Provided are methods for enhanced proactive transceiver and carrier automated arbitration for a vehicle. Some methods described include receiving route information representing a route to be traveled by the vehicle, and determining, based on a prediction model and the route information, a first connectivity score of a first transceiver and a second connectivity score of a second transceiver. Some methods described include comparing the first connectivity score against the second connectivity score, and selecting, based on the first connectivity score being greater than the second connectivity score, the first transceiver. Some methods described include determining, using location information, a current second connectivity score of the second transceiver, and connecting, based on comparing the current second connectivity score against the first connectivity score, the vehicle to the first transceiver or the second transceiver for performing wireless communications. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

Intelligent compression of data through a service mesh depending on size and frequency of existing service-to-service communications, relative workloads of the individual microservices, and time of day when large amounts of aggregate network traffic is expected to occur. Compression is enabled on a selective basis, based on user profiles, the size of data being transmitted and/or compression is applied broadly for all data being routed when aggregated amounts of network traffic exceeds threshold levels at particular times of day. Friendly Neighbor Compression Protocol enables data routing through trusted microservices of the service mesh having the same or similar standard and/or security requirements as the microservices of the microservice chain. When computing resources of microservice chains are limited or scarce, service mesh routes data from the microservice chain to trusted microservices for data compression, then re-routes the compressed data to the next microservice of the microservice chain.
