A multi-channel message exchange system selects a service provider that is best suited to deliver each individual message for customers of the message exchange system. The message exchange system selects a service provider based on customer criteria provided by the customer, data structures provided by the service providers, quality scores describing performance of the service providers, channels used by the service providers to deliver messages, or any suitable combination thereof. The message exchange system may select the service provider that provides the best combination of quality of service, value, and delivery channel given the customer's specific needs. The data structures may geographic jurisdictions in which the service provider provides message delivery, channels through which the service provider is willing to deliver messages, or any suitable combination thereof.

A control system includes: a server monitoring part that monitors a public server accessible via lines of at least two Internet service providers; and a router, wherein the server monitoring part notifies load information indicating a load state of the public server, and the router includes: a selection part that selects an Internet service provider according to the load information notified by the server monitoring part; and a control part that determines a delivery route in such a way that a packet is delivered through a line of the Internet service provider selected by the selection part.

A data distribution device for stably distributing specific data such as video data is provided. Video distribution device as a data distribution device includes video distribution unit as a specific data distribution unit, video distribution determining unit as a specific data distribution determining unit, and routing setting unit. When video distribution determining unit determines that video distribution unit is distributing video data as the specific data, and when the default route information has been acquired from a second communication device connected to a second network, routing setting unit holds the default route information without changing the default route.

A communication control device: transmits, from an application to a wireless communication device used in a vehicle, a start request of data communication between the application and an external device; acquire a communication condition related to the data communication between the application and the external device from the application; determines whether the data communication satisfying the communication condition is possible; sets a communication path from the application to the external device and sets a source port number to the request source when the data communication is determined to be possible; notifies the application of path information including the source port number; and performs the data communication between the application and the external device using the source port number.

A packet sending method and a related device are disclosed. The method includes: A network device obtains a first packet, where an internet protocol extension header of the first packet includes a first identifier, and the first identifier indicates a service requirement corresponding to the first packet. The network device determines, based on the first identifier and a second identifier, path indication information corresponding to the first packet, where a destination address of the first packet includes the second identifier, and the path indication information herein includes one or more of a network slice identifier and a segment identifier list. The network device updates the first packet based on the path indication information to obtain a second packet, and sends the second packet.

Dynamic slicing technology can be performed to assign network resources for various robotic repairing subtasks having different priorities, while satisfying various real-time and high throughput requirements. In some cases, M/M/1 queuing theory is applied so as to efficiently improve the utilization of network resources, reduce queuing latency and propagation latency, and balance the load among different network slicing, so as to perform robotic repairing operations.
