Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to Time Sensitive Communication (TSC) to Fifth Generation (5G) Quality of Service (QoS) mapping and associated QoS binding. In one embodiment, a method for QoS mapping in a 5G System (5GS) for a virtual Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) bridge comprises, at a first network function, obtaining information from a TSN Application Function (AF) comprising baseline TSC QoS parameters and one or more additional parameters comprising either or both of: (a) one or more additional TSC QoS attributes and (b) one or more additional traffic attributes. The method further comprises, at the first network function, generating one or more Policy and Charging Control (PCC) rules based on the obtained information and providing the one or more PCC rules to a second network function. The method further comprises, at the second network function, performing QoS binding based on the one or more PCC rules.

Disclosed is a system comprised of different points-of-presence (“PoPs”) that provide software defined hybrid private and public networking for different entity sites. A system PoP may establish and/or maintain different network circuits for accessing different destinations or services. The system PoP may receive a tunnel creation request from a particular site, may obtain entity-defined policies that are specified for the particular site, and may establish a particular network tunnel to the particular site. The system PoP may then route egress traffic with a first classification through a first network circuit with a different quality of service (“QoS”) than egress traffic with a second classification according to the policies. Similarly, the system PoP may route ingress traffic arriving over the first network circuit through the particular network tunnel with a different QoS than ingress traffic arriving over the second network circuit according to the policies.

For efficiently handling network traffic via a fixed access, classification of UL data traffic in a communication device may be accomplished in a reflective mode by detecting identifiers of outgoing uplink data packets which are complementary to identifiers of incoming downlink data packets. The downlink data packets are already assigned to the traffic classes. The outgoing uplink data packets carrying the complementary identifier are assigned to the same traffic class as the incoming downlink data packets. For this purpose, the communication device is provided with a traffic classificator. In the reflective mode, the traffic classificator locally generates uplink packet classification rules by monitoring received downlink data packets.

Example video data transmission methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes receiving a plurality of data packets corresponding to a plurality of video frames by a network device from a server. The network device determines that a transmission phase of one or more data packets corresponding to each video frame in the plurality of video frames, and determines a corresponding priority based on the transmission phase of the one or more data packets corresponding to each video frame. The network device sends, based on the priority of the one or more data packets corresponding to each video frame, the one or more data packets corresponding to each video frame to a terminal device corresponding to each video frame.

A method that includes establishing an open connection for responding to requests from clients supported by an application server. The method may further include establishing a set of queues configured for storing requests received from the client via the open connection. The method may further include selecting requests from the queues based on a rate limit threshold and burst limit threshold of the application server. The rate limit threshold may refer to a number of requests that the application server can process within a first time duration, while the burst limit threshold may refer to a number of requests that the application server can process within a second time duration that is shorter than the first time duration. The method may further include transmitting the requests to a set of data processing servers connected to the application server and receiving an indication that the requests have been processed.

Methods are provided to categorize and filter node metadata by adding a priority field to the node metadata, obtained as part of in-band network telemetry data collection. The methods involve obtaining, by a first network device, a packet having a header and a payload and adding, by the first network device, to the header of the packet, metadata which includes first telemetry data and a metadata priority level that indicates a priority of the first telemetry data added to the header of the packet by the first network device. The methods further involve providing the packet to a second network device in a path of a network.

Systems and methods for providing bandwidth congestion control in a private fabric in a high performance computing environment. An exemplary method can provide, at one or more microprocessors, a first subnet, the first subnet comprising a plurality of switches, and a plurality of host channel adapters, wherein each of the host channel adapters comprise at least one host channel adapter port, and wherein the plurality of host channel adapters are interconnected via the plurality of switches, and a plurality of end nodes. The method can provide, at a host channel adapter, an end node ingress bandwidth quota associated with an end node attached to the host channel adapter. The method can receive, at the end node of the host channel adapter, ingress bandwidth, the ingress bandwidth exceeding the ingress bandwidth quota of the end node.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. The method comprises: receiving a flow index corresponding to a plurality of applications available at an electronic device, wherein the flow index represents a type of the flow, and a priority of the flow; determining whether connection for the data transmission exists between the electronic device and an internet server based on the flow index; performing one of regulating the flow based on the flow index in response to determining that the connection for the data transmission exists between the electronic device and the internet server, and discarding the flow index received from the electronic device for regulation of the flow in response to determining that the connection for the data transmission does not exists.

One example transmission method includes receiving, by a network device, a first transmission parameter that is sent by a server and that is used to transmit assistance data, where the first transmission parameter includes configuration information and/or priority information, and the configuration information is used to indicate a transmission cycle of each of one or more system messages and/or a size of a data volume that can be carried in each of the one or more system messages, and sending, by the network device, first configuration information to the server according to the first transmission parameter, where the first configuration information is used to indicate a transmission cycle of a first system message and a size of a data volume that can be carried in the first system message, and the one or more system messages include the first system message.

This disclosure describes systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for enhanced network communication for use in higher performance applications including storage, high performance computing (HPC) and Ethernet-based fabric interconnects. In some embodiments, a network controller may include a transmitter circuit configured to transmit packets on a plurality of virtual lanes (VLs), the VLs associated with a defined VL priority and an allocated share of network bandwidth. The network controller may also include a bandwidth monitor module configured to measure bandwidth consumed by the packets and an arbiter module configured to adjust the VL priority based on a comparison of the measured bandwidth to the allocated share of network bandwidth. The transmitter circuit may be further configured to transmit the packets based on the adjusted VL priority.
