An apparatus and method for providing ML processing for one or more ML applications operating on one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices includes receiving a ML request from an IoT device. The ML request can be generated by a ML application operating on the IoT device and include input data collected by the first ML application. A ML model to perform ML processing of the input data included in the ML request is identified and provided to an ML core for ML processing along with the input data included in the first ML request. The ML core produces ML processing output data based on ML processing by the ML core of input data included in the ML request using the ML model. The ML processing output data can be transmitted to the IoT device.

The present disclosure relates to a communication system based on a neural network model, and a configuration method therefor. The communication system includes at least one master node and multiple child nodes that are in communication connection with the master node, and a child node neural network model is configured in each of the multiple child nodes. The configuration method for the communication system includes: obtaining feature information of the multiple child nodes; and dynamically configuring the child node neural network models on the basis of the obtained feature information.

Methods for configuring a monitoring device to communicate with a service server are provided. The method includes the monitoring device sending a message including a code used for authentication of the monitoring device to a control server, receiving one or more addresses of a service server associated with the monitoring device from the control server in response to the monitoring device being authenticated by the control server, storing the one or more addresses retrieved by the control server, and establishing a connection between the monitoring device and the service server using at least one of the one or more addresses received from the control server.

A method is provided of managing a non-static collection of machines. A first client machine runs a first communication protocol. The non-static collection of machines includes a first linear communication orbit, the first linear communication orbit comprising a sequence of machines that run the first communication protocol, and a second linear communication orbit, the second linear communication orbit comprising a sequence of machines that run a second communication protocol distinct from the first communication protocol. The first client machine receives an instruction from a server to install the second communication protocol, installs the second communication protocol, and then submits a registration request to the server. The first client machine receives, from the server, contact information of a list of potential neighbors. The first client machine then, proactively constructs and maintains a respective local segment of the second linear communication orbit.

The present disclosure, relating to the technical field of communications, provides a management method for a home network device and a network management system. The method includes that: a home gateway acquires home terminal device information in a home network; the home gateway sends the home terminal device information to a home sub-cloud which corresponds to the home network and is independent from other home sub-clouds on a cloud management platform to store.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an in-situ flow detection method and an electronic device. The method includes: receiving a first service packet carrying a first packet header, where the first packet header includes at least a first in-situ flow detection option which is added to the first packet header by an ingress node of a first network domain and is for indicating an in-situ flow detection; and when the network device is an ingress node of a second network domain, forwarding a second service packet in the second network domain; where the second service packet is obtained by encapsulating a second packet header in an outer layer of the first service packet, the second packet header includes at least a second in-situ flow detection option.

Systems and methods for managing network resources are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving first information relating to network traffic parameters and receiving second information relating to one or more contextual events having an effect on the network traffic parameters. The first information and the second information and be correlated. And one or more network resources can be allocated based on the correlation of the first information and the second information.

A method includes deploying a network device within a fabric having a management network by attaching the network device through the management network to a port of a role allocator, wherein the role allocator includes one or more ports designated as first level port connections and one or more other ports designated as second level port connections. If the deployed network device is attached to one of the ports designated as first level port connections, the deployed network device is configured as a first level device. If the deployed network device is attached to one of the ports designated as second level port connections, the deployed network device is configured as a second level device.

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are an OAM message transmission method and transmission device, and a storage medium. The OAM message transmission method comprises: obtaining an OAM block generated on the basis of an OAM message; replacing an idle block in a data stream with the OAM block; and sending the data stream carrying the OAM block.

This disclosure describes an integrated management method to manage a service mesh data plane over a network fabric. The method includes determining at least one service mesh data plane policy for a microservice of a service mesh. The method further includes sending, over the network fabric, the at least one service mesh data plane policy to a virtual router associated with the microservice based at least in part on connectivity information maintained by a network fabric control plane manager of a configuration manager.
