  • Network slice selection in a mobile network
    Patent number: 10268474
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes an interface to receive a device identifier which uniquely identifies a first device, a processor to determine at least one characteristic of the first device from the device identifier, and select a first network slice based on the at least one characteristic of the first device, the first network slice including a first plurality of security services countering security risks associated with the at least one characteristic of the first device, wherein the interface is operative to send slice identifier information about the first network slice towards the first device. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

  • Steering of cloned traffic in a service function chain
    Patent number: 10225270
    Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to a service classifier configured for steering cloned traffic through a service function chain. The service classifier is configured to create a cloned data packet by creating a copy of a data packet; activate a mirror bit in a network service header (NSH) of the cloned data packet, the mirror bit identifying the cloned packet to a service function forwarder network element as a cloned packet; and transmit the cloned packet to the service function forwarder network element.
