  • Publication number: 20250184391
    Abstract: A system described herein may receive a request to configure a load-balanced service in a containerized environment. The system may include an indication of a particular network with which the load-balanced service should communicate. The system may generate a load balancer proxy node. Generating the load balancer proxy node may include associating the load balancer proxy node with a first interface associated with the particular network and with a second interface associated with the containerized environment. The system may generate a set of service node instances, which may include associating the set of service node instances with a third interface associated with the containerized environment. The system may associate the second interface with the third interface and may deploy, in response to the request, the set of load balancer proxy node instances and the set of service node instances to the containerized environment.

  • Patent number: 11855977
    Abstract: A device may determine that a network function of a network is to use a secure communication protocol. The network function may be configured to facilitate communication via the network. The device may identify a component of a resource configuration that is to instantiate the network function. The device may instantiate, using the component, a proxy for the network function. The device may configure the proxy to obtain a certificate that is associated with the secure communication protocol. The device may cause the proxy to use the certificate to communicate with another proxy that is associated with the network function to perform an operation associated with the network function.

  • Patent number: 10264619
    Abstract: A selection server device may receive a first registration request and determine that a user device is associated with a non-local call service control function (CSCF) server device and that the user device is located outside of a service area associated with the non-local CSCF server; output a non-preferred server indication to the non-local CSCF server device to cause the non-local CSCF server device to be disassociated with the user device; receive a second registration request from the user device; determine that the user device is not associated with any CSCF server; and output the second registration request to a local CSCF server device, associated with a service area in which the user device is located, to cause the local CSCF server device to register the user device with the local CSCF server device.
