Abstract: Examples include techniques to monitor control plane (CP) network traffic. Examples include monitoring CP traffic between one or more user equipment (UEs) wirelessly coupled to a network and a virtual network function arranged to process user plane (UP) traffic for an application service provided to the one or more UEs to determine whether at least a portion of the UP traffic needs to be routed to a different VNF for UP processing.

Abstract: Virtual Network Functions (VNF) key performance indicator values can be predicted based on data analytics with an integration of data processing techniques and machine learning algorithms to allow proactive actions to provide Network Functions Virtualization service assurance.

Abstract: A device can determine scenario information associated with a plurality of route planning scenarios. The scenario information can include information that describes, for each route planning scenario of the plurality of route planning scenarios, a condition or a configuration based on which a respective route plan is to be generated. The device can calculate, based on a plurality of route plans corresponding to the plurality of route planning scenarios, a set of metrics associated with the plurality of route planning scenarios. The set of metrics can be calculated based on a single user interaction with a user interface. The device can provide information associated with the set of metrics. The providing the information associated with the set of metrics can cause an action, associated with at least one route plan of the plurality of route plans, to be automatically performed.

Abstract: A service provider (SP) network device or system can enable a WiFi protected access 2 (WPA2) pass-through with a user equipment (UE) and define various partitions between a physical access point (pAP) and a virtual AP (vAP) based on virtual network function(s) (VNFs). The WPA2 pass-through can be an interface connection that passes through a computer premise equipment (CPE) or wireless residential gateway (GW) without modifying the data traffic and also enable different packet sizes, even if the vAP or data VNF at the SP network device is not configured to process the size, by fragmenting and defragmenting at least one of: a packet frame from the UE to the vAP, or from the vAP to the UE based on fragmentation criteria.

Abstract: A computing apparatus, including: a processor; a pointer to a counter memory location; and a lazy increment counter engine to: receive a stimulus to update the counter; and lazy increment the counter including issuing a weakly-ordered increment directive to the pointer.

Abstract: An apparatus, including: a hardware platform; logic to execute on the hardware platform, the logic configured to: receive a batch including first plurality of packets; identify a common attribute of the batch; perform batch processing on the batch according to the common attribute; generate a hint for the batch, the hint comprising information about the batch to facilitate processing of the batch; and forward the batch to a host platform network interface with the hint.

Abstract: Technologies for reordering network packets on egress include a network interface controller (NIC) configured to associate a received network packet with a descriptor, generate a sequence identifier for the received network packet, and insert the generated sequence identifier into the associated descriptor. The NIC is further configured to determine whether the received network packet is to be transmitted from a compute device associated with the NIC to another compute device and insert, in response to a determination that the received network packet is to be transmitted to the another compute device, the descriptor into a transmission queue of descriptors. Additionally, the NIC is configured to transmit the network packet based on position of the descriptor in the transmission queue of descriptors based on the generated sequence identifier. Other embodiments are described herein.
