The TDM scheduler includes: N current count value generators configured to serve the N packet transmission requesters respectively, and generate N current count values according to parameters of the N packet transmission requesters, a previous scheduling result generated by the EDD scheduler previously, and a predetermined counting rule; and an earliest due date (EDD) scheduler configured to generate a current scheduling result for determining the service order according to the N current count values and a predetermined urgency decision rule, wherein an extremum of the N current count values relates to one of the N packet transmission requesters, and the EDD scheduler selects this requester as the one to be served preferentially.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the selection of an edge gateway or edge for processing a packet. In one implementation, a first edge may receive a packet and hash addressing information in the packet to select a second edge to process the packet. The first edge may further forward the packet to the second edge, permitting the second edge to process the packet. Once processed, the second edge may forward the packet to a destination host computing system and notify the host computing system to use the second edge for response packets directed at a source internet protocol (IP) address in the packet.

Abstract: A method and system for updating physical location data associated with a user data-communications endpoint device is implemented in a variety of embodiments. In one such embodiment, the endpoint device stores an identifier for a packet-communicating device which is subject to changing. The endpoint device has an interface for communication over the Internet via the packet-communicating device and uses a circuit-implemented method for prompting an update of physical location data associated with the endpoint device. In response to a communications connectivity-state transition and a change in the stored identifier, the endpoint device facilitates an update to the physical location data associated with the data-communications service.

Abstract: A new approach is proposed to support appliance configuration identification and profiling management. An appliance scanning component running on an appliance is configured to scan, examine, and determine current configuration of the appliance including hardware components and/or software components installed on the appliance. The configuration of the appliance is then provided to an appliance profiling engine running on a server, wherein the appliance profiling engine hashes the configuration of the appliance into a unique identifier of the appliance and look up a model of the appliance from an appliance profiling database using the unique identifier as a key. If the configuration of the appliance is not found, the appliance profiling engine identifies discrepancies between the configuration of the appliance and other appliances in the appliance profiling database to determine if the appliance is a new model, a revision of an existing model, or is simply misconfigured.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that allows for uplink resource reuse. A user device is provided an uplink resource for a first data type. If the user device does not have enough data of the first data type to fill the granted uplink resource, the user device fills the granted uplink resource with a second data type.

Abstract: A communications system is described in which user devices are allocated sub-carriers on which to transmit uplink data to a base station. ACK/NACK messages for the data transmitted on the uplink are then transmitted by the base station on sub-carriers that depend on the sub-carriers used to carry the uplink data. A direct mapping function is preferably used to determine the sub-carriers to be used for the ACK/NACK messages from the uplink sub-carriers. In another embodiment, the ACK/NACK messages are transmitted to the user devices on sub-carriers that are previously identified to the user devices, preferably by transmitting one or more index values to the user device in a control channel thereof.

In response to the resolving, the RR device forwards the route to a third network device (e.g., identified by an export route target of the RR device).
