first network device, the first network device determines target invalid data existing in a second network device, the first network device obtains a first RPC, and the first RPC carries information about target invalid data that needs to be deleted. Then, the first network device sends the first RPC to the second network device, where the first RPC is used to indicate the second network device to delete the target invalid data. In this application, residual data is automatically identified, and the residual data is cleared, to automatically delete the residual data in batches, thereby saving device resources and improving an operation and maintenance management effect.

Presented herein are embodiments for quickly identifying and recommending key performance indicators (KPIs) for network devices based on the type of network device and/or role of the device. The type or configuration of the network device may be obtained and compared to the capabilities of the network device. Operational or performance information of the network device, represented by strings, may be obtained based on the configuration information. Operational information that is not relevant to the configuration of the network device may be filtered out. The remaining operational information may be ranked as KPIs based on a relevance of the operational information with respect to the configuration information.

A method of processing media content in Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Network Based Media Processing (NBMP) includes obtaining a plurality of tasks for processing the media content, providing an interface between an NBMP workflow manager and a cloud manager by providing an NBMP Link application program interface (API), which links the plurality of tasks together, identifying an amount of network resources to be used for processing the media content, by using the NBMP Link API, and processing the media content in accordance with the identified amount of network resources.

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for securely provisioning login credentials to an electronic device on a network, e.g., a consumer premises device (CPE) device, such as, among other devices, a modem. The login credential may be used, for example, for securely provisioning and configuring a CPE device.

An information handling system may include at least one processor; and a non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one processor. The information handling system may be configured to: receive a command associated with an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) protocol; package the command for transmission according to a Redfish protocol; and transmit the packaged command to a Redfish interface of a management controller, wherein the management controller is configured to unpackage and execute the command.

Systems, methods, and related technologies for entity classification and attribute designation are described. Device property data associated with a device coupled to a network is accessed. One or more features for the device are identified based on the device property data. A first value for an attribute of the device is determined based on a set of rules applied to the one or more features of the device. A first belief value for the attribute is determined based on the set of rules applied to the one or more features of the device. A final value for the attribute of the device is selected based at least in part on the first belief value for the first value of the attribute.
