Abstract: A Virtual Network Function (VNF) is provided for deployment in a Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI). First, an input is obtained that includes a description of available software components, configuration requirements specifying service types to be provided by the VNF, and infrastructure information specifying resources provided by the NFVI. The infrastructure information includes characteristics of virtual machines (VMs). For each service type, a VNF component (VNFC) configuration is generated. The generated VNFC configuration optimizes usage of the resources and satisfies requested service availability. A VNF configuration is formed that includes a collection of VNFC configurations created for the service types. The VNF configuration is delivered to a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) system for the deployment of VNFC instances on the VMs thereby providing the VNF.

Abstract: Power allocation in printing devices is disclosed. Independent load requests are received from printing device heater systems. A first load request is received from a first heater system and a second load request is received from a second heater system. Power grants are allocated based on a general power arbitration of a power source in response to the independent load requests. The power grants include a first power grant based on the first load request and a second power grant based on the second load request. The power grants are adjusted based on a contextual printing condition. The power grants are adjusted to apportion a measure of the second power grant to the first power grant rather than provide the measure of the second power grant to the second heater system if a print substance density is outside a selected print substance density threshold.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor detects a first RF signal of the RF signals received by the transceiver from a first access point (AP), and determines whether an energy level for the first RF signal is above a energy level threshold. If so, the processor determines whether basic service set (BSS) color of the first RF signal is the same as BSS color of a second RF signal from a second AP. If not, the RF signal is coming from a different network. The processor calculates distance to the second AP, determines and configures receive sensitivity energy level threshold based on the calculated distance. If the energy level of the first RF signal is less than the receive sensitivity energy level threshold, the processor continues to receive RF signals from the second AP, and continue to reject RF signals from the interfering network.

Abstract: Devices, computer-readable media and methods are disclosed for determining reachability for a wavelength connection in a telecommunication network. For example, a processor deployed in a telecommunication network may calculate a fiber loss on a link in the telecommunication network using optical power measurements and determine that a destination node of a wavelength connection is not reachable via a path that includes the link based upon the fiber loss of the link that is calculated. In one example, the determining is based upon a number of links in the path, an effective fiber loss for each link in the path, a penalty for nodes in the path, and an acceptable loss value. The processor may further perform a remedial action in response to determining that the destination node of the wavelength connection is not reachable via the path.
