Abstract: Integrated application performance and infrastructure management is described. Performance of an application and utilization of provisioned infrastructure for supporting the application are proactively monitored. A determination is made that the application is not performing according to application dimensioning information or the provisioned infrastructure is being over utilized. In response to determining the provisioned infrastructure is being over utilized, an adjustment to the provisioned infrastructure to prevent over utilization is initiated. In response to determining the application is not performing according to the application dimensioning information, an alert indicating the application is not performing according to the application dimensioning information is generated. In response to the alert, the application dimensioning information is updated or the application is adjusted to perform according to the application dimensioning information.

Abstract: An alarm tracking method includes using an element of a network to initialize an alarm counter at the start of an interval, generate an alarm including element alarm information, increment the alarm counter in response to the alarm, store some or all of the element alarm information and the alarm counter in an alarm file, push the alarm to a network manager of the network, and at the end of the interval, push the alarm file comprising the stored element alarm information and the alarm counter to the network manager. The network manager is used to compare the alarm counter to a number of alarms received from the element and generated during the interval.

Abstract: At least one subsequent and correlated alarm is linked to a primary alarm. In an alarm list library, at least one subsequent and correlated alarm attribute is added to a primary alarm. The primary alarm having the alarm name attribute in the alarm list library is received at a network management system. The at least one subsequent and correlated alarm attribute is applied to the alarm name attribute associated with the alarm received at the network management system. The alarm name based on the alarm name attribute in the alarm list library associated with the alarm received at the network management system, and the at least one subsequent and correlated alarm indicated by the at least one subsequent and correlated alarm attribute linked to the alarm name attribute in the alarm list library associated with the alarm received at the network management system are displayed.

Abstract: Some examples relate to using a wireless packet for activating a wireless local area network capability on a user device. In an example, a user device receives a wireless packet comprising carrier network identification information from a low energy wireless broadcast enabled access point of a carrier network. In response to determining that the carrier network identification information in the wireless packet matches with carrier network information on the user device, the user device provides a notification message to activate a wireless local area network capability on the user device. After the wireless local area network capability is activated, the user device establishes a network connection with the access point and access the wireless local area network of the carrier network via the network connection.

Abstract: Some examples relate to a pre-shared key based virtual private network. In an example, a VPN server generates a unique pre-shared key (PSK) corresponding to an identity of a VPN client. The VPN server creates a mapping between the identity and the unique PSK of the VPN client, and stores it in a database. The VPN server shares the unique PSK with the VPN client. In response to receiving an IKE packet comprising an encrypted identity of the VPN client, the VPN server decrypts the encrypted identity of the VPN client from the IKE packet to determine the identity of the VPN client associated with the IKE packet. The VPN server retrieves the unique PSK corresponding to the identity of the VPN client associated with the IKE packet from the mapping stored in the database. The VPN server establishes a VPN connection with the VPN client.

Abstract: Logical dependencies are defined between alarm attributes. Alarm attributes associated with a mobile network are obtained. Dependencies between the alarm attributes are defined. At a network management system, alarms occurring in the mobile network are received. The dependencies are applied to the alarm attributes of alarms received at the network management system to generate defined combinations of the alarm attributes for the alarms. The alarms are presented on a user interface to address faults associated with the alarms based on the defined combination of alarm attributes.

Abstract: An automatic impact assessment on operations and change requests (CR) caused by bugs of open-source software (OSS) is described. A bug repository is created for storing information about bugs of OSS. A method of procedures (MOP) repository for storing procedures for addressing the bugs of the OSS is created. The procedures in the MOP repository for addressing the bugs and information about the bugs in the bug repository are analyzed to identify at least one bug resulting in an impact on the operation of the OSS. A MOP Risk Assessment Dashboard is provided for analyzing the procedures in the MOP repository and bugs information in the bug repository. The analysis is performed manually from the MOP Risk Assessment Dashboard, or are analyzed automatically using artificial intelligence. At least one bug is identified and displayed on the MOP Risk Assessment Dashboard.

Abstract: Some examples relate to a verifying the authenticity of IKE exchange messages in a VPN. In an example, a VPN client sends a VPN server profile request message to a VPN server for establishing a VPN connection. In response, the VPN server provides a VPN server profile to the VPN client. The VPN server profile comprises a cryptographic public key associated with a server certificate of the VPN server. The VPN client stores the VPN server profile and sends an IKE message to the VPN server. In response to the IKE message, the VPN server sends a signed IKE response message. Upon receipt, the VPN client verifies the authenticity of the signed IKE response message. If the signed IKE message is successfully verified, the VPN client sends an identity of the VPN client to the VPN server.

Abstract: Techniques for disabling a sensor are described. In an example, the techniques include receiving input data indicating a request to disable a sensor of the device. Based on the input data, the sensor is disabled by at least decoupling the sensor from a power source and decoupling the sensor from an input terminal of a processor of the device. The techniques also include sending, to a plurality of clients that are implemented on the device and that are configured to receive sensor data generated by the sensor, notification data indicating that the sensor is disabled. Further, the techniques include outputting, by a user interface of the device, an indication that the sensor is disabled.
