A method and apparatus for monitoring network performance in near real-time by making measurements on packets received at an intermediate node in wireless communication network. The solution is useful for monitoring wireless network performance of any packetized wireless communication network that connects a client and application server, and particularly for any application running over TCP/IP protocol. A method is disclosed for measuring packet loss rate of a packet-based communication session between a Network Source (NS) and a User Equipment (UE) device at an intermediate node, in the downlink direction and the uplink direction. The measured loss is indicative of the loss in the portion of wireless network between the intermediate node and the UE. The measured packet loss rate is compared with service guarantees for the wireless network, and if the service guarantees are not being met, then resolution mechanisms can be implemented.

A method for detecting anomalies in one or more network performance metrics stream for one or more monitored object comprising using a discrete window on the stream to extract a motif from said stream for a first of said network performance metric for a first of said monitored object. Maintaining an abnormal and a normal cluster center of historical time series for said first network performance metric for said first monitored object. Classifying said motif based on a distance between said new time series and said abnormal and said normal cluster center. Determining whether an anomaly for said motif occurred based on said distance and a predetermined decision boundary.

Systems and methods of providing a V2X communications are generally described. A geographically-limited, operator-independent mapping table is used that maps between groups of V2X applications each associated with a different application category and a different RAT preferred for the V2X application category. Each grouping is based on fulfillment of one or more KPIs for the associated V2X application category. Multiple RATs are prioritized if able to fulfill the KPIs. The mapping table is modified based on the RATs supported by the V2X UE. Carrier aggregation is used when simultaneous transmission on different RATs is desired.

A technique for analyzing Quality of Experience, QoE, of a delay critical robotic application in a cloud robotics system is disclosed, the robotic application involving use of a cloud based service by a robot, the service being provided to the robot from a cloud using a connection over a mobile communication network. A method implementation of the technique comprises triggering (S202) determining whether a QoE measure associated with the robotic application exceeds a threshold to assess whether QoE degradation is present, and, when it is determined that QoE degradation is present, triggering (S204) identifying a root cause for the QoE degradation based on one or more performance indicators observed within the mobile communication network and associated with the connection.

A network device includes: a network interface configured to receive target data, a first processor configured to determine feature information of the target data, a second processor configured to perform preprocessing on the feature information, and a third processor configured to perform inference on a preprocessing result. In addition, the second processor is further configured to perform policy analysis based on an inference result.

A network performance detection method and apparatus, and a related network device are disclosed. According to the network performance detection method, a first IFIT header includes reporting manner indication information indicating that reporting is performed by an egress node device. After obtaining a first IFIT detection packet including the first IFIT header, a first network device can provide and process a second IFIT detection packet, where the second IFIT detection packet is obtained by adding a first device identifier and a first data flow detection result to the first IFIT detection packet. In other words, a detection result obtained by detecting a first data flow is reported only by the egress node device, and all node devices on a transmission link of the first data flow each includes the detection result in a same IFIT detection packet and sends the same IFIT detection packet to the egress node device.

An infrastructure device includes a transceiver, programmed to communicate with a plurality of vehicles, wherein at least one of the vehicles is located within a distance defined from a location of the infrastructure device, and at least one of the vehicles is located outside the distance from the location of the infrastructure device; and a controller, programmed to measure a channel busy ratio (CBR) for communication with the plurality of vehicles, measure a package error rate (PER) for communication with one or more of the vehicles located within the distance, and responsive to the CBR being greater than a CBR threshold, or the PER being greater than a PER threshold, record an interference event into a log.

A programmable switch includes a plurality of ports for communicating with a plurality of network devices. A packet for a distributed system is received via a port and at least one indicator is identified in the received packet. Reliability metadata associated with a network device used for the distributed system is generated using the at least one indicator. The generated reliability metadata is sent to a controller for the distributed system for predicting or determining a reliability of at least one of the network device and a communication link for the network device and the programmable switch.

In one aspect, a computerized method includes the step of providing process monitor in a Gateway. The method includes the step of, with the process monitor, launching a Gateway Daemon (GWD). The GWD runs a GWD process that implements a Network Address Translation (NAT) process. The NAT process includes receiving a set of data packets from one or more Edge devices and forwarding the set of data packets to a public Internet. The method includes the step of receiving another set of data packets from the public Internet and forwarding the other set of data packets to the one or more Edge devices. The method includes the step of launching a Network Address Translation daemon (NATD). The method includes the step of detecting that the GWD process is interrupted; moving the NAT process to the NATD.
