Embodiments may relate to pruning a distributed database for a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. A node may transmit a first multicast beacon over the P2P network. The node may receive a unicast synchronization request in response to the first multicast beacon, the unicast synchronization request comprising a removed list for the distributed database. The node may compare the removed list to a locally stored node list to determine a node removal. The node may determine if there is a failure in a node information call made to a node relating to the node removal. The node may, subsequent to a determination of the failure, update the locally stored node list based on the node removal. The node may transmit a second multicast beacon comprising the node removal. Nodes receiving the second multicast beacon may update a locally stored removed list using the node removal.

Systems and methods for detecting, e.g., that a Network Function (NF) service consumer in a core network of a cellular communications system has restarted are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a NF service consumer in a core network of a cellular communications system comprises sending, to a NF service producer, a message comprising information related to a unit of the NF service consumer.

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for a microservice lifecycle operator. In use, at least one specification for a microservice is identified. Further, a lifecycle of the microservice is managed, using a lifecycle operator and the at least one specification.

A novel design of a gateway that handles traffic in and out of a network by using a datapath pipeline is provided. The datapath pipeline includes multiple stages for performing various data-plane packet-processing operations at the edge of the network. The processing stages include centralized routing stages and distributed routing stages. The processing stages can include service-providing stages such as NAT and firewall. The gateway caches the result previous packet operations and reapplies the result to subsequent packets that meet certain criteria. For packets that do not have applicable or valid result from previous packet processing operations, the gateway datapath daemon executes the pipelined packet processing stages and records a set of data from each stage of the pipeline and synthesizes those data into a cache entry for subsequent packets.

A method for controlling a beam failure recovery procedure includes: starting a beam failure detection timer after beam failure is determined; triggering a beam failure recovery BEF procedure after the beam failure is determined; monitoring whether the beam failure detection timer times out after the BRF procedure is triggered and before the BRF procedure completes; canceling or stopping the BRF procedure when the beam failure detection timer times out.

A new cybersecurity incident is registered at a security incident response platform. At a playbook generation system, details are received of the new cybersecurity incident from the security incident response platform. At least some of the details correspond to a set of features of the new cybersecurity incident. A set or subset of nearest neighbors of the new cybersecurity incident is localized in a feature space. The nearest neighbors of the new cybersecurity incident are other cybersecurity incidents having a distance from the new cybersecurity incident within the feature space that is defined by differences in features of the nearest neighbors with respect to the set of features of the new cybersecurity incident. A custom playbook is created for responding to the new cybersecurity incident having prescriptive procedures based on occurrences of prescriptive procedures previously employed in response to the nearest neighbor cybersecurity incidents.
