Abstract: A method for transporting a Multi-Transport Network Context Identifier (MTNC-ID) over a Segment Routing Version 6 (SRV6) header for fifth generation (5G) transport. The method receives a data packet that includes an MTNC-ID in a data plane header of the data packet. The MTNC-ID is extracted from the data plane header of the data packet, and is encapsulated in an argument field in a last segment of a segment list (SL[0]) of the SRV6 header of the data packet. An instruction for forwarding the MTNC-ID is encapsulated within a function field in the SL[0] of the SRH of the data packet. The data packet is transmitted over a SRV6 enabled data plane domain along a forwarding path corresponding to the MTNC-ID.

Abstract: A method for transporting a Multi-Transport Network Context Identifier (MTNC-ID) over a Segment Routing Version 6 (SRV6) enabled data plane for fifth generation (5G) transport. The method includes setting an indicator in a flags field of a SRV6 header of a data packet that an MTNC-ID type-length-value (TLV) is included in a TLV field of the SRV6 header. The MTNC-ID TLV for the MTNC-ID is inserted in the TLV field of the SRV6 header of the data packet. The data packet with the SRV6 header containing the MTNC-ID is transmitted over the SRV6 enabled data plane to a next node along a forwarding path corresponding to the MTNC-ID.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for controlling a learning machine used in a drilling operation to drill a well into a subsurface formation includes receiving, via a video stream, an image of debris including cuttings from the drilling operation. The method may further include generating a first mask on the image to identify the cuttings in the debris, generating, via instance segmentation, a second mask for each of the identified cuttings, determining, based on the second masks, one or more properties of each of the cuttings, and associating each of the identified cuttings to a depth interval of the subsurface formation based, at least in part, on the properties of each of the identified cuttings and at least one property of the drilling operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to an online security center are provided. For example, a processor may receive authentication information via a first website, a first application, or both. The authentication information may be associated with an account registered with a second website, a second application, or both. The processor may store the authentication information. The processor may receive input of a selection related to managing a stored password of the authentication information. The processor may automatically generate a new password based at least in part on one or more password specifications that enhance security of the new password, a configurable time limit for changing the authentication information, or some combination thereof. The processor may then display a recommendation including the new password, automatically change the stored password to the new password, or some combination thereof, based on the input.
