Abstract: A method and system for network management on a 5G network. The method including: building a subscriber persona associated with a subscriber on the network; predicting a traffic load on a network function based on the subscriber's persona; and allocating the subscriber to a network function based on the traffic load and the subscriber's persona. The system including: a subscriber persona builder configured to build a subscriber persona associated with a subscriber on the network; an analysis module configured to predict a traffic load on a network function based on the subscriber's persona; and an allocation module configured to allocate the subscriber to a network function based on the traffic load and the subscriber's persona.

Abstract: A system and method for adaptive traffic path management, the method including: receiving at least one packet associated with a traffic flow; determining whether the traffic flow is a roaming traffic flow; determining application parameters associated with the at least one packet; determining attributes correlated with the traffic flow associated with the at least one packet; analyzing the application parameters and attributes to determine a Network Address Translation (NAT) pool for the traffic flow; determining if a modified NAT is needed based on the NAT pool for the traffic flow; if a modified NAT is needed, modifying the NAT for the at least one packet associated with the traffic flow; and sending the at least one packet and the traffic flow associated with the at least one packet to a path associated with the modified NAT.

Abstract: A system and method for managing access congestion in a computer network, the system and method including: determining a plurality of channels within the computer network via a subscriber channel module; determining a set of subscribers for each of the channels of the plurality of channels via the subscriber channel module; determining a congestion level of each of the channels of the plurality of channels via an analysis module; determining each subscriber's impact on the respective channel based on each subscriber's network usage via the analysis module; and determining a reallocation of the subscribers to balance the channels, based on the congestion level and each subscriber's network usage, via a distribution module.

Abstract: A method and system for subscriber awareness for traffic flows in a computer network. The system including: a Subscriber Awareness Control Plane (SACP) module configured to register as a network node and subscribe to at least one network function on the network; at least one processing module configured to request and receive information of traffic flow parameters and subscriber parameters for the traffic flows from the at least one network function; and a subscriber awareness module configured to map subscribers to traffic flows, based on the received traffic flow parameters and subscriber parameters. The method including: registering an SACP module as a network node; subscribing to at least one network functions; receiving information of traffic flow parameters and subscriber parameters for the traffic flows; and mapping subscribers to traffic flows, based on the traffic flow parameters and subscriber parameters.

Abstract: A system and method for handling Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) traffic flows on a computer network, and, in particular, encrypted VoIP traffic flows. The method including: collecting traffic flow data with respect to an IP session; collecting parameters associated with the IP session; determining whether the IP session is a VoIP session; correlating IP sessions having similar parameters to the collected parameters; and creating at least one Internet Protocol Detail Record (IPDR) or Call Detail Record (CDR) based on the correlated IP sessions. The system including: a collection module configured to collect traffic flow data; an analysis module configured to determine parameters and determine whether the IP session is a VoIP session; and a correlation module configured to correlate IP sessions having similar parameters; and create at least one Internet Protocol Detail Record (IPDR) or Call Detail Record (CDR) based on the correlated IP sessions.

Abstract: A painted steel article having a steel surface, being plated with a corrosion-resistant coating. The corrosion-resistant coating contains at least 90% zinc, cobalt, at least one trivalent or higher-valent metal, and at least one colloidal inorganic material. The paint is then electrodeposited directly on the corrosion-resistant coating.
