Abstract: In one embodiment, a prediction agent process collects travel information of a vehicle, and determines a profile of the vehicle, the profile indicative of one or more real-time resource requirements of the vehicle. The prediction agent process also predicts a path of the vehicle based on the travel information, and determines a next resource node along the predicted path having one or more real-time resources corresponding to the one or more real-time resource requirements of the vehicle. After further predicting a time of arrival of the vehicle being within range of the next resource node based on the travel information, the prediction agent process informs the next resource node of the profile of the vehicle and the predicted time of arrival, the informing causing the next resource node to operate the one or more real-time resources for the vehicle for the predicted time of arrival.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises determining access network conditions by a network device in an access network, the access network providing communications between a client device and a destination reachable via a data network; selecting, by the network device based on the access network conditions, one of a plurality of coding methods for network traffic between the client device and the destination, including selecting coding parameters for the one coding method; and causing, by the network device, coding to be executed on the network traffic, on behalf of the client device, according to the one coding method and the selected coding parameters.
