Abstract: A management system includes circuitry to receive an operation request for a specific device of one or more devices from a communication terminal used by a user for who user authentication has been successfully performed by a management system. The one or more devices and the communication terminal are communicating with each other to execute an event managed by the management system. The circuitry stores, in a memory, operation identification information and access information in association with each other. The operation identification information identifies a device operation associated with the operation request. The access information is associated with the user and used to access external storage. The circuitry uploads data acquired by the specific device according to the device operation corresponding to the operation identification information to the external storage using the access information associated with the operation identification information.

Abstract: In some implementations, a user plane (UP) device may receive a control packet indicating a logout associated with a subscriber session. The UP device may store an indication of the logout associated with the subscriber session. The UP device may determine, after storing the indication, that the logout associated with the subscriber session has not been completed within a subscriber logout period. The UP device may transmit an error indication indicating that the logout has not been completed within the subscriber logout period. In some implementations, a control plane (CP) device may receive the error indication indicating that the logout associated with the subscriber session has not been completed. The CP device may process the logout based at least in part on receiving the error indication. The CP device may transmit, based on processing the logout, a logout notification associated with the logout.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of shared network resources and a central server connected by a network. The central server receives from a first user a request for accessing a network resource. The central server identifies a plurality of user groups the first user is part of and determines a number of other users from the identified user groups who have the closest association with the first user. For each closely associated user of the first user, the central server simulates access to the requested network resource by the respective user based on a user group that provides to the other user access to the network resource. Based on results of the simulating, the central server determines a user group that provides a closest network path to the network resource and generates a recommendation to add the first user to the determined user group.

Abstract: A congested network link is identified. Applications that are contributing to the congestion are also identified. The contribution of each of the identified applications to the congestion is then determined in order to determine whether the application's usage of the network should be throttled. A control signal is generated in order to indicate to the application that it is to perform an application-specific throttling operation to reduce the network bandwidth consumed by the application. If the application-specific throttling does not sufficiently reduce network congestion, a more aggressive throttling operation is performed.
