An apparatus and method for a power-efficient framework to maintain data synchronization of a mobile personal computer (MPC) are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the detection of a data synchronization wakeup event while the MPC is operating according to a sleep state. Subsequent to wakeup event, at least one system resource is disabled to provide a minimum number of system resources required to re-establish a network connection. In one embodiment, user data from a network server is synchronized on the MPC without user intervention; the mobile platform system resumes operation according to the sleep state. In one embodiment, a wakeup alarm is programmed according to a user history profile regarding received e-mails. In a further embodiment, data synchronizing involves disabling a display, and throttling the system processor to operate at a reduced frequency. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

The system further includes a plurality of network access controllers coupled to the plurality of packet forwarding components via a second set of tunnels. The plurality of network access controllers enforce one or more network policies for the plurality of client devices, as the plurality of client devices move between the plurality of access points.

In one embodiment, a service receives a device registration request sent by an endpoint device, wherein the endpoint device executes an onboarding agent that causes the endpoint device to send the device registration request via a cellular connection to a private access point name (APN) associated with the service. The service verifies that a network address of the endpoint device from which the device registration request was sent is associated with an integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) or international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) indicated by the device registration request. The service identifies a tenant identifier associated with the ICCID or IMEI. The service sends, based on the tenant identifier, a device registration response to the endpoint device via the private APN.

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. The support of a virtual network group according to an embodiment of the present disclosure enables efficient communication of a terminal by using an external network, configured via an existing short-range communication network, or a private network between terminals based on 5G. Accordingly, a network operator or an entity in charge thereof enables terminals to interwork with equipment through communication via a virtual private network without changes in an existing communication method or a network structure, or without adding additional equipment.

This application provides a packet processing method, a device, a system, and a storage medium. A first network device receives an original packet, generates an IPv6 packet based on the original packet and endpoint group (EPG) information, where the IPv6 packet comprises an IPv6 extension header and the original packet, and the IPv6 extension header comprises the EPG information, and sends the IPv6 packet. A second network device receives the IPv6 packet; obtains the EPG information from the IPv6 extension header, and processes the IPv6 packet according to a group based policy corresponding to the EPG information.

Embodiments of this application describe an in-situ flow detection-based packet processing method. After receiving a first packet encapsulated by using a first bearer protocol, a first node may obtain, based on the first packet, a second packet encapsulated by using a second bearer protocol. A first packet header of the first packet includes first in-situ flow detection information, and a packet header of the second packet also includes the first in-situ flow detection information. It can be learned that, when re-encapsulating the first packet by using the second bearer protocol, the first node does not remove the first in-situ flow detection information, but adds the first in-situ flow detection information to the packet encapsulated by using the second bearer protocol. Therefore, even if the first bearer protocol and the second bearer protocol are deployed in a detection domain, the first in-situ flow detection information is not removed due to re-encapsulation of the packet, and may be transmitted across the entire detection domain.

A first network device receives an association relationship sent by a second network device, where the association relationship includes an association relationship between a first path and a second path. The first network device generates first routing information between the first network device and a target network device based on the association relationship, where the first routing information is used by the first network device to send a packet to the target network device through the first path, and when a cross-slice condition is met, the first routing information is used by the first network device to send a packet to the target network device through the second path.
