The present invention allows a user to review the routing of various communications. The system receives incoming communications for analysis by a smart routing engine (SRE) software module. The SRE module analyzes the communication at various system routing points, which is used by SRE to route the communication to an appropriate party. The SRE updates a routing log at each point to ensure a record of the reasons for routing the communication in a certain way. The routing log passes with the communication. This ensures that the ultimate recipient of the communication understands why they have received the communication and reduces the time required for a communication to be acted upon.

A method for controlling the admission of slices in a virtualized telecommunication network and the congestion generated between services with different priorities instantiated on the slices and likely to share a given quantity of resources comprising the following steps of: defining a priority scale to be assigned to the network slices, defining a low priority threshold, determining the quantity of available and used network resources s.sub.p(t) and x.sub.p(t), determining the quantity of resources allocated to slices with a priority lower than the low priority threshold and which may be temporarily assigned to new slices with a priority higher than the threshold, and determining the slices likely to be accepted into the network, taking into account the available resources and the priority of the slices.

Embodiments of this application disclose a packet processing method and a related device, which may be applied to a mobile communications network. A first network device generates a first packet, where a packet header of the first packet carries application information; the first network device sends the first packet to a second network device; and the second network device provides a network service based on the application information in the packet header of the first packet. Because the second network device can identify the application information in the packet header of the first packet, and provide the corresponding network service based on the application information, differentiated network services are implemented, and a fine granularity of the network services is improved.

A method and apparatus for utilizing microslices in an enterprise wireless communication network to manage and control network performance. The microslice instances are monitored during network operation, for example at communication nodes, functional blocks, and end-to-end to provide Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These KPI are compared with performance objectives, which may be Service Level Objectives (SLOs). If the performance objectives are not met by the KPIs, then one or more of the microslice instances may be dynamically adjusted until the performance objectives are sufficiently met. Alternatively, the lower priority microslice instances may be dropped (i.e., terminated) until the performance objectives are sufficiently met.

Techniques for using application network requirements and/or telemetry information from a first networking technology to enhance operation of a second networking technology and optimize wide area network traffic are described herein. The techniques may include establishing a communication network for use by applications of a scalable application service platform, the communication network including a first networking technology and a second networking technology. In this way, a request to establish a connection for use by an application may be received by the first networking technology. The request may include an indication of a threshold service level of the connection. In response to the request, the first networking technology may determine whether the second networking technology is capable of hosting the connection. If the second networking technology is capable of hosting the connection, the connection may be established such that application traffic is sent or received using the second networking technology.

A system and a method for facilitating a processing of a service request is provided. The method includes: accessing a plurality of previously received service requests; receiving a first new service request; determining a handling protocol for the first new service request; adding the received first new service request to the plurality of previously received service requests to generate an updated list of open service requests; and displaying a listing of a least a subset of the updated list of open service requests. The handling protocol includes a priority ranking of the first new service request and an identification of a proposed technician for resolving the corresponding problem. The determination of the handling protocol is performed by assigning weights to each of a set of predefined parameters and algorithmically combining the assigned weights to obtain an overall priority score.
