The systems and methods discussed herein provide for classifying CDN connections to the originating application on the first packet. In some implementations, the system identifies application connections established within a predetermined time period prior to the CDN connection and increments a value associated with these connections. The system classifies the CDN connection as corresponding to the application connection with the highest associated value, allowing routing of network traffic to take advantage of QoS benefits and reduce the need for deep packet inspection.

An application gateway including application service programming positioned at a user premises can provide voice controlled and managed services to a user and one or more endpoint devices associated with the application gateway. The application gateway can be controlled remotely by the application service provider through a service management center and configured to execute an application service provided from the application service provider. The application gateway can execute the application service at the user premises upon voice command by a user and independent of application services executing on the application service provider's network. An application service logic manager can communicate with an application service enforcement manager to verify that the request conforms with the policy and usage rules associated with the application service in order to authorize execution of the application service on the application gateway, either directly or through endpoint devices.

A method and processing system for managing user access to one or more resources is disclosed. A central service may receive an access change request message regarding a user. The access change request message may include a user identifier, a user role, and an access action for the user. Example access actions may include adding or removing user access with respect to a resource. The central service may determine which resources are associated with the user role and transmit one or more event messages to the resources to implement the access actions. The resources may send acknowledgement messages to the central service to confirm that the access actions have been completed.

Provided are a BIER packet forwarding method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The BIER packet forwarding method is applied to a packet sending node and includes: setting node information of a BIER forwarding neighboring node in a BIFT forwarding entry; in a case of determining according to the node information that the BIER forwarding neighboring node has a capability of processing a target packet format, encapsulating a BIER packet according to the target packet format; and sending an encapsulated BIER packet to the BIER forwarding neighboring node.

The disclosure provides a method and a device for efficiently operating network slicing. According to the disclosure, a method of operating a first node configured to manage a network slice of a communication system includes: transmitting a service level agreement (SLA) range for each network slice subnet and a message requesting a resource according to the SLA range to a second node configured to manage the network slice subnet, receiving SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship information in the network slice subnet unit from the second node, and identifying the SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship in a network slice unit based on the received SLA arrangement flavor mapping relationship information in a network slice subnet unit.

A communication method and apparatus. A user plane network element perform refined differentiated processing on different data packets to adapt to and meet different user requirements and network conditions. A first user plane network element receives a first data packet, where the first data packet carries first indication information. The first user plane network element processes the first data packet based on the first indication information. The first indication information includes one or more of the following: synchronous transmission indication information, packet discard indication information, data type indication information, charging indication information, statistics indication information, or priority indication information.

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a computer-implemented method for scheduling transmissions of a plurality of data streams in a telecommunication network. The transmissions are partitioned into transmission cycles with a predetermined length in time. Repetitive transmissions of each of the data streams are transmitted based on the predetermined length multiplied by a respective repetition rate. The method includes: determining a path through the network for the transmissions of each stream; determining a shared transmission links based on a comparison of the paths, wherein each shared transmission link is part of at least two of the paths; based on a numerical optimization, determining a phase of the repetitive transmissions for each data stream, the optimization using an objective function with a value for interference between two repetitive transmissions; and scheduling the transmissions of each data stream, wherein the transmissions start at a transmission cycle associated with the respective phase.

A resource allocation method includes: obtaining, by a first network device, target resource reservation information based on a plurality of transmitted packets, where all of the packets carry a same virtual network identifier, and the virtual network identifier is used to indicate that the packets are transmitted through a same virtual network; and allocating a resource to the virtual network based on the target resource reservation information.

Systems and methods for monitoring, reporting, and notification of media processing entities using system variables and events are provided. According to embodiments, schemes for the monitoring, reporting, and notification may be created, updated, and deleted using a media processing entity (MPE) application programming interface (API). According to embodiments, based on the scheme being implemented by an MPE, a value of a variable of the MPE or a status of an event of the MPE, during the monitoring, or as a part of the reporting, or as a part of the notification may be sent by the MPE and received.
