Example aspects include techniques for implementing a transparent TCP proxy for containerized applications. These techniques may include receiving an outgoing packet from the containerized application via a container bridge and determining, based on a connection associated with the outgoing packet, whether the outgoing packet corresponds to an incoming packet identified by a first marking as being redirected through the TCP proxy. In addition, the techniques may include in response to determining that the outgoing packet corresponds to the incoming packet, adding a second marking to the outgoing packet to indicate that the outgoing packet is to be routed through the TCP proxy, sending the outgoing packet to the TCP proxy based on the second marking, and transmitting an outgoing processed packet to an external device having the destination address, the outgoing processed packet resulting from a performance of a proxy operation by the TCP proxy on the outgoing packet.

A communication apparatus can act as a proxy to perform communication with a plurality of other communication apparatuses by receiving a request from a client apparatus in a network in compliance with the Neighbor Awareness Networking standard, and includes a first reception unit configured to receive, from a first other communication apparatus, a first signal for service provision notification, a second reception unit configured to receive, from the first other communication apparatus, a second signal for service provision notification, and a third reception unit configured to receive, from a second other communication apparatus, a third signal for service provision notification. In addition, a notification unit notifies the client apparatus of information related to the first other communication apparatus and information related to the second other communication apparatus together in a case where the first signal, the second signal, and third signal are received.

In an embodiment, application delivery to end-user devices may be handled by a combination of an application device and a distributed set of split edge devices located closer to the end-user device within a network. The split edge devices are instructed by the application device about how to manage traffic to and from the end-user devices. The application device determines whether content is stored to content cache of a split edge device. The application device, when the content is stored to the split edge device, refrains from sending the content and instead sends instructions to the split edge device that include reference to a location of the content, and instruct the split edge device to send the content to an application and/or device. The application device, when the content is not stored to the split edge device, sends the content with instructions to store the content locally.

A process of operating a first network node in a first communication network can include establishing a control plane interface between the first network node and a second network node in a second communication network. The process can further include communicating first control plane data via the control plane interface. The first control plane data can be associated with operation of a user equipment, UE, in a first communication system of the first communication network. The process can further include determining that the UE has moved to a second communication system of the first communication network. The process can further include maintaining the control plane interface between the first network node and the second network node in the second communication network. The process can further include communicating second control plane data via the control plane interface.

Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for data management in a reverse content data network (rCDN). A component of the rCDN may include a memory to hold content received from a first sensor device of a plurality of sensor devices of the rCDN and first attributes that describe properties of the content. The component may include processing circuitry to receive second content from a second sensor device of the plurality of sensor devices, the second content including a plurality of second attributes that describe properties of the second content, and forward, in response to a determination, based on the first and second attributes, that there is insufficient space to store the second content on the memory, the second content to a node of the rCDN that is fewer hops away from a backend cloud than the component.
