Abstract: A system and method for automatically scaling consumer servers in a data processing system. To build an automatic scaling system, the present disclosure allows consumers to obtain additional information, e.g., the number of events that await to be read from an aggregator when receiving an event from the aggregator. This additionally obtained number provides a direct gauge for the data processing system to determine when the consumers are over-provisioned, i.e., when the number of events left to be read is close to zero, as well as when the consumers are under-provisioned, e.g., when the number of events left to be read continues to increase. As a result, the consumers can be automatically scaled to handle the dynamic data processing demand while providing optimal resource allocation.

Abstract: In one illustrative example, a user plane function (UPF) may detect initial traffic for an application for a user equipment (UE) for which no current dedicated Quality of Service (QoS) flow is established. In response, the UPF may send, to a control plane function, a message which indicates a request for creating a dedicated QoS Flow for traffic for the application for the UE. The message may include flow metadata and an application identifier obtained in detecting the initial traffic. A QoS Flow may then be created for the traffic based on a selected QoS policy associated with the application identifier. Subsequently, the UPF may determine that a measured time period of traffic inactivity for the QoS Flow is outside a limit set by a threshold. Based on the determining, the UPF may send, to the control plane function, a message which indicates a request for deleting the QoS Flow.

In the path switching process, an ECMP table includes a first ECMP index of a first path group and a second ECMP index of a second path group; when all paths in the first path group have failed, a path group identifier corresponding to the first ECMP index may be changed from valid to invalid in the ECMP table, indicating that all paths in the first path group are unavailable.
