CLUSTER-AWARE MULTIPATH TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL (MPTCP) SESSION LOAD BALANCING
Systems and methods for establishing a multipath connection include a first processor of a first cluster forwarding a first request from a client to establish a first connection with a server to a second processor of a second cluster. A third processor of the first cluster receives a second request to establish a multipath connection between the client and the server. The third processor forwards the second request to the second processor responsive to determining that the second request is to establish a multipath connection. The second processor establishes the multipath connection that includes the first connection and a second connection used as paths of the multipath connection.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING BETWEEN AND USING A PLURALITY OF SERVICE PROVIDER NETWORKS
A control device receives information, e.g., network status information and network loading information, from a plurality of service provider networks and device capability information and status information, from a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. UEs subscribe to multiple service provider networks. In some geographical regions, coverage is provided by more than one network. The control device generates and sends device profile to network mapping information to UEs on an individual UE basis, e.g., for geographic regions, e.g., 3D regions, where multiple networks are available. Device profile to network mapping information sometimes includes criteria, e.g. rules, parameter, limits, etc. An application on the UE uses the received device profile to network mapping information, along with position information, to select a network/profile to use at a given time. Altering the information provided to one or more UEs allows the control device to perform load balancing between networks.
SERVER SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANAGING SERVER SYSTEM
A server system including a first server to execute first role, other server to execute at other role, spare server and management layer server. The management layer server is configured to allocate first group of users to access first server and other group of users to access other server, receive status information sent by first server and status information sent by other server, analyse status information to determine an operational status of first server and operational status of other server, update role of spare server to first role when operational status of first server indicates failed state and reallocate first group of users to the spare server, and update a role of another spare server to the other role when the operational status of the other server indicates a failed state and reallocate the other group of users to the other spare server.

Edge computing platform capability discovery
Systems and methods for establishing a connection with an edge application server are provided. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network establishes a connection with an edge application server to offload the data processing of an application executing on the UE to the edge application server. The UE communicates key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the application to the edge data network. The KPIs indicate the resources that application uses to process the data. In response, the UE receives edge application server parameters from multiple servers in the edge data network that meet or exceed the KPIs. The parameters include compute, graphical compute, memory and storage parameters with various levels of specificity. The UE selects one of the edge application servers to process the data on behalf of the application based on the parameters.
CONTAINER-BASED CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR
A container-based cloud service providing system of the present disclosure includes an access server network-connected to a plurality of user terminals through a web socket; an in-memory duster having an area allocated in a cloud and storing an authentication key and event data based on a container; a server module providing a cloud service to the user terminal; a manager module managing the server module; and a database. The server module includes a security module having a container structure and performing authentication of the user terminal; a data storage module having a container structure and periodically storing the event data stored in the in-memory cluster in the database; and a service module providing the cloud service by using the event data.
Distributed data stream programming and processing
Techniques are described herein for distributed data stream programming and processing. The techniques include sending a request indicating one or more regions of a program code to access a stream in a stream pool and to execute on a processing node in a processing nodes pool. The techniques also include accessing the stream defined in the one or more regions of the program code to service the request. Thereafter, the processing node is selected to use for execution of the one or more regions of the program code and the processing node executes one or more instances of the one or more regions of the program code.

Local preference in anycast CDN routing
Embodiments herein describe a CDN where anycast routing is used to identify a load balancer for selecting a cache in the CDN to use to deliver a requested object to a user. In one embodiment, the user performs a DNS lookup to identify an anycast IP address for a plurality of load balancers in the CDN. The user can then initiate anycast routing using the anycast IP address to automatically identify the closest load balancer. Once the identified balancer selects the cache, the load balancer can close the anycast connection with the user device and use an HTTP redirect to provide the user device with a unicast path to the selected cache. The user device can then establish a unicast connection with the cache to retrieve (e.g., stream) the object.
