A method by which a first device (100) performs sidelink transmission and an apparatus for supporting same are presented. The method comprises the steps of: receiving information about a first resource pool set on the basis of a first slot format; reserving a first resource for the sidelink transmission on the basis of the information about the first resource pool; receiving information about a second resource pool set on the basis of a second slot format, after reserving the first resource; and performing the sidelink transmission on the basis of the information about the second resource pool.

A system performs operations including detecting a request to present a game application, receiving a resources identifier from a second communication device, determining from the resources identifier that the second communication device has one of a computing resource, a presentation resource, or both, selecting a configuration from a plurality of configurations according to an identity of the gaming application and the resources identifier, selecting according to the configuration at least one resource from one of the computing resource, the presentation resource, or both of the second communication device, and delegating processing by the first communication device of a portion of the gaming application according to the at least one resource of the second communication device.

A packet processing method and a network device in a hybrid access network. The method comprises sending, by a first network device, a first data packet in a first sending window to a second network device by using a first tunnel. In response to receiving a first acknowledgement response sent by the second network device, increasing, by the first network device, a size of the first sending window based on a first proportion. In response to not receiving, within a first predetermined time, the first acknowledgement response, decreasing the size of the first sending window based on a second proportion; and in response to determining that the size of the first sending window is greater than or equal to a first threshold, sending a second data packet to a second receiving window of the second network device by using a second sending window.

In an embodiment, header information of messages is altered to specify a window within which to receive information, so that the messages sent by a remote device will be sent at a rate that a network can receive messages. The sending of acknowledgements of messages are paced to control window growth. Bandwidth is allocated to a plurality of flows such that the satisfied flows require less bandwidth than an amount of bandwidth allocated to each unsatisfied flow.

According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a cloud computing system can include a load adaptation architecture framework that performs operations for orchestrating and managing one or more services that may operate within at least one of layers 4 through 7 of the Open Systems Interconnection (“OSI”) communication model. The cloud computing system also can include a virtual resource layer. The virtual resource layer can include a virtual network function that provides, at least in part, a service. The cloud computing system also can include a hardware resource layer. The hardware resource layer can include a hardware resource that is controlled by a virtualization layer. The virtualization layer can cause the virtual network function to be instantiated on the hardware resource so that the virtual network function can be used to support the service.

The application discloses a packet transmission method, an apparatus, and a network device. In an embodiment, a first network device obtains identification information corresponding to a service flow, and reserves a forwarding resource based on the identification information. The forwarding resource is used by the first network device to forward the service flow to a second network device. The first network device further sends a packet including the identification information to the second network device, and the second network device reserves a corresponding forwarding resource based on the identification information in the packet. Network devices perform resource reservation hop by hop by sending the packet including the identification information, and do not need to perform resource reservation based on a transmission path that is pre-calculated and planned, so that load of the network device or a controller is reduced, and resource reservation flexibility is improved.
