Abstract: A caching entity may store a cached copy of a service layer resource. An original hosting entity may maintain a registry of the corresponding cached resources. Optionally, the original hosting entity may set cache parameters to govern the lifetime of the cache on a caching entity. The caching entity may keep storing the cached copy of the resource and the original hosting entity may obtain statistics about the cached resource. By knowing the statistics, e.g. how many times a resource is retrieved on each caching entity, the original hosting entity may better manage the resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically upgrading a license in a communication network are provided. In one embodiment, a network device in communication with a license server may be configured with a processing device and a memory device configured to store a computer program having instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to analyze a communication path between first and second nodes of a communication system and analyze a first license agreement having a first set of constraints regarding communication between the first and second nodes. Responsive to determining that the communication path is not allowable under the first set of constraints of the first license agreement, the instructions may further cause the processing device to upgrade the first license agreement to a second license agreement having a second set of constraints that are less-restrictive than the first set of constraints regarding communication between the first and second nodes.

Abstract: Embodiments concern a dynamic authorization framework. Security Classification Process (SCP) is the process of classifying raw data, information extracted from raw data, content or code from security-value perspective. Security Achievability Determination Process (SADP) is a process based on a SV/SC that has been assigned, the RHE may determine the Security Requirements and how the security requirements may be achieved. During the Security Achievability Listing Process (SALP), the RHE uploads onto the Resource Listing Entity (RLE) the URI of the resource, the SAM associated with the resource and optionally a digital certificate associated with the resource. During the SAM Assessment Process (SAMAP) process, a Client evaluates the security mechanisms that must be carried out in order to meet the SAM that was provided as part of the Discovery Process (DP). Based on the SAM obtained from the RLE, the Client may initiate a Security Achievability Enabling Process (SAEP).

Abstract: In some implementations, a device of a network may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request associated with enabling the UE to access a network, wherein the request includes a first routing indicator. The device may identify an authentication manager, of the network, that is mapped to the first routing indicator in an entry of a routing table of the network. The device may route the request to the authentication manager of the network to permit the authentication manager to authenticate the UE. The device may purge, based on the request being routed to the authentication manager, the entry to remove the first routing indicator from the routing table. The device may store, after purging the entry, a second routing indicator in the entry to map the second routing indicator to the authentication manager, wherein the second routing indicator is different from the first routing indicator.

Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically computing a segment routing policy for a segment routing for traffic engineering (SR-TE) path. For example, in a discontinuous SR network in which SR islands (e.g., groups of neighboring routers that are enabled for segment routing) are separated by one or more routers not enabled for segment routing, instead of returning a failure because one or more routers along a path are not enabled for SR, an ingress router may generate an SR-TE operations, administrations, and management (OAM) Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) traceroute packet send the packet to a first border router of the RSVP-enabled devices along a computed path to trigger the creation of a resource reservation Label Switched Path (LSP) through the RSVP-enabled devices. In this way, segment routed LSP may be established to tunnel through the resource reservation LSP for a SR-TE path used in an SR-TE policy.

A segment of persistent memory is allocated to an application. The persistent memory includes non-volatile memory that is accessible in a random access, byte-addressable manner. The segment of persistent memory is associated with first and second bits of a bitmap. The first bit is set indicating that the segment of persistent memory has been allocated.

The atomicity of the data in persistent memory may be determined based on the first bit and the second bit being set.
