Abstract: A computer-implemented method for network switch auto-commissioning includes generating, automatically, a device configuration file that includes parameters and initial settings for a network device; generating, automatically, a delta file that includes parameters and initial settings for a mobile backhaul (MBH) node communicatively connected to the network device; transmitting the device configuration file to the network device; obtaining an IP address pool for the network device and connected network devices; and registering the network device with one or more network nodes.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an application manifest file from an application; mapping application manifest file parameters from the application manifest file to an IP manager; determining services available based on the mapped application manifest file parameters; and deploying the application on one or more virtual machines (VMs) or one or more containers.
