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: A method implemented by a network edge node including adding a first header including a flags field and a data field including a first metadata to a first packet. The network edge node sets a first flag in the flags field of the first header to a first value to indicate that the first packet is a forward flow packet. The network edge node transmits the first packet towards a second network edge node. The network edge node receives a second packet including the first metadata in the data field and a second flag in the flags field set to the first value to indicate that the second packet is a reverse flow packet. The network edge generates a second metadata corresponding to receipt of the second packet and transmits an export message that includes the first metadata and second metadata toward a controller.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing network delivery of fifth generation (5G) edge application services by weighting network latency along with a load, capacity, and preference of an application server to determine where to transmit a new flow of packets. By using the weighted approach, network traffic can be equalized among multiple instances (e.g., applications) with the same address.

Abstract: A method used by an egress router is disclosed. The egress router receives a first packet from an initial ingress router addressed to an anycast address of an application server. The egress router transmits the first packet to the application server. The egress router receives a second packet from the application server. The second packet is addressed to the initial ingress router. The egress router inserts a sticky destination sub type length value (Sticky-Dst-SubTLV) into a destination option header of the second packet. The egress router transmits the second packet with the Sticky-Dst-SubTLV to the ingress router.

In an exemplary configuration, each virtual disk extent can be associated with state information that indicates whether the virtual disk extent is described by a virtual disk file. Under certain conditions the space used to describe a virtual disk extent can be reclaimed and state information can be used to determine how read and/or write operations directed to the virtual disk extent are handled. In addition to the foregoing, other techniques are described in the claims, figures, and detailed description of this document.

Abstract: A pump cartridge for mounting on a drive rotor includes a roller assembly having first and second hubs maintained in a spaced apart relationship and defining an axis, and a plurality of planetary rollers arranged in a circumferentially spaced orientation about the axis, the rollers mounted to the hubs displacement radially outward. One or more compressible tubing lines are interposed between the rollers and an interior wall of the pump cartridge housing. The housing and the first and second hubs collectively define a passageway through which a spreader on the drive rotor extends and may be rotated relative to the roller assembly to displace the rollers radially outward to thereby compress the tubing lines against the interior wall. A coupling feature on the first hub engages a roller driving feature of the rotor, so that rotation of the rotor causes rotation of the roller assembly about the axis.
