Abstract: Complex systems, such as those comprising processing, data storage, and communication resources for processing a plurality of communication and data processing events and types of events, are often caught unaware of outside events or how to respond to such outside events. Providing a system that self-configures in response to external events enables such systems to be proactive in their operations to address increased activity and/or types of activity in response to an external event. The system then self-evaluates, which may identify overages or shortfalls, such that the system self-learns and response more appropriately over time.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media which have instructions stored for execution on a processor, for automating the commissioning of a transport network element within a network. A system configured according to this disclosure can be an Automated Commissioning Tool which can initiate communications with a network element on the network. The Automated Commissioning Tool can then retrieve updated firmware corresponding to the network element and configure the network element to have the updated firmware. Finally, the Automated Commissioning Tool can determine, from a network plan, a first port on the network element which is to be connected via a cross-connect to a second port on the network element and establish the cross-connect on the network element. At this point the network element may be commissioned to operate as a transport network element within the network.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a load-balancer in a computer network receives an end-device request for a particular network-based resource, and determines a popularity of the particular network-based resource being requested in comparison to other network-based resources requested by end devices in the computer network. In response to the particular network-based resource being popularly requested, the load-balancer forwards the end-device request into a Fog network to cause the Fog network to respond to the end-device request with particular network-based resource. Conversely, in response to the particular network-based resource not being popularly requested, the load-balancer forwards the end-device request into a Cloud network to cause the Cloud network to respond to the end-device request with particular network-based resource.

More particularly, the monitoring of network traffic of the virtual machines may include: logging network addresses of the virtual machines of the network; combining logged network addresses with information about suspending or resuming virtual machines based on filtering rules being provided for such combination; and sending information about the network addresses of active and suspended virtual machines for virtual network adapters assigned to the virtual machines to the virtual machine manager.

Abstract: A balanced distribution of IP addresses across nodes of a cluster is performed during distributed IP management, wherein IP addresses are dynamically procured and assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. In one aspect, nodes that participate in distributed IP management can request for IP addresses only if they are determined to be serviceable. A subscription level of a node can be determined based on a maximum number of IP address that can be claimed/owned by the node. As an example, the maximum number of IP address can be evaluated based on a total number of serviceable nodes within the cluster. IP address redistribution can be facilitated to ensure that subscription levels of the nodes are at an optimal level.

In a scenario where the network computing device becomes unavailable, another network computing device can use the URLs and other channel information that may be stored in the database, to handle messages.

Abstract: A dispersed storage network (DSN) include multiple distributed computing systems, each including a DSN memory. A global scheduling module included in a coordination unit identifies a number of the distributed computing systems included in a subset of the distributed computing systems. For each distributed computing system included in the subset, the scheduling module selects a connection time based, at least in part, on the number of distributed computing systems operating in the subset. The connection time selected for a particular distributed computing system specifies a recurring time period to be used by that system for initiating connections with the global coordination unit. The scheduling module issues, to the distributed computing systems, scheduling messages that include information specifying a connection times for particular distributed computing systems.
