Abstract: An inter-bus hub, within a hierarchical data bus system, has a partitioned log that includes a first partition and a second partition, where the inter-bus hub is coupled to a first data bus residing in a first segment and to a second data bus residing in a second segment. The inter-bus hub aggregates, based on at least one set of rules, first data from the first data bus, and stores the first data in the first partition. The inter-bus hub aggregates, based on the at least one set of rules, second data from the second data bus, and stores storing the second data in the second partition. The inter-bus hub relays the first data from the first partition to a first destination and relays the second data from the second partition to a second destination.

Abstract: A Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) system reads, from a data bus coupled to the NFV system, Virtual Network Function (VNF) parameters published to the data bus by a new VNF. The NFV system publishes, to the data bus based on the VNF parameters, instructions to multiple components of the NFV system defining which VNF capabilities of the new VNF are to be managed, controlled, or monitored by which of the multiple NFV system components. The multiple components of the NFV system control, manage, or monitor the new VNF based on the published instructions. The data bus can include a Data Movement as a Platform (DMaaP) system that publishes and subscribes to streams of records.

Abstract: A messaging system for facilitating communications between a master device and a slave device of a packet transport system, and a method of operation thereof. In one embodiment, the messaging system includes a channel level detector that reads a level of a first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer of the slave device and compares the level to a threshold, and an event driven message generator that issues an event driven message to the master device when the level reaches the threshold.
