Abstract: A method for congestion management on a computer network including: receiving a packet from a traffic flow; determining at least one attribute associated with the packet; determining a priority level for the packet based on the at least one attribute; determining a queue depth for a queue in a data plane path of the packet; determining whether to send or drop the packet based on the priority level and the queue depth. A system for congestion management including: an incoming packet handler configured to receive a packet; an application detector configured to determine at least one attribute associated with the packet; a policy module configured to determine a priority level for the packet based on the at least one attribute; an enhanced weighted random early detection module configured to determine a queue depth and whether to send or drop the packet based on the priority level and the queue depth.

Abstract: A method and system for network management on a 5G network. The method including: building a subscriber persona associated with a subscriber on the network; predicting a traffic load on a network function based on the subscriber's persona; and allocating the subscriber to a network function based on the traffic load and the subscriber's persona. The system including: a subscriber persona builder configured to build a subscriber persona associated with a subscriber on the network; an analysis module configured to predict a traffic load on a network function based on the subscriber's persona; and an allocation module configured to allocate the subscriber to a network function based on the traffic load and the subscriber's persona.

Abstract: A method and system for subscriber awareness for traffic flows in a computer network. The system including: a Subscriber Awareness Control Plane (SACP) module configured to register as a network node and subscribe to at least one network function on the network; at least one processing module configured to request and receive information of traffic flow parameters and subscriber parameters for the traffic flows from the at least one network function; and a subscriber awareness module configured to map subscribers to traffic flows, based on the received traffic flow parameters and subscriber parameters. The method including: registering an SACP module as a network node; subscribing to at least one network functions; receiving information of traffic flow parameters and subscriber parameters for the traffic flows; and mapping subscribers to traffic flows, based on the traffic flow parameters and subscriber parameters.

Abstract: A method and system for authorizing traffic flows in a computer network. The method including: receiving a packet from a traffic flow sent by a sender; determining whether the traffic flow has been previously authorized; if the traffic flow has not been previously authorized: determining a subscriber associated with the traffic flow, based on the data retrieved from the packet; requesting authorization from an authorization server based on the subscriber and the data retrieved from the packet; upon receiving a response from the authorization server, sending at least three duplicate acknowledgments to the sender, to generate a retransmission in advance of the standard retransmission timing; otherwise, if the traffic flow has been previously authorized, allowing the packet to continue to a destination.

Abstract: A system and method for database instructions in a computer network, the method including: determining a subscriber event associated with a traffic flow; providing subscriber data, associated with the subscriber event to a network device; receiving, from the network device, subscriber id information and a plurality of subscriber rules or services as a plurality of rows; aggregating the plurality of rows to a single row; and writing the single row to a database. The system including: an input module configured to determine a subscriber event, provide subscriber data, associated with the subscriber event to a network device; and receive, from the network device, subscriber id information and a plurality of subscriber rules or services as a plurality of rows; a serialization module configured to aggregate the plurality of rows to a single row; and an output module configured to write the single row to a database.
