A method of and a node device for determining location addresses of node devices (21, 22 . . . 26) of a network (10). The node devices (21, 22 . . . 26) are arranged along an elongated track (12) and geographically distanced from each other by an inter-node distance “d”. Each node device (21, 22 . . . 26) comprises a short range communication interface (20). A node device (22) receives a message (27) from an immediate neighbouring node device (21) having a known location address comprised in the message (27). The receiving node device (21) determines its own location address based on the location address received in the message (27). The receiving node device (22) then may transmit a further message (28) comprising its determined location address to a further node device (23), allowing the further node device (23) to determine its location address as well.

A network traffic device comprising: at least one network device adapted to receive network data packets; wherein said at least one network device filters network data packets to locate at least one identifying packet, and samples said network data packets to select at least one sample packet. The at least one network device may transfer said at least one identifying packet and said at least one sample packet to an analyser. A predetermined sample rate may determine the number of sample packets selected by said at least one network device.

Embodiments of this application disclose an information reporting method, an information processing method, an apparatus, and a device. The method in embodiments of this application includes the network device obtains a routing prefix included in local routing information, and information about a neighboring peer set corresponding to the routing prefix, and sends a local route monitoring message including the routing prefix and the information about the neighboring peer set to a first device. The neighboring peer set includes a source peer set and/or a destination peer set, the source peer set includes one or more source peers, the source peer is a peer that advertises original routing information including the routing prefix to the network device, the destination peer set includes one or more destination peers, and the destination peer is a peer to which the network device advertises destination routing information including the routing prefix.

This application provides for a data transmission method, an apparatus, and a device. The method may be applied to a relay communication system. The method includes a first network device that receives a first data packet. The first data packet is a data packet of a first multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), and the first data packet carries first information. When second information of the first network device matches the first information, the first network device sends the first data packet to a terminal device that accesses the first network device. The second information is preconfigured for the first network device. In this way, the MBMS is transmitted in the relay communication system.

An integrated circuit (IC) may include a set of instruction list engines (ILEs) that execute in parallel, where each ILE stores a subset of a set of instructions for processing a header of a frame, and where each ILE generates an ILE result based on executing the subset of the set of instructions. The IC may include a circuit to determine a result of parsing the header of the frame based on merging ILE results generated by the set of ILEs.

Techniques are described for extending a cellular quality of service bearer through an enterprise fabric network. In one example, a method obtaining, by a first switch of a network, a packet to be delivered to a client connected to the network via a cellular access point; identifying quality of service (QoS) bearer information associated with the packet, wherein the QoS bearer information is associated with a radio access bearer for the client and the QoS bearer information comprises a bearer indicator and a QoS class identifier; providing a fabric tunnel encapsulation for the packet, wherein the bearer indicator and the QoS class identifier are included within the fabric tunnel encapsulation of the packet; and forwarding the packet within the fabric tunnel encapsulation toward a second switch of the network via a fabric tunnel, wherein the cellular access point is connected to the network via the second switch.

Some embodiments provide policy-driven methods for deploying edge forwarding elements in a public or private SDDC for tenants or applications. For instance, the method of some embodiments allows administrators to create different traffic groups for different applications and/or tenants, deploys edge forwarding elements for the different traffic groups, and configures forwarding elements in the SDDC to direct data message flows of the applications and/or tenants through the edge forwarding elements deployed for them. The policy-driven method of some embodiments also dynamically deploys edge forwarding elements in the SDDC for applications and/or tenants after detecting the need for the edge forwarding elements based on monitored traffic flow conditions.
