A computing device may perform a method that includes graphically presenting a plurality of virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) elements which represent a plurality of stored VRF profiles, with each VRF element presenting profile data from one of the plurality of stored VRF profiles. The method may further include receiving input selecting a VRF element which represents and presents profile data from a selected stored VRF profile and receiving input modifying the profile data presented by the selected VRF element. A VRF profile may be generated, for a networking device of a networking infrastructure, based on the selected stored VRF profile and the input modifying the profile data presented by the selected VRF element. Thereafter, a VRF element may be graphically presented which represents and presents profile data from the generated VRF profile for the networking device.

A network connection method and device for a training participant of a joint training model are provided, the training participant operates in a master-worker mode. The method includes: acquiring communication state information of a worker, the communication state information indicating a communication connection phase that the worker is in; acquiring communication state information of a target worker as target communication state information, where the target worker includes a peer node corresponding to the worker, and the peer node belongs to a different training participant of the joint training model; and resetting, in response to determining that the target communication state information does not match the communication state information of the worker, a communication connection phase that the worker is in.

In a cable network, embodiments detect and remediate a non-responsive customer premise equipment (CPE) device in a customer's premise with minimal or no interaction with a customer. Embodiments may detect and remediate a non-responsive CPE device without rebooting the non-responsive CPE device or the associated cable modem. Embodiments include troubleshooting a data link layer (e.g., Open System Interconnection (OSI) layer 2, or media access control (MAC) layer) and a network layer (e.g., OSI layer 3, or Internet layer) between a service operator network and the non-responsive CPE device. Embodiments include a guided integration and a proactive integration method, computer program product, and system to reduce and/or eliminate the need for a customer service representative to reboot a cable modem, and/or for a customer to reboot a non-responsive CPE device resulting in a fast and less disruptive service experience for the customer.

Disclosed embodiments are directed at systems, methods, and architecture for operating a control plan of a microservices application. The control plane corresponds with data plane proxies associated with each of a plurality of APIs that make up the microservices application. The communication between the data plane proxies and the control plane enables automatic detection of service groups of APIs and automatic repair of application performance in real-time in response to degrading service node conditions.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for UE capability signaling. An apparatus is provided that is caused to at least: receive, from a user equipment capability management function, a message including a first restart counter value indicating a restart of the user equipment capability management function; inhibit, in response to receiving the first restart counter value, one or more old user equipment capability identifiers associated with a second restart counter value, the second restart counter value being associated to a pre-restart state of the user equipment capability management function; and send the first restart counter value indicating the restart of the user equipment capability management function. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing error detection in a network, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing error and/or fault detection in a network and/or media stream and providing options to address the error and/or fault in the network and/or media stream. In various embodiments, a computer might detect an error in a first network and send a notification indicating that the error has occurred. The notification might contain one or more options to address the error in the first network. The computer, a user device, a service provider device, or a content provider device might receive and display the notification containing the one or more options. The computer, the user device, the service provider device, or the content provider device might then select at least one of the one or more options to address the error in the first network.

This application provides a signal transmission method and apparatus. The method is applied to a communications system including at least three nodes, a second node in the at least three nodes communicates with a third node by using a first node, and the method includes: determining, by the first node, a status of a link between the first node and the second node; and sending, by the first node, first notification information to the third node when determining that the link between the first node and the second node is abnormal, where the first notification information is used to indicate that the link between the first node and the second node is abnormal.

A communication device includes a first communication interface for a first transmission path, a second communication interface for a second transmission path, a control unit that controls a communication path internal to the communication device of a signal received by the first communication interface, and a processing unit that performs predetermined processing on the received signal, wherein the control unit performs control to output, in a case where the communication device is in a first state, the received signal to the second communication interface via the processing unit, and output, in a case where the communication device is in a second state, the received signal to the second communication interface by bypassing the processing unit.

A self-organizing device may include a recovery control module which may monitor different events from various different domains, for example from different layers of the software stack, associated with wireless communications of the device. Upon identifying a specific condition based on the monitored information, the device may execute a corresponding auto-recovery mechanism to mitigate adverse effects of the condition experienced by the device. Devices may provide monitored information to servers, e.g. to cloud servers, which may use expert systems to analyze the information collected from multiple devices, for example from globally dispersed devices, and may define mitigation action responses corresponding to specific scenarios or conditions that include device-specific considerations. The mitigating action responses may be deployed to the devices by the servers as expert system rules in the form of uncompiled code or hot patch code that the devices may later use to implement the necessary mitigation actions as warranted.

An apparatus, system, method, and computer-readable recording medium monitor and detect connection issues in a wireless network. The wireless network communicatively interconnects a gateway device including a network controller, wireless extenders, and client devices. The gateway device receives probe requests from the client devices and the wireless extenders, and the network controller periodically monitors at least one of: i) frame parameters or ii) signal strength information based on the probe requests, and identifies a connection issue with respect to at least one of the wireless extenders. The gateway device transmits a report or alert regarding the connection issue to at least one client device, and the report or alert is used to prompt re-installation of the wireless extender having the connection issue.
