Abstract: This disclosure is directed to system to monitor and control data flow in a network. At least one device in a core network may be responsible for charging functions related to the data requests. During certain high usage scenarios (e.g., emergencies, special events, etc.), it may be possible for the charging system to be overwhelmed. For example, a policing system may be implemented in the core network to at least manage the flow of requests to the charging system. The policing system may monitor and control request flow to the charging system based on at least one policy. When a request is determined to violate a policy, the policing system may take corrective action to prevent the charging system from being overwhelmed. For example, the policing system may block the request, divert the request to another charging system that may have available capacity, etc.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing resources to deliver a network service in a distributed configuration. A method includes an operation for identifying resources for delivering a network service, the resources being classified by geographic area. Further, the method includes operations for selecting service agents to configure the identified resources, each service agent to manage service pools for delivering the network service across at least one geographic area, the service agents being selected to provide configurability for the service pools. The method further includes operations for sending configuration rules, to the service agents, configured to establish service pools for delivering the network service across the geographic areas. Service traffic information is collected from the service agents, and the resources are adjusted based on the collected service traffic information.

Abstract: A Service Routing Agent and methods are disclosed that classify and route data service requests. One embodiment includes a control circuit and at least one orchestrator, processor, and service handler circuit. The control circuit performs a process to: receive a configuration of at least one service handler circuit, initialize a list of service handler circuits and associated applications, program the at least one processor to listen for data service requests associated with the application, receive a data service request, and determine whether a service handler circuit associated with the application has been activated; when the service handler circuit has been activated, forwards the data service request to the service handler circuit, and when the service handler circuit has not been activated, request that the service handler circuit be activated, and then forwards the data service request to the service handler circuit. The Service Routing Agent reports updated traffic statistics.

Abstract: A method for monitoring health of processes includes a compute device having a performance monitoring parameter manager and an analytics engine. The compute device accesses performance monitoring parameters associated with a monitored process of the compute device. The compute device samples one or more hardware counters associated with the monitored process and applies a performance monitor filter to the sampled one or more hardware counters to generate hardware counter values. The compute device performs a process fault check on the monitored process based on the hardware counter values and the performance monitoring parameters.
