Abstract: A cable free networking device stacking system includes networking devices that are each configured to operate as part of a networking device stack, and at least one LiFi device included on each of the networking devices. A first LiFi device on a first networking device in the plurality of networking devices transmits networking device stack data communications by receiving first electrical data communications from the first networking device, converting the first electrical data communications to first optical data communications, and wirelessly transmitting the first optical data communications to a second LiFi device included on a second networking device in the plurality of networking devices.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for mediating concurrent control of a radio access network (RAN) network function by multiple different SMOs. A controller at the RAN network function can be adapted to initiate concurrent sessions between the network function and multiple different service management and orchestration entities (SMOs). The controller can mediate application of different SMO policies by initiating sessions with SMOs that have policy alignment, and/or by prioritizing among different SMO policies and applying higher priority SMO policies in the event of SMO policy conflicts. A variety of techniques are disclosed for initiating, managing, and if necessary terminating concurrent sessions between the network function and multiple different SMOs.

Abstract: Presented herein are embodiments for automatically generating a multi-fabric design. In one or more embodiments, a multi-fabric design generator system comprises a plurality of generative machine learning models that, given a graph specification for a desired multi-fabric network, generates a set of preliminary graphs. The preliminary graphs may be input into an ensemble model that comprises a reinforcement learning module, which may be trained to select the best components from the various models to create a tailored design according to specific design criteria and customer requirements or constraints. Thus, given a set of desired requirements (e.g., latency, resistance to congestion, cost, scale, bijection, etc.), the multi-fabric design generator system generates a multi-fabric design that fulfills that set of requirements; thereby providing the ability to generate customized designs for each customer based on their requirements (e.g., technical, business, and regulatory).
