Systems and methods are described for a media guidance application (e.g., implemented on a user device) that improves quality of service while streaming code-agnostic content by editing manifest files.

This application discloses a BRAS system-based packet encapsulation method and apparatus, and pertains to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: obtaining user access information when receiving a user access protocol packet, performing VXLAN GPE encapsulation on the user access protocol packet based on the user access information, the encapsulation structure includes a user information header that is used to store the user access information, a quantity of bytes occupied by the user information header is less than or equal to 12. In this application, the foregoing encapsulation structure is used to encapsulate a packet, and an encapsulated packet has backward compatibility. In addition, because the quantity of bytes occupied by the user information header is less than a quantity of bytes occupied by an NSH that carries the user access information, encapsulation overheads are saved.

A computer-implemented system and method for managing service requests are disclosed. The system includes a service provider, having a number of server devices, that provides a service response in response to a client service request. The service response includes a service instance ID associated with a server and a connection lease. A communication processing component routes a first client service request to one of the servers. Subsequent client service requests and responses are transmitted directly between the client device and the server device associated with service instance ID included in the first service response for the duration of the connection lease.

A telecommunication system uses a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm based on current load conditions for controlling transmissions to a plurality of access modules of an access node in order to achieve a fair allocation of network bandwidth at the access node. As an example, access modules at an access node communicate via a control channel with dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) logic that receives load information from each of the access modules. Using such load information, the DBA logic dynamically controls the upstream data rates so that a fair allocation of network bandwidth is achieved across all of the access modules. Specifically, the data rates are controlled such that packet flows for services of the same class achieve the same or similar performance (e.g., average data rate) regardless of which access module is receiving each respective packet flow.

This application provides a configuration error information transmission method and a device. When generating a plurality of pieces of configuration error information after configuring a batch of configuration parameter groups, a user plane network element may report the configuration error information to a control plane network element based on reporting priorities of the configuration error information. According to embodiments, reporting can be performed based on the reporting priorities of the configuration error information. In this way, a user or the control plane network element can configure, by configuring the reporting priorities, an order of precedence of the configuration error information to be reported by the user plane network element.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method, a remote device and a computer readable medium. In this method, a remote device receives from one of a plurality of core devices connected to the remote device, configuration indicating a priority of at least one of the plurality of core devices for serving as a principal core device of the remote device. The remote device updates priorities of the plurality of core devices for serving as the principal core device based on the configuration. In response to a trigger condition for a switchover being satisfied, the remote device reselects the principal core device of the remote device from the plurality of core devices based on the updated priorities. Embodiments of the present disclosure improve the process that a remote device reselects a principal core device.

A packet transmission method, device, and system are disclosed, and pertain to the field of network technologies. The system includes a first network device in a VPLS network and a second network device in a VPWS network. The first network device determines, based on a destination address carried in a received first packet, a virtual port corresponding to the destination address in a VPLS instance of the first network device, and sends the first packet to a second VPWS instance in the second network device based on the virtual port, where the virtual port is used to indicate a first VPWS instance in the first network device, and the second VPWS instance and the first VPWS instance are VPWS instances used to bear a same service.

A BRAS system-based packet encapsulation method includes obtaining user access information when receiving a user access protocol packet and performing VXLAN GPE encapsulation on the user access protocol packet based on the user access information. The encapsulation structure includes a user information header that is used to store the user access information, and a quantity of bytes occupied by the user information header is less than or equal to 12. In this application, the foregoing encapsulation structure is used to encapsulate a packet.

Methods of scheduling resources, distributed access gateway devices and machine-readable storage devices are provided in examples of the present disclosure. In one aspect, a first service board on a distributed access gateway device creates a first software user entry corresponding to a first user on a data plane, determines whether there is an idle hardware resource on the first service board, obtains a slot ID of a second service board comprising an idle hardware resource on the data plane when determining that there is no idle hardware resource on the first service board, and sends the first software user entry to the second service board according to the slot ID of the second service board on the data plane such that the second service board creates a first hardware user entry corresponding to the first user on a data plane of the second service board.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user may select a cable modem (CM) at a graphical user interface (GUI) of a network device for testing. The network device may receive the indication of a selected query from GUI and transmit the selected query to the CM. The network device may receive a response message from the CM and compare the response message to an expected response message. The network device may generate a report indicating a status of the CM based on the comparing. The status of the CM may relate to a compliance of the CM to a standard. Additionally or alternatively, the status of the CM may indicate a performance level of the CM.
