Abstract: System, device, and method of cellular congestion management without cell awareness. A system defines applications as important or non-important. The system measures and monitors parameters related to cellular traffic, and remotely generates an estimate that a first User Equipment (UE) is experiencing cellular traffic congestion. A Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Engine determines that the first UE is utilizing a first communication flow associated with an Important Application, and is also utilizing a second communication flow associated with a Non-Important Application. Filtering pass-through bitrate limits are enforced, selectively and remotely, on communication flows of the first UE, by enforcing a reduced bitrate limit on the second communication flow that is associated with a Non-Important Application, and by not enforcing a reduced bitrate limit on the first communication flow that is associated with an Important Application.

Abstract: Techniques are described for a network providing application workload routing and application workload interworking. For example, a controller may move or replicate an application workload hosted on an original edge compute to a different edge compute in a different edge data center that is locally accessible by the device and route the network traffic to the new edge compute using paths mapped to respective traffic classes.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a traffic control method and a related apparatus. When receiving a publish packet sent by a client, a serving end queries a window value of a flow control window of the client, and compares the window value with a preset window threshold. The serving end rejects the publish packet when the window value is equal to the window threshold, or when the window value is greater than the window threshold, decreases the window value by a preset value, and processes the publish packet. Thus, the problem that the serving end cannot process, in time, a message sent by the client because the client sends the message too fast when the message is transmitted between the client and the serving end, can be avoided so that communication can be normally performed.

Abstract: A method is implemented by a switch in a software defined networking (SDN) network to trace packets in a packet processing pipeline of the switch. The method includes creating a copy of a received packet to function as a trace packet.

The method further includes sending, at an egress table, the trace packet to a controller along with the recorded route of the trace packet.

Abstract: A method for establishing a tunnel between local gateways, and a gateway are disclosed. The method includes: determining, by an RGW, that UE is handed over from an S-LGW to a T-LGW, where before the UE is handed over, a packet of a local service of the UE is forwarded by the S-LGW between the UE and an application server of the local service, and the local service includes a same service that is deployed on the S-LGW and that is accessed by the UE before and after the UE is handed over; sending, by the RGW to the S-LGW and the T-LGW respectively, a first request message and a second request message to request to establish a tunnel, where the tunnel is used to transmit the packet of the local service between the S-LGW and the T-LGW; and establishing the tunnel between the S-LGW and the T-LGW.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for a control plane approach for dense topologies that focusses on discovering shared ECMP groups in the control plane independent of per-prefix learning and then learning prefixes via these shared ECMP groups instead of learning prefixes via one next-hop at a time. In dense topologies, this approach helps minimize BGP path scale, corresponding signaling and enables control plane scaling that is an order of magnitude higher than a traditional eBGP control plane. During link and node topology changes, the described control plane approach enables control plane signaling that is prefix independent and an order of magnitude lower. A control plane approach to path-list sharing and prefix independent signaling on link and node topology changes enables prefix independent convergence (PIC) in scenarios that would not be possible otherwise with traditional FIB driven path-list sharing and PIC.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally discloses a multicast capability configured to support multicast that is based on use of Bit Indexed Explicit Replication (BIER). The multicast capability may be configured to support deployment of BIER into a network in a manner that continues to support use of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) for multicast control within the network.

The multicast capability may be configured to support deployment of BIER into a network in a manner supporting stitching of traditional PIM access networks via a BIER core network.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) includes a transmitter configured to, in a case that, at a time when a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) is changed, a first timer is running for a certain Data Network Name (DNN) and an old PLMN but that a second timer is not running for the DNN or a new PLMN and is not deactivated, be capable of transmitting a PDU session establishment request message for the DNN or no DNN in the new PLMN without stopping the first timer for the DNN and the old PLMN. Thus, a communication control method is provided that is used in a case that, in 5G congestion control in which multiple types of congestion control are applied, the PLMN is changed during application of the congestion control.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating synthetic representations of a network and performing path computations using the synthetic representations. A model of the network is created including different representations for different regions of the network based on the network mesh patterns (e.g., a sparse mesh representation, a Clos mesh representation, and a flat mesh representation). The generated representations include synthetic, aggregated nodes and/or links in the represented region that are determined based on different processes according to the type of mesh in the region. Path computations are performed for each representation (e.g., in parallel), then joined to form end-to-end paths between a source and a destination. The computed paths may be used to select a path for routing data through the network.

Abstract: A method for performing virtual private cloud (VPC) routing across multiple public cloud environments. In an embodiment, the method creates a first virtual routing agent (VRA) for a first VPC of a first public cloud. The method sends a registration request to a VRA controller, wherein the registration request comprises a data structure that includes communication parameters of the first VRA. The method receives the communication parameters of other VRAs for other VPCs located in other public cloud environments from the VRA controller. The method uses the communication parameters of the other VRAs for overlay routing of data packets from the first VPC of the first public cloud to other VPCs of other public clouds via the other VRAs of the other VPCs.
