Abstract: Connectivity is enabled between a first and second isolated network using a virtual traffic hub that includes a decision master node responsible for determining a routing action for a packet received at the hub. At the hub, a determination is made that a particular domain name system (DNS) message being directed to a first resource in the first isolated network is to include an indication of a second resource in the second isolated network. The second resource is assigned a network address within a private address range of the second isolated network, which overlaps with a private address range being used in the first isolated network. The hub causes a transformed version of the network address to be included in the DNS message delivered to the first resource.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to deadlock-free traffic rerouting in software-defined networking (“SDN”) networks. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a centralized SDN controller can determine that a packet flow along a path within at least a portion of a network is to be rerouted from the path to a new path. The centralized SDN controller can initiate a reroute of the packet flow to the new path. The centralized SDN controller can request a bandwidth for the new path. The bandwidth can be determined such that bandwidth oversubscription on the new path is avoided. In response to the packet flow settling on the new path, the centralized SDN controller can adjust a requested bandwidth of the packet flow to a desired value to complete the reroute of the packet flow from the path to the new path.

Abstract: A method and a device in a User Equipment and a base station are provided. The UE receives first information and monitors a first signaling in M Resource Element (RE) sets. The first information determines the M RE sets. The UE assumes that P modulation symbol groups are one-to-one mapped to P RE sets of the M RE sets. One blind detection for the first signaling is performed on the P RE sets. Modulation symbols obtained by modulating the bits in a first bit sequence constitute a first modulation symbol set sequentially. The bits in the first bit sequence are sequentially arranged according to an output of a channel encoder. The first modulation symbol set is successively divided into the P modulation symbol groups, each consisting of X modulation symbols. Relative positions of the P RE sets in frequency domain are related to at least one of {M, X}.
