Abstract: A disclosed method may include (i) receiving identifying input identifying a client receiving telecommunication service through a cloud-native mobile network that is operated by a mobile operator and that is implemented at least in part through a cloud computing platform that divides itself into at least a plurality of different zones and (ii) executing a programming script using the identifying input to further identify a zone, from among the plurality of zones, that contains an instance of a network function that is implemented on the cloud computing platform and that is actively serving the client.

Abstract: In response to receiving a service request from a second computing node to consume a service provided by a target network function, a first computing node determines whether the NRF is available to process a request from the first computing node to perform a discovery procedure to determine a computing node that implements the target network function. When the NRF is unavailable, the first computing node searches discovery records of previous discovery procedures performed by the first computing node and identifies a third computing node that implements the target network function. The first computing node forwards the service request to the identified third computing node.

Abstract: In response to determining that a first computing node is to consume a service provided by a target network function associated with a 5G core network, it is determined whether the NRF is available to process a request from the first computing node to perform a discovery procedure to determine a computing node that implements the target network function. When the NRF is unavailable, the first computing node searches discovery records of previous discovery procedures performed by the first computing node and identifies a second computing node that implements the target network function. The first computing node transmits a service request to the identified second computing node.

Abstract: A system causes a first user plane function (UPF) to transmit a first data packet to a domain name system (DNS) server and causes a second UPF to transmit a second data packet to the DNS server. The system determines a first latency value associated with the first data packet routing from the first UPF to the DNS server, and a second latency value associated with the second data packet routing from the second UPF to the DNS server. The system compares each of the first and second latency values with a threshold latency value. If it is determined that each of the first latency value and the second latency value is more than the threshold latency value, the system determines that the first latency value and the second latency value are caused by a network routing issue with respect to the DNS server and addresses the network routing issue.

Abstract: A system to distinguish internal network routing issues within a user plane function (UPF) from external routing issues via multi-domain system (DNS) servers probing is disclosed. The system determines latency in communication between a given UPF and each of a plurality of DNS servers. The system compares each latency with a threshold latency value. If it is determined that each of the latencies in communication between the UPF and each DNS server is more than the threshold latency values, the system may determine that there is an internal network routing issue at the UPF that caused the high latencies. If it is determined that a latency in communication between the UPF and a particular DNS server is more than the threshold latency value, the system may determine that the latency is caused by a network routing issue at the particular DNS server—which is external to the UPF.

Abstract: A system having a remote data center that broadcasts, to a various data centers, a cluster of software and a start instruction. The start instruction commands each of the various data centers to execute a master application when a processor in each of the various data centers extracts the master application from the cluster of software. The processor can extract an active pod and a standby pod from the cluster of software and determine whether or not an IP address conflict exists between the IP address of the active pod and the IP address of the standby pod.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured to communicate with multiple network components in a service-based architecture and comprising a memory and a processor. The memory stores multiple configuration commands; multiple local provisioning parameters; and a configuration script. Each local provisioning parameter is a backup copy of a corresponding configuration command. The processor is configured to generate a request to establish a communication session between a first network and a second network component. Further, the processor is configured to establish the communication session between the first network component and the second network component based at least in part upon a configuration command; determine that the communication session is lost based at least in part upon identifying an interruption in the communication session; and execute the configuration script to instruct the first network component to establish a backup communication session based at least in part upon a local provisioning parameter.
