Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for monitoring resource usage statistics. During operation, the system obtains a set of expiration times associated with usage of the resource. Next, the system selects a first limit to a number of time slots for use in calculating usage statistics for the resource based on a memory efficiency associated with calculating the usage statistics for the resource. The system then populates, up to the first limit, a set of time slots after a current time with the expiration times. When a time slot in the set of time slots includes the current time, the system uses a subset of the expiration times in the time slot to update one or more usage statistics for the resource. Finally, the system outputs the one or more usage statistics for use in managing the usage of the resource.

Abstract: A method and management node for deciding ports suitable to be communicatively connected to each other in a communications network. The communications network comprises an available port communicatively connected to the communications network, and a discovered port that is discovered as being communicatively connected to the communications network. The management node obtains Information associating at least the available port and the discovered port with respective one or more attributes and with a respective attribute identifier identifying the respective one or more attributes. The management node receives, from a port discovering network node, a message comprising the attribute identifier associated with the discovered port. The management node decides that the available port is suitable to be communicatively connected with the discovered port based on that the respective one or more attributes are considered matching.
