In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, an exemplary system or computer implemented method for implementing Persistent Management Agent (PMA) functions for the control and coordination of DPU and DSLAM components may include, for example: a memory to store instructions for execution; one or more processors to execute the instructions; a virtualized module operating on virtualized computing infrastructure, in which the virtualized module is to provide a virtualized implementation of a plurality of functions associated with one or more remotely located Distribution Point Units (DPUs) and/or Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs), each of the one or more remotely located DPUs and/or DSLAMs having a plurality of broadband lines coupled thereto; in which the virtualized module is to further control Persistent Management Agent (PMA) functions and control coordination of the one or more remotely located DPUs and/or DSLAMs and the plurality of broadband lines coupled with the one or more remotely located DPUs and/or DSLAMs by virtualizing one or more functions of the one or more remotely located DPUs and/or DSLAMs to operate on the virtualized computing infrastructure; and a network interface to receive data and send control instructions for operation of the plurality of broadband lines to and from the one or more remotely located DPUs and/or DSLAMs. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

A broadband diagnostics system provides the capability to collect, store and retrieve diagnostic information for the purpose of comparing various channel information to current and existing network elements and conditions. The system allows testing, troubleshooting, tracking, identifying and logging information pertaining to cable, xDSL, FTTx and other networks, and their associated elements. The system also provides identification and testing of network elements deployed at various customer premises, behind a demarcation device.

A method for operation of a broadband access network of a telecommunications network includes: in a first step, a program or configuration information is provided to or received by an orchestrator node or functionality; in a second step, subsequent to the first step, at least one piece of program or control information is provided or transmitted to at least one programmable network node; and in a third step, subsequent to the second step, the at least one piece of program or control information is activated to be executed by the at least one programmable network node.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and a computer system are provided. The computer system includes a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC receives a first message from a first remote device on a management network. The BMC determines whether the first message is directed to a storage service or fabric service running on a host of the BMC. The host is a storage device. The BMC extracts a service management command from the first message, when the first message is directed to the storage service or fabric service. The BMC sends, through a BMC communication channel to the host, a second message containing the service management command to the host. The BMC communication channel established for communicating baseboard management commands between the BMC and the host.

A method for executing a management operation by a terminal in a communications system. The method comprises the followings: The terminal receives the management operation commands that indicate the operation to target operation nodes in the device capability management object and operates them. The said operation initiates the process for executing the corresponding device capability management operation, then the said management operation transfers the device capability status. Also, the corresponding terminal and system are disclosed. The present invention can centrally manage and control the terminal capability.

In some examples, a control network for one or more network segments of a network comprises a plurality of controllers each including one or more processors. The plurality of controllers receive service requests that each comprises a definition for a service provided by the network to connect at least two endpoints over a path traversing at least one of the one or more network segments, wherein the control network operates according to a control model by which the plurality of controllers provision services in the one or more network segments to satisfy the service requests. The plurality of controllers dynamically adapt, based on network conditions including the service requests, the control model for the control network. The plurality of controllers provision, according to the adapted control model, services for the service requests.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for collective operation management in a parallel computer are provided. Embodiments include a parallel computer having a plurality of compute nodes coupled for data communications over a data communications network. Embodiments include a first compute node entering a collective operation. Each compute node of the plurality of compute nodes is associated with the collective operation. In response to entering the collective operation, the first compute node decreases power consumption of the first compute node.

A method for operation of a broadband access network of a telecommunications network includes: in a first step, a first access functionality primarily associated with a first central office point of delivery is also connected to a second central office point of delivery, and a second access functionality primarily associated with the second central office point of delivery is also connected to the first central office point of delivery; and in a second step, the cluster controller and both a first control functionality or control plane of the first central office point of delivery and a second control functionality or control plane of the second central office point of delivery control whether the first and second access functionalities are served by the first central office point of delivery or second central office point of delivery.
