The embodiments described herein recite a telephone communication system used for handling information such as messages, typically voice mail messages, and, more particularly, is directed to a system that provides distributed session initiation protocol (SIP) silos. Distributed SIP silos (DSS) is a Communications Application Platform (CAP) feature that maintains the site's call capacity even when a signaling server fails. DSS uses multiple non-redundant signaling servers to provide SIP signaling for the same set of media ports. Because there are multiple signaling servers providing signaling for the same set of ports, the failure of one signaling server only terminates the calls it was actively processing and once those calls have been cleaned up, all the available (non-suspended) ports in the configuration are available to the remaining signaling servers.

In an example, a computer-readable medium may store executable instructions. The executable instructions may be to detect an inoperative network device in a communication network managed by a controller, determine a network switching function assigned to the inoperative network device, and provide the network switching function through the controller itself instead of the inoperative network device.

Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for automatically configuring, managing, updating, and/or monitoring the configuration of various computing devices and/or network devices within a communications network, such as a telecommunications network. Basic input/output setting configurations for a network devices and/or cluster of network devices may be extracted from a template. Subsequently, a module may be identified and executed to configure the cluster based on configuration parameters defined within the template.

Systems and methods of propagating frame loss information by a node in an Ethernet network include detecting one or more of service unaware port discards and service aware port discards; determining statistics based on the one or more of service unaware discards and service aware port discards; and transmitting the determined statistics to a sender node through one of a Link Layer Discovery Protocol Data Unit (LLDPDU) and a Link Trace Message (LTM). The LLDPDU and the LTM can include an organization specific Type-Length-Value (TLV) with a TLV information string therein based on the determined statistics and cause of the one or more of service unaware discards and service aware port discards.

A data management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a data analyzing unit that processes operation data transferred from a data collecting unit that collects the operation data of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, and a state monitoring unit that monitors a state of the data analyzing unit based on monitoring time. The monitoring time is the sum of first time that is time required for transferring the operation data to the data analyzing unit and second time that is time required for processing the operation data in the data analyzing unit.

A controller area network (CAN) node comprises an internal high differential bus line (CANH) and an internal low differential bus line (CANL). The CAN node further comprises a receiver (RXD) comparator coupled to both the internal CANH and the internal CANL that outputs an internal RXD signal. The CAN node further comprises an RXD dominant time out (DTO) circuit. The RXD DTO circuit includes: a) an RXD dominant transition detector coupled to an output of the RXD comparator; b) a timer triggered by the RXD dominant transition detector detecting a dominant RXD transition; c) an RXD dominant timer comparator that is coupled to an output of the timer which compares an output of the timer to a selected value; d) an internal RXD dominant signal is changed to an RXD DTO recessive signal after a selected time interval has lapsed and can include a fault output to signal this fault condition.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using an out-of-band network to coordinate a first node reconfiguring a bus interface port used by a second node to communicate on a bus. The first node configures the bus to enable the second node to link to the bus. The second node sends a join request to the first node over an out-of-band network separate from the bus in response to determining that the second node cannot join the bus. The first node reconfigures the bus to enable the second node to communicate on the bus in response to receiving the join request from the second node over the out-of-band network.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.

A network node is provided for use with a broadband data provider facility, and first and second subscriber groups, the broadband data provider facility being operable to provide first and second service group provider data. The network node includes a network access device and a downstream configuration component. The network access device converts the first and second service group provider data into first and second service group network access data, respectively. The downstream configuration component receives a configuration instruction, the first and second service group network access data and, based on the configuration instruction, provides the first service group network access data to the first subscriber group and the second service group network access data to the second subscriber group. The downstream configuration component further receives a second configuration instruction and, based on the second configuration instruction, provides the first service group network access data to the first and second subscriber groups.

Grafting segments of a network together to mitigate service disruptions associated with impairments, maintenance, etc., is contemplated. The grafting may include instantiating a wired and/or wireless graft to facilitate connecting an impaired portion of a network to an unimpaired portion, such as to reestablish services at the impaired portion via the graft to the unimpaired portion.
