A computer-implemented method for monitoring a communication system includes identifying a set of signals that need to be transmitted over the communication system for proper functioning of the control and/or surveillance; for each signal from the identified set of signals, identifying one or more resources of the communication system that are needed for transmission of this signal; obtaining information that is indicative of the operational state of the identified resources; and evaluating, from the obtained information, at least one remedial activity which, when performed on at least one resource, and/or on the control and/or surveillance, is likely to improve, and/or to restore, the reliability of the control and/or surveillance.

A method includes identifying a quality of service (QoS) policy associated with a tenant in view of a tenant identifier. The QoS policy includes a threshold value of a performance parameter. The method also includes receiving a service request from the tenant, estimating, in view of a subset of a plurality of historical records, an impact value indicating an impact of the service request on the performance parameter of the distributed storage system, determining, in view of the impact value, an estimated value of the performance parameter to result from servicing the service request of the tenant, and responsive to an evaluation of the estimated value of the performance parameter in view of the threshold value of the performance parameter, allocating computing resources of the multi-tenant distributed storage system to execute an operation associated with the service request.

This application describes apparatus and methods for using edge-computing to control resource distribution among access channels, such as a retail banking center. Edge-nodes may be configured to move a product display in response to detected or expected customer traffic flow in or near a retail location. Edge-nodes may be configured to redirect resources provided by a cloud computing environment to or away from the retail location. Based on customer traffic flow, edge-nodes may direct customers/resources to a retail location and ensure the retail location provides a predetermined quality of service.

A system and method for managing distributed shaping in a computer network. The system including: a plurality of logic nodes, each logic node including: a packet processor configured to determine metrics associated with traffic flows in the computer network; a control processor configured to determine a quality value based on the determined metrics and communicate with each of the plurality of logic nodes; and a shaper object configured to shape the network traffic. The method including: initializing each logic node of a plurality of logic nodes; determining metrics associated with traffic flows in the computer network; determining a quality value based on the determined metrics; communicating the metrics with each of the plurality of logic nodes; and shaping the network traffic flows based on the quality value.

Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to intelligently allocating network resources to Quality of Service (QoS)-sensitive data traffic. An example method includes identifying a request to deliver QoS-sensitive services to a User Equipment (UE) over at least one delivery network. The at least one delivery network may include at least one reserved resource and at least one pooled resource. The QoS-sensitive services are determined to be delivered over the at least one pooled resource. In addition, delivery of the QoS-sensitive services is caused over the at least one pooled resource.

Various embodiments provide a packet transmission method and an apparatus. In those embodiments, a first device supports a first protocol layer, and replicates a packet at the first protocol layer. A second device supports a second protocol layer, and deduplicates the packet at the second protocol layer. When receiving a first packet, a first access device converts a sequence number of the first protocol layer in the first packet into a sequence number of the second protocol layer, and then sends, to the second device, a second packet that carries the sequence number of the second protocol layer and a data packet of the first packet. For example, if the first access network device receives two packets having same data packets, the first access network device separately coverts sequence numbers in the two packets without performing operations of first deduplicating and then replicating the packet.

There is provided mechanisms for determining priority of use of network resources used by an MC service in a network. A method is performed by a first MC service server. The method comprises obtaining a priority request from a second MC service server for elevated priority of use of network 5 resources for a service provided by the second MC service server. The method comprises determining whether to grant, reject, or queue the priority request. The method comprises, when determined to grant the priority request, providing a first notification of the grant to the second MC service server and a second notification of the grant to at least one third MC service server.

An object of the present disclosure is to enable reduction of network congestion and concentration of communication on a server side that locally occur at the time of a disaster, an event, or the like and to enable important communication. A communication network control system according to the present disclosure includes: a plurality of communication control devices (20, 30) that control communication of apparatuses (92, 93); and a central communication control device (10) that distributes communication control information to the plurality of communication control devices, the central communication control device (10) collects event information linked to position information, determines an area with a probability that the amount of communication increases, using the collected event information, in a case in which there is an area with the probability that the amount of communication increases, generates communication control information that places a priority on communication in the area, and distributes the generated communication control information to the plurality of communication control devices (20, 30).

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for allocating a server resource, an electronic device and a computer readable storage medium, and relate to the technical fields of cloud platform, cloud environment, containerization and resource allocation. A specific implementation of the method comprises: acquiring a container group creation request initiated by a user for creating a target container group; determining a required amount of server resources required by the user and a remaining amount of the server resources according to the container group creation request, the remaining amount comprising at least one of an exclusive server resource or a shared server resource; rating qualities of the remaining amount of server resources in the remaining amount, and selecting a target server resource corresponding to the required amount according to an obtained actual rating; and allocating the target server resource to the user for creating the target container group.

A base station may obtain information associated with a bearer established for a communication session involving a user equipment. The bearer may be associated with a quality of service (QoS) flow of a network slice and the information may include a QoS flow identifier, a QoS configuration identifier associated with a QoS that is to be provided for communications associated with the QoS flow, and a network slice identifier. The base station may determine a scheduling weight for the bearer based on the QoS flow identifier, the QoS configuration identifier, and the network slice identifier. The base station may cause resources to be allocated to the bearer according to the scheduling weight.
