  • Patent number: 11956118
    Abstract: A fault root cause identification method, apparatus, and device. For a failure flow that occurs when a connectivity fault for access in a network occurs, a target success flow that has a high similarity with the failure flow is determined from a plurality of success flows in the network based on the failure flow. Then, a target fault root cause of the failure flow is obtained based on the failure flow, the target success flow, and a trained first machine learning model. In this way, the target success flow related to the failure flow is determined from the plurality of success flows in the network, and the first machine learning model trained by using a large quantity of success flows and failure flows whose feature indicators are slightly different from each other is used.

  • Patent number: 11902087
    Abstract: In a forwarding fault location determining method, a controller receives a plurality of table search statistical results of a plurality of forwarding tables for a first service from one or more forwarders. The plurality of forwarding tables include a first forwarding table and a second forwarding table, and the first forwarding table is prior to the second forwarding table in terms of a search sequence. Subsequently, the controller determines that table search behavior of the first forwarding table for the first service is normal and table search behavior of the second forwarding table for the first service is abnormal. The controller determines, based on the determining result, that the second forwarding table is a faulty forwarding table for the first service.

  • Publication number: 20230014083
    Abstract: This application discloses a roaming steering method, an apparatus, a device, a storage medium, and a system. In this application, a reference roaming steering condition is determined by an access control device by performing, for a plurality of times, a roaming steering test on one or more terminals belonging to a reference model, and the reference model is a model of a target terminal. Therefore, the reference roaming steering condition is similar to a roaming rule in the target terminal. In this case, when a first access point device obtains the reference roaming steering condition and determines that the target terminal satisfies the reference roaming steering condition, even if the target terminal does not unconditionally obey roaming steering of the first access point device, there is a high probability that the target terminal is successfully steered to roam.
