Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method for synchronization of a first set of policy terms with a second set of policy terms by performing iteration on the second set of policy terms, the method comprising the steps of verifying whether there is a path in a directed linear graph for a first set of policy terms connecting a preceding term in the second set of policy terms to a current term in the second set of policy terms and dropping the current term in the second set of policy terms from a directed graph for a second set of policy terms and keeping the subsequent term in the second set of policy terms.

Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and/or apparatus to manage the plurality of network elements within a network by ranking some or all of the alarm types according to respective measurements and performing a visualization function configured to provide image representative data including alarm type representative objects arranged in accordance with said network element ranking.

Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method of timing the delay of a resynchronization at a network management device, the method including defining an interval length; determining that a resynchronization is required; starting a first timer; determining the number of incoming event messages over a period of time the length of the interval; determining the number of incoming event messages exceeds a threshold amount; starting a second timer; and repeating the step of determining the number of incoming event messages over a period of time until the number of incoming event messages is less than the threshold amount.

Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method for detecting that messages are incoming to a networked device above a target rate, the method including recording a timestamp for at least three representative samples of messages arriving at the networked device; calculating the duration of a focus group including one or more of the representative samples, wherein the target rate is a number r messages over a number m seconds and the focus group represents r/2 messages; and determining the duration of the focus group is less than m seconds.

Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related network node including one or more of the following: receiving, at the event bus from a sender, an indication of an event; identifying a plurality of listeners to which event notifications should be pushed based on the event; determining a sorted order for the plurality of listeners; and pushing, by the event bus, event notifications to the plurality of listeners in an order specified by the sorted order.

Abstract: The invention is directed to providing communications session management using an adaptive keep-alive reservation technique responsive to network conditions.

Abstract: The invention is directed to providing an improved method of determining available identifiers (IDs) in a database, especially in the context of using available IDs for provisioning services in a telecommunications system. The method performs a database query for a range of IDs and stores candidate IDs in a local pre-fetch ID set.
