Systems, methods and computer-readable storage media are provided for provisioning network inter-connections and extensions to computing infrastructure. In one embodiment, a system can receive a request from a client to establish a network connection between a private network and a remote network, the request including a selection of a virtual network residing at the private network; establish a transit connection between the virtual network and an exchange port established in association with the private network; establish a first network connection between the exchange port and an intermediary cross connect network; establish a second network connection between the intermediary cross connect network and the remote network; and extend a virtual local area network (VLAN) connected to the virtual network of the client at the private network to the remote network via the network connection, the network connection comprising the first network connection and the second network connection.

Server cluster communication across the public internet using a single secure User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is facilitated by an intermediary registry server. The intermediary registry server enables servers within a cluster to identify and securely communicate with peer servers in the cluster across disparate locations and through firewalls Using an external address registry shared to each member of a server cluster peer group, individual servers can establish a direct secure channel using a single UDP tunnel.

An apparatus for controlling a vehicle and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes a connectivity control unit (CCU) to internetwork with a server through a wireless network to provide a connected car service and an integrated body unit (IBU) to perform low power communication with another vehicle to control the CCU.

Techniques for utilizing a cloud service to compute an end-to-end SLA-aware path using dynamic software-defined cloud interconnect (SDCI) tunnels between a user device and an access point-of-presence (POP) node and inter-POP tunnels of the SDCI. The cloud service may include a performance aware path instantiation (PAPI) component including a POP database for storing performance metrics associated with the POPs of the SDCI, an enterprise policy database for storing user specific policies, and/or a path computation component. The path computation component may compute the path, based on the user specific policies, performance metrics associated with the POP nodes, and/or real-time contextual data associated with the user device and/or destination device. The path may include a first tunnel between the user device and the most optimal access POP node of the SDCI and a second tunnel between the access POP node, through the internal POP nodes, and to the destination device.

The disclosure concerns a method and communication system for user path (UP) reselection. The method includes sending, from a network entity, a request to influence UP path reselection, the request indicating an application function (AF) location to be included in the UP path reselection. The method further includes generating, by a policy control function (PCF), a policy associated with the request and providing, by the PCF, the policy to a session management function (SMF). The method additionally includes performing, by the SMF, the UP path reselection for a session according to the policy and acknowledging, by the PCF, the request to the network entity.

A replay device includes: multiple transceiver units that transmits and receives a communication frame, each transceiver unit including a register in which at least data indicating a set-up content relating to an operation of a respective transceiver unit is written; a register access unit that is connected with each transceiver unit through an interface; and a control unit that transmits a control message to the register access unit. The control message includes access target information for designating one or more access target transceiver units, and access content information indicating an access content to a register of each access target transceiver unit. The register access unit sets the one or more target transceiver units designated by the access target information, and perform an access to the register of each access target transceiver unit according to the access content.
