Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for an artificial intelligence work center for ERP data. One example method includes receiving scenario and model settings for an artificial intelligence model for a predictive scenario. A copy of the dataset is processed based on settings to generate a prepared dataset that is provided with the settings to a predictive analytical library. A trained model trained and evaluation data for the trained model is received from the predictive analytical library. A request is received to generate a prediction for the predictive scenario for a target field for a record of the dataset. The record of the dataset is provided to the trained model and a prediction for the target field for the record the dataset is received from the model. The prediction is included for presentation in a user interface that displays information from the dataset.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) over a selected reverse path are provided. A process, according to one implementation, include sending an echo request in a forward direction from an initiator node to a reflector node. For example, the initiator node and reflector node may be configured to operate in a network having no or different centralized controller that manages both the initiator node and reflector node. The echo request may be sent to the reflector node to discover a reverse path in a reverse direction from the reflector node to the initiator node. Also, the reverse path is discovered for the purpose of initiating a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) or Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Ping procedure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring the continuity between endpoints in a network are provided. A process, according to one implementation, includes entering a first list of one or more Segment Identifiers (SIDs) into a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) request packet, the first list of one or more SIDs defining a Segment-Routing Traffic-Engineering (SR-TE) forward path from a source node to a destination node. The process also includes entering a second list of one or more SIDs into the BFD request packet, the second list of one or more SIDs defining an SR-TE reverse path back from the destination node that eliminates involvement of a BFD reflector of the destination node. Also, the process includes entering a revised-BFD request into the BFD request packet, the revised-BFD request having a Your Discriminator field set to a discriminator value associated with the source node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing connectivity checks, such as Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD), are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes receiving, at a responding node, an entry configured to call for a modification of an identification element (from an old identifier value to a new identifier value) used for identifying the responding node with respect to other nodes of a network. The old and new identifier values are cached in a memory device. Also, the method includes providing a reply packet back to an initiating node in response to receipt of a request packet from the initiating node. The request packet is related to a connectivity check for testing the connectivity between the initiating node and the responding node. In addition, the request packet is able to identify the responding node by either the old identifier value or the new identifier value.

Abstract: A condition resolution system is provided for facilitating resolution of a condition for an entity. The system obtains an indication of a condition to be resolved for the entity, groups the entity with one or more other entities into a group of entities, and ascertains one or more options for resolving the condition using the condition to be resolved and option-related data associated with entities of the group of entities. The condition resolution system further evaluates the one or more options to select an option to resolve the condition for the entity, and determines a risk score for the selected option for resolving the condition. The risk score is based on one or more risk factors, and based on the risk score being acceptable, the system initiates an action based on the selected option to resolve the condition for the entity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyethylene composition comprising a base resin, wherein the base resin comprises (A) a first ethylene-1-butene copolymer fraction (A) having a 1-butene content of from 0.5 wt % to 7.5 wt %, based on the total weight amount of monomer units in the first ethylene-1-butene copolymer fraction (A), and a melt flow rate MFR2 in the range of from 1.0 to less than 50.0 g/10 min, determined according to ISO 1133 at a temperature of 190° C. and a load of 2.16 kg; and (B) a second ethylene-1-butene copolymer fraction having a higher 1-butene content as the first ethylene-1-butene copolymer fraction (B); wherein the base resin is polymerized in the presence of a single site catalyst system and has a density of from 913.0 to 920.0 kg/m3 and a 1-butene content of from 8.0 to 13.

Abstract: Systems and methods for incorporating a new channel-type value in the header of a Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) for Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) Layer-2 packets over Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks are provided. The channel-type value of the G-ACh header may be used for identification of the network-generated CFM Layer-2 packets. In one implementation, a system may include a processing device and a memory device, where the memory device may be configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to obtain a Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packet, encapsulate the CFM packet with Pseudo-Wire (PW) and Label-Switched Path (LSP) labels to create an expanded packet, and incorporate a specific channel-type value in a G-ACh header of the expanded packet to uniquely identify the CFM packet.

Abstract: A G.8032 misconfiguration detection method in a node includes receiving a mapped configuration from another node on a ring, wherein the mapped configuration includes a mapping of G.8032 instances to Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) identifiers configured at the another node; comparing the mapped configuration with a local configuration on the node; and, responsive to a mismatch in the comparing, providing one of a trap and a notification based on the mismatch.
