A resource publishing method includes that: a gateway receives a first resource link of a resource to be published from a server; the gateway determines, based on an obtained identifier of the server and the first resource link of the resource to be published, a second resource link of the resource to be published; and the gateway sends the second resource link of the resource to be published to a cloud platform, where the second resource link of the resource to be published is used by the cloud platform to publish the resource to be published on a resource directory.

Some examples relate to controlling network traffic pertaining to a domain name based on a Domain Name System-Internet Protocol address (DNS-IP) mapping, An example includes receiving, in a cloud computing system, a local DNS-IP mapping for a domain name from respective Access Points (APs) in a virtual local area network (VLAN) along with geographical information of respective APs; generating a global DNS-IP mapping database comprising the local DNS-IP mapping for the domain name received from respective APs in the VLAN along with geographical information of respective APs, in the cloud computing system; and determining appropriate APs to distribute the global DNS-IP mapping, based on location information of respective APs.

A service management system communicates via wide area network with gateway devices located at respective user premises. The service management system remotely manages delivery of application services, which can be voice controlled, by a gateway, e.g. by selectively activating/deactivating service logic modules in the gateway. The service management system also may selectively provide secure communications and exchange of information among gateway devices and among associated endpoint devices. An exemplary service management system includes a router connected to the network and one or more computer platforms, for implementing management functions. Examples of the functions include a connection manager for controlling system communications with the gateway devices, an authentication manager for authenticating each gateway device and controlling the connection manager and a subscription manager for managing applications services and/or features offered by the gateway devices. A service manager, controlled by the subscription manager, distributes service specific configuration data to authenticated gateway devices.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to methods and systems for improving security of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) calls in a Software Defined Network (SDN). In one embodiment a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) gateway intercepts a SIP registration message from an initiating host to an accepting host for a SIP communication session. The SDP gateway further perform Single Packet Authentication (SPA) to determine if the initiating host is approved. In response to the initiating host being approved, the SDP gateway, adds the initiating host to a whitelist of the SDN. The SDP gateway also instructs the accepting host to accept a communication request from the initiating host for the SIP communication session.

A method executed by a UE communicatively connected to a first 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network utilizing an advanced Radio Access Technology (RAT) is provided. The methods includes the following steps: receiving a message from the first 3GPP network, which indicates that the first 3GPP network supports IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) voice over Packet Switched (PS) sessions; and providing an indication that fallback of the UE to a second 3GPP network utilizing a legacy RAT is disabled to the first 3GPP network in response to the receiving of the message.

An example method for a programmable infrastructure gateway for enabling hybrid cloud services in a network environment is provided and includes receiving an instruction from a hybrid cloud application executing in a private cloud, interpreting the instruction according to a hybrid cloud application programming interface, and executing the interpreted instruction in a public cloud using a cloud adapter. The method is generally executed in the infrastructure gateway including a programmable integration framework allowing generation of various cloud adapters using a cloud adapter software development kit, the cloud adapter being generated and programmed to be compatible with a specific public cloud platform of the public cloud. In specific embodiments, identical copies of the infrastructure gateway can be provided to different cloud service providers who manage disparate public cloud platforms; each copy of the infrastructure gateway can be programmed differently to generate corresponding cloud adapters compatible with the respective public cloud platforms.

Devices, methods, user equipment (UE), network core devices, gateway devices, evolved node B (eNB), and storage media for UE provisioning are described. In one embodiment, a UE is configured for codec bitrate adaptation via an interface configured to receive a bandwidth indication and a codec awareness indication from an eNB. The UE process the bandwidth indication and identifies, based on the codec awareness indication, a first codec from a plurality of codecs supported by the UE. The UE then configures with the eNB using data encoded with the first codec. This data may, for example, be Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) data or other such media data. Selection of the codec or associated codec information may be further based on the codec awareness indication.
