Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and configuration management server device that obtain, via one or more communication networks, configuration data from network devices. A portion of the configuration data obtained from one or more of the network devices is in a first native format and another portion of the configuration data obtained from another one or more of the network devices is in a second native format different from the first native format. The configuration data in the first and second native formats is converted into a common format. Stored configuration rules are applied to the converted configuration data in the common format to determine when at least one of the configuration rules has been violated. A notification including an indication of the configuration rule is generated and output, via an interactive dashboard graphical user interface (GUI), when the determination indicates that the configuration rule has been violated.

Abstract: A method performed by a first communication device, for preparing a point-to-point, Pt2Pt, session with a second communication device is provided. The first communication device receives (202) from the second communication device, information about one or more communication protocol stacks that are supported by the second communication device for use in the Pt2Pt session. The first communication device obtains (208) a first communication protocol stack that is compatible with at least one out of the one or more protocol stacks that are supported by the second communication device. The first communication protocol stack will be used in the Pt2Pt session with the second communication device.

Abstract: A system and method determines a geographic position of a mobile device in communication with an IP-based wireless telecommunications network. A wireless connection between the mobile device and the IP-based wireless telecommunications network is established when the mobile device registers with a network controller (NC) through an access point (AP). When a geographical position is needed for the mobile device (e.g., a 911 call), messages are exchanged between the NC and the SMLC where the SMLC retrieves information from a database that is used to identify the geographic position of the mobile device. The database can store a variety of information related to mobile devices such as: last known position, IP address, MAC address, device or subscriber identifier, last CGI, etc. The geographical position is communicated back to the NC, which can then forward the position information to a switch for processing such as for 911 calls.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for processing and sending messages with low latency are described. An application server may obtain a triggered send request (TSR) message from triggered send (TS) subscriber. The TSR message may comprise TSR information and a TSR payload. The application server may directly inject the TSR payload to an available message server for processing when the TSR information indicates that a first priority is associated with the payload, and may notify the available message server that the TSR payload is available for processing when the TSR information indicates that a second priority is associated with the payload. The application server may also write the TSR payload and/or TSR information to a TSS queue of a TSS tenant space, and may write the payload to a non-relational datastore regardless of a priority associated with the payload. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
