An example operation may include a method comprising one or more of receiving a VNFC module LCM request where the LCM request specifies a VNFC instance (VNFCI), a target VNFC module, and an LCM operation to be performed, comprising retrieving a VNFCI data entry, determining a target OS installation of the VNFCI, establishing a secure connection to a target OS on a VNFCI hosting VM/container, determining a default command for the LCM operation, adapting the default command to the target OS, executing the adapted command, normalizing a response code, and sending a response to the VNFC module LCM request.

A system instantiates a unified interface for a telecommunications network including a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) architecture of an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) with multiple Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) that each have multiple component VNFs. The system instantiates a tracing tool configured to evaluate performance of the IMS in response to execution of a test case, which includes a test script to test a computing product and where the performance of the IMS is based on packets captured concurrently from VNFs. The test script causes capture and analysis of parameters extracted from packets of the VNFs. In response to completing the test case, the system reports test results indicating the performance of the IMS relative to pass/fail criteria, where the test results are presented through the unified interface.

Disclosed herein is a method of a network operator controller for managing a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT)-devices associated with an IoT device owner and connected to a wireless network. The method comprises receiving a list of IoT devices that are scheduled for a firmware update, wherein the list is indicative of respective update data and update procedure for each IoT device of the list; determining at least one network node serving a geographical area covering a respective location of each of the IoT devices of the list of devices; causing caching of the respective update data; determining an updating schedule indicative of when each IoT device is to receive its respective update data; and instructing the at least one network node to update the IoT devices with the cached respective update data according to the updating schedule and update procedure.

A failure effects estimating device includes an input unit that inputs a log and a traffic amount obtained from a communication system when an abnormality occurs, an estimating unit that estimates a failure effects amount in the communication system, on the basis of the log and the traffic amount, and an output unit that outputs the failure effects amount estimated by the estimating unit.

A state of a system and a network is reproduced upon occurrence of an error. A state of the system is continuously recorded for a time window. Furthermore, a network log for the network is generated. When a network condition indicative of an error or an internal condition indicative of an error is detected, at least a part of the recorded state of the system is stored together with a fitting portion of the network log for the network.

A vehicle data communication device mounted in a vehicle having a plurality of ECUs. The vehicle data communication device wirelessly communicates data with a center device. The vehicle data communication device comprises: a plurality of communication clients each pairing with a respective one of a plurality of distribution servers included in the center device; a communication information acquisition unit acquiring information of a communication carrier and a region where the center device is located; a client storage unit storing the plurality of communication clients each of which corresponds to the corresponding one of the plurality of distribution servers; and a client selection unit (i) selecting one of the plurality of communication clients that corresponds to the communication carrier and the region that are specified by the information and (ii) activating the selected one of the plurality of communication clients to enable data communication with the corresponding distribution server.

An example method includes recording, by a node out of a plurality of nodes, occurrence of one or more baseline node events, generating a statistical data corresponding to a recorded occurrence of the one or more baseline node events over a pre-determined period, comparing one or more subsequent node events with the statistical data, and communicating data corresponding to the one or more subsequent node events to the central control device, in response to determining that the one or more subsequent node events satisfy the event deviation threshold.
