A data processing request is obtained containing blockchain data and an identifier used to identify a blockchain network to which the data processing request belongs. The identifier is extracted from the data processing request. Based on the identifier, corresponding processing logic associated with the data processing request is executed. The blockchain data is stored to a blockchain storage area corresponding to the identifier.

The present application discloses a cloud-network integration (CNI) oriented multi-access edge computing (MEC) architecture. An access network (AN) side of the architecture is provided with a plurality of edge computing nodes, a physical channel of the AN side is split into a plurality of subchannels with each of the subchannels supporting a media access control (MAC) access mode, and a software defined network (SDN) controller is arranged in the architecture and is configured to allocate resources of the subchannels at a physical layer and protocols at an MAC layer and control offloading at the edge computing nodes or a cloud center by a terminal user. The present application can carry out fine-grained control and cooperative management on network resources and computing resources, and achieve more effective computation offloading and service enhancement.

A message processing method and apparatus on a cloud computing platform, and a message processing system on a cloud computing platform are provided. In the message processing method, after an input request message sent to an active server and a standby server is received, the input request message is sent to all active servers and standby servers. After input response messages returned by the active server and the standby server are received, one of the input response messages is sent to an external device.

The present invention relates to a system for operating textile printing machines, with a first textile printing machine and at least one second textile printing machine, which machines are provided in a first entity or a second entity, which are independent of each other, wherein each textile printing machine is provided with a data-processing module, which detects data about the state, set-up and/or utilization of the textile printing machine, wherein the textile printing machine transmits the detected data to a data center, independent from entities and/or location, and wherein the data center is configured to accept print jobs from third parties and, based on the transmitted data, to transmit at least one print job fitting the data to one of the at least two textile printing machines. Moreover, the invention relates to a module for the system according to the invention.

A method and control node for managing cloud resources in a communications network for a client being served by a primary data center holding service data associated with a cloud service being executed for the client in the primary data center. A first backup data center having free processing and storage resources for the cloud service, is selected based on usage of links between a source node associated with the client and the first backup data center. The service data is then saved in the first backup data center, thereby enabling the cloud service to be recovered in the first backup data center. If the usage of links in potential communication paths between the source node and the first backup data center exceeds a link usage threshold, the saved service data may be transferred from the first backup data center to a second backup data center.

The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (APs) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network can therefore include multiple APs, each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, APs can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple APs can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations are load balanced across APs so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations between APs.

In one example, a method for dynamically scaling computer resources in a cloud computing environment is disclosed. The method includes determining lag state information of a message broker. The message broker handles real-time data exchanged with application instances running in a cloud service. The method includes determining whether the lag state information indicates a change to the application instances running in the cloud service. If the lag state information indicates a change, the method includes providing instructions to the cloud service to alter the application instances.

The disclosure provides an approach for seamless hand-off of data traffic in public cloud environments. Techniques are provided for activating an edge services gateway (ESG) virtual computing instance (VCI) on a new host. Prior to activating the ESG VCI on the new host, an underlay routing table is reprogrammed to associate a first IP address of a first tunnel endpoint (TEP) with a first network interface of an old host and to associate a second IP address of a second TEP with a second network interface of the new host. The routing table associates a third IP address of the ESG VCI with the first network interface. After activating the ESG VCI, a packet having as a destination address the third IP address is received at the first network interface and is encapsulated, by the first TEP, with an outer header having as a destination address the second IP address.

Network traffic flows can be processed by routers, switches, or service nodes. Service nodes may be ASICs that can provide the functionality of a switch or a router. Service nodes can be configured in a circular replication chain, thereby providing benefits such as high reliability. The service nodes can implement methods that include receiving a first packet that includes a source address in a source address field and that includes a destination address in a destination address field. The first packet can be routed to a selected service node that is in the replication chain that includes a plurality of service nodes that are configured for chain replication of a service state information. A service node configured for NAT or some other service can use the first packet to produce a translated packet that can be transmitted toward a destination indicated by the destination address.
