Abstract: A network device receives user-selected performance requirements for a network slice to be implemented in a network and receives user-selected resource isolation requirements for the network slice, where the user selected resource isolation requirements specify a level of isolation to be applied to resources of the network slice in the network. The network device initiates orchestration of the resources of the network slice such that the network slice satisfies the user-selected performance requirements and the resources of the network slice comply with the user-selected resource isolation requirements.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) marking framework. The disclosed framework provides mechanisms for managing how network requests are handled, on the client and/or server side (e.g., prior to transmission over the network, and/or upon transmission for handling by a server, for example). The disclosed framework provides functionality for dynamically determining and applying DSCP marking that enables networks, and associated network components, to maintain a consistent and reliable network experience by computationally managing how network traffic is managed and transmitted by and between network components.

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.

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.

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.
