The present approach relates to event monitoring and management of an instance using a generated service map, allowing monitoring of CIs (e.g., applications) and connections that are currently active in a user's specific instance. A self-monitoring solution is generated for a user (e.g., via an application) that depicts status, configuration, and errors related to the user's instance. In certain implementations, the present techniques involve applying internal knowledge of the working of a user's instance and applications to perform the self-monitoring, and determine when an alert should be generated. Further, the present techniques may involve making a determination to provide a user with a self-help solution in addition or based on the self-monitoring of the user's instance.

The present disclosure provides systems, methods and computer-readable media for maintaining network connectivity, in a LISP based network, when one or more network edge nodes lose connectivity to a LISP control plane of the network, using multicast messaging. In one example, a method includes receiving a connection request from a first endpoint to a second endpoint communicatively coupled to a second edge node; determining, by the first edge node, that a connection session to a control plane for locating the second endpoint has failed; querying one or more available edge nodes for locating the second endpoint using a multicast message; locating the second endpoint based on at least one query response received from the one or more available edge nodes, at least one query response including an identifier of the second endpoint; and establishing the connection request between the first endpoint and the second endpoint upon locating the second endpoint.

According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a cloud computing system can include a load adaptation architecture framework that performs operations for orchestrating and managing one or more services that may operate within at least one of layers 4 through 7 of the Open Systems Interconnection (“OSI”) communication model. The cloud computing system also can include a virtual resource layer. The virtual resource layer can include a virtual network function that provides, at least in part, a service. The cloud computing system also can include a hardware resource layer. The hardware resource layer can include a hardware resource that is controlled by a virtualization layer. The virtualization layer can cause the virtual network function to be instantiated on the hardware resource so that the virtual network function can be used to support the service.

The invention relates to a system for monitoring and controlling a dynamic network such as an oil, gas, or water pipeline. The system includes a plurality of sensors for measuring aspects of a state of the network with each sensor being associated with a segment of the network and connected to a virtual sensor which accumulates and pre-processes measurements from the sensors for each segment of the network. The system further includes a network topology processor for storing the topology of the network and relating sensors and virtual sensors to segments of the network and neighbouring sensors and virtual sensors in accordance with the topology and a reinforcement learning artificial neural network (ANN) based nonlinear state estimation and predictive control model which uses measurements from the sensors and virtual sensors to model the state of the network and estimate sequential states of the network.

A troubleshooting method, a device, and a readable storage medium are provided, to detect a unidirectional fault in a ring Ethernet and provide a fault recovery mechanism after the unidirectional fault occurs. In embodiments of this application, if determining that a link corresponding to a receiving unit of a first port is in a fault status, the first device performs loopback on the first port, and sends a first continuity check message to a second device via the first port. The first continuity check message carries first indication information. The first indication information indicates that a link corresponding to a receiving unit of a port that sends the first indication information is in a fault status.

A PCIe-based communications system includes a first processor and a plurality of switches, the plurality of switches include a first switch and a second switch, a first link exists between the first processor and the first switch, a second link exists between the first switch and the second switch, and a first standby link is configured between the first processor and the second switch. If the first link and the second link are not faulty, communicating, by the first processor, with the second switch through the first link and the second link; or if the first link or the second link is faulty, activating the first standby link, and communicating, by the first processor, with the second switch through the activated first standby link. Thereby stability of the communications system can be improved.

The present application relates to communications between a partner network and a wide area network (WAN). The partner network and WAN may exchange representations of the respective networks including a delay profile for the partner network. The WAN receives a network delay profile for multiple virtual network entities within the partner network. The multiple virtual network entities include at least a plurality of peering locations with the WAN. The WAN determines a path from the partner network through the WAN via a selected peering location of the plurality of peering locations with the WAN to a destination based on at least the network delay profile. The WAN deploys a policy for an agent within the partner network. The policy identifies traffic for the destination to route through the WAN via the selected peering location. The WAN routes traffic from the selected peering location to the destination along the path.
