Aspects of the disclosure relate to admission control of a communication session in a network. The admission control can be implemented by a network node at the boundary of the network or a subsystem thereof. In one aspect, the admission control can be implemented during a predetermined period and can be based at least on an admission criterion, which can be specific to an end-point device, e.g., a target device or an origination device. The admission criterion can be configurable and, in certain implementations, it can be obtained from historical performance associated with establishment of communication session. Such historical performance can be assessed within a period of a configurable span.

A cloud data center tenant-level outbound rate limiting method includes: starting a timer, receiving and generating statistics of outbound packets of tenants in a current period, obtaining local traffic rate information of the tenants based on all the outbound packets of the tenants in the current period, and generating local bandwidth demand frames of the tenants based on the local traffic rate information of the tenants; when a timing of the timer reaches the end of the current period, sending the local bandwidth demand frames of the tenants to a switch; receiving a global bandwidth demand frame sent by the switch, and computing bandwidth budgets of the tenants based on the local traffic rate information of the tenants and the global bandwidth demand frames of the tenants; modifying rate limiting parameters, and limiting the rate of the outbound packets of the tenants in a next period.

A signaling transmission method and device, a signaling reception method and device, a storage medium and a terminal are provided. The signaling transmission method includes: if an advanced setting for transmitting Real Time Application (RTA) packets is supported, configuring an indication signaling, wherein the indication signaling is used to instruct a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) station to transmit a packet based on packet duration limitation and/or transmission opportunity duration limitation; and transmitting the indication signaling. Embodiments of the present disclosure may shorten latency to meet communication requirements of RTA.

In some embodiments, the instant invention provides for a computer-implemented method that includes the following steps: administering, by a first specifically programed computer system of a communications exchange, an electronic delivery of a first electronic distribution from a first sender to a first recipient, where the mediating includes: receiving from a first source of a plurality of sources, a first electronic distribution of the first sender, receiving from the first sender, a plurality of sender attributes of the first sender and a plurality of sender rules of the first sender that define how electronic distributions of the first sender to be delivered; receiving the plurality of recipient attributes of the first recipient and the plurality of recipient rules of the first recipient; matching the first electronic distribution of first sender to the first recipient; transmitting, the first electronic distribution of first sender to first channel of the first recipient.

Systems and methods for managing network resources are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving first information relating to network traffic parameters and receiving second information relating to one or more contextual events having an effect on the network traffic parameters. The first information and the second information and be correlated. And one or more network resources can be allocated based on the correlation of the first information and the second information.

Techniques for tenant-driven dynamic resource allocation in network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI). In one example, an orchestration system is operated by a data center provider for a data center and that orchestration system comprises processing circuitry coupled to a memory; logic stored in the memory and configured for execution by the processing circuitry, wherein the logic is operative to: compute an aggregate bandwidth for a plurality of flows associated with a tenant of the data center provider and processed by a virtual network function, assigned to the tenant, executing on a server of the data center; and modify, based on the aggregate bandwidth, an allocation of compute resources of the server executing the virtual network function.

A method in which an enterprise switches its devices to various federated network slices across operators based on cost, time, quality, and/or availability parameters defined in flexible rules managed by the enterprise. The method includes obtaining, by a controller of an enterprise, one or more parameters of a device served by a network slice of a core network. The method further includes, based on the one or more parameters of the device and one or more rules, determining, by the controller, whether a triggering event associated with a slice reselection occurred and based on the triggering event and the one or more rules, selecting, by the controller, a federated network slice from among a plurality of network slices provided by a plurality of core networks. The method further includes the controller causing the device to switch from the network slice to the federated network slice.

The application discloses a packet transmission method, an apparatus, and a network device. In an embodiment, a first network device obtains identification information corresponding to a service flow, and reserves a forwarding resource based on the identification information. The forwarding resource is used by the first network device to forward the service flow to a second network device. The first network device further sends a packet including the identification information to the second network device, and the second network device reserves a corresponding forwarding resource based on the identification information in the packet. Network devices perform resource reservation hop by hop by sending the packet including the identification information, and do not need to perform resource reservation based on a transmission path that is pre-calculated and planned, so that load of the network device or a controller is reduced, and resource reservation flexibility is improved.

Systems and methods for scheduling a network-based media processing (NBMP) workflow based on a scheme mode are provided. The scheme mode may be obtained by a NBMP workflow manager based on received information that indicates the scheme mode. The NBMP workflow manager may schedule tasks of the NBMP workflow to be executed to process media in accordance with the scheme mode indicated in the information. The scheme mode may be a by order mode, a by duration mode, a by event mode, or a by timeslot mode.
