Abstract: A communication method and apparatus are provided. In the method, an SMF sends first information to a first user plane network element, where the first information indicates the first user plane network element to send a report message to the SMF when receiving a first DNS response message that meets a first condition, and the report message includes information about an application server indicated by the first DNS response message or information about a data network corresponding to the application server. The first user plane network element sends the report message to the SMF when determining that the received first DNS response message meets the first condition.

Abstract: A bridge application receives a request from a remote device to access a support server. Subsequently, the bridge application established a secure connection between the bridge application and the support server and establishes a secure connection between the bridge application and the remote device. Once these secure connections are both established, communications are relayed between the remote device and the support server to effect a software change to network device. The secure connections are later terminated upon completion of the software change to the remote device. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of performing load balancing for a group of machines that are distributed across several physical sites. The method of some embodiments iteratively computes (1) first and second sets of load values respectively for first and second sets of machines that are respectively located at first and second physical sites, and (2) uses the computed first and second sets of load values to distribute received data messages that the group of machines needs to process, among the machines in the first and second physical sites. The iterative computations entail repeated calculations of first and second sets of weight values that are respectively used to combine first and second load metric values for the first and second sets of machines to repeatedly produce the first and second sets of load values for the first and second sets of machines.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide zero-configuration provisioning for modern storage networks such as those utilizing a non-volatile memory express over Fabric (NVMe-oF) system. In various embodiments, this is accomplished by leveraging discovery information, such as multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) information, to locate subsystems in a network and to explicitly and dynamically specify target destinations without a Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) client having to modify its routing table.

Abstract: A computing cluster can receive a request to perform a workload from a client. The request can include a service discovery agent. If the request is authenticated and permitted on the computing cluster, the service discovery agent is executed. Execution of the service discovery agent can lead to discovery of resource capabilities of the cluster and selection of the appropriate resource based on performance requirements. The selected resource can be deployed for execution of the workload.

Abstract: A method for configuring a communication link between a first node in a first of at least two networks and a second node in a second of at least two networks, wherein at least one of the first and second nodes is an automatable industrial device or an automatable industrial system, or a controller thereof. The at least two networks each individually form a homogeneous address space, but do not together form a homogeneous address space. A call is transmitted to configure the communication link between the first and second nodes, the call having routing path information specifying the routing path from the first node to the second node. The routing path information includes at least one identifier of each network or nodes to be traversed along the routing path, but not necessarily an identifier of the first network. The communication link is configured between the first and second nodes based on the routing path information.
