Abstract: A first network device is configured to: transmit data packets and poll messages to a second network device; and receive, in response to each poll message, at least one status message from the second network device. The at least one status message indicates which of the data packets sent before that poll message have been correctly received at the second network device and/or have been lost. The first network device is configured to adapt a rate of transmitting the poll messages based on a set of parameters. Further, a second network device is configured to: receive data packets from a first network device; and transmit at least one unsolicited status message to the first network device, in case of certain conditions.

Abstract: A resiliency controller may monitor execution of a plurality of services, each service of the plurality of services associated with a different container of a containerized computing system. In response to requests received from a plurality of connected client computing systems, the resiliency controller predicts, based on historical container operation information, a first predicted latency associated with the first request and a second predicted latency associated with the second request. The resiliency controller associates a first latency response to the first request and a second latency response to the second request, and initiates a selected latency response based on an indication that at least one of the first predicted latency or the second predicted latency has been exceeded.

Abstract: In one example, a Virtual Network Function Manager (VNFM) obtains, from a monitoring agent that is configured to monitor a Virtual Network Function (VNF) for a presence of a technical issue with the VNF, an indication of the presence of the technical issue with the VNF. The monitoring agent is deployed at a remote site. Based on the indication of the presence of the technical issue with the VNF, the VNFM determines a resolution for the presence of the technical issue with the VNF. The VNFM automatically implements the resolution for the presence of the technical issue with the VNF.
