According to one configuration, a system includes provisioning hardware and a wireless station that supports communications with one or more communication devices. The wireless station receives a first notification from the provisioning system. The first notification indicating that the wireless station is assigned to a first allocation management resource. The first allocation management resource operable to allocate wireless resources for use by the wireless station to support wireless communications. The wireless station communicates with the first allocation management resource to receive allocation information indicating the wireless resources allocated for use by the wireless station. In response to receiving a second notification that the wireless station has been reassigned to a second allocation management resource, the wireless station communicates with the second allocation management resource instead of the first allocation management resource to receive the allocation information.

Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying a set of internal edges on a representation of a network that satisfy a set of demands on the network. The disclosed systems and methods perform a multi-step process of selecting the internal edges. In a first step, an initial set of internal edges can be selected using a clique graph (or in another suitable manner). In a second step, a second set of internal edges can be selected using stream graph(s) (or in another suitable manner). The second set of internal edges can be used when determining network paths that satisfy the demands. When the representation of the network has a cut of two, the disclosed systems and methods can identify a set of internal edges providing a degree of protection against link failure.

The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for detecting outages in a cloud environment. Internal web agents installed at corresponding network segments of a first cloud platform and external web agents installed at an external second cloud platform are configured to perform network calls between themselves and the other web agents. Data from the internal web agents is automatically collected to generate structured data defining network connectivity status corresponding to the network segments of the first cloud platform based on the performed network calls between the internal and external web agents. In response to evaluating the structured data, a health status of network connectivity of the first cloud platform is determined. The health status can be provided to platform services provided by the first cloud platform and/or applications running on the first cloud platform to support managing of lifecycles of entities running on the first cloud platform.

Various systems and methods are provided in which a replication process is initiated between a primary site and a recovery site, each having plurality of gateway appliances. Replication loads are evaluated for each given gateway appliance of the plurality of gateway appliances. If a determination is made that at least one gateway appliance of the plurality of gateway appliances is not overloaded, the plurality of gateway appliances are sorted based on replication loads respectively associated with each gateway appliance, and a determination is made as to whether a relative difference in replication loads between a gateway appliance having a highest replication load and a gateway appliance having a lowest replication load exceeds a difference threshold to determine whether the replication workloads between the gateway appliances should be rebalanced.

A network relay device of a gateway redundancy system is provided with: a storage unit which stores, as an internal status, a redundancy status indicating, for each subscriber terminal or for each subscriber terminal group, whether a subject device is operating as an active system or a backup system, and a subscriber status indicating a list of usage address information for each subscriber terminal; and a management unit which monitors communications between a set of subscriber terminals and another network relay device in which a redundant configuration is adopted, records in the storage unit, as a part of the subscriber status, the usage address information provided to the subscriber terminal by the other network relay device, and, with a prescribed timing, successively notifies/advertises the successively recorded internal status to a notification destination.

Presented herein are techniques performed in a network comprising a plurality of network nodes each configured to apply one or more service functions to traffic that passes the respective network nodes in a service path. At a network node, an indication is received of a failure or degradation of one or more service functions or applications applied to traffic at the network node. Data descriptive of the failure or degradation is generated. A previous service hop network node at which a service function or application was applied to traffic in the service path is determined. The data descriptive of the failure or degradation is communicated to the previous service hop network node.

An apparatus, system, and method for balancing traffic loads on beam outroutes that contain both multicast and unicast traffic. An outroute is designated for supplying at least multicast traffic within a beam of a satellite communication system. Terminals interested in receiving the multicast traffic are moved to the designated outroute. Traffic loads on all outroutes within the beam, including the designated outroute, are compared to determine if variations in the traffic loads exceed a predetermined threshold. A load balancing routine is performed to redistribute the traffic loads on all outroutes, while excluding any terminal that is actively receiving the multicast traffic from the load balancing routine.
