Abstract: A reliable network function virtualization (rVNF) system includes a virtualized network function (VNF) application instance that includes a plurality of physical VNF instances. A load balancer provides an interface between a client and the VNF application instance. A load balancer interface facilitates delivery of packets related to a particular user context to the same physical VNF instance. A communication interface facilitates communication between the client and the VNF application instance. Application storage stores session data associated with the VNF application instance.

Abstract: A method for adjusting discontinuous reception (DRX) behavior of a user equipment (UE) to conserve energy use includes exposing a DRX application programming interface (API) that enables DRX parameters to be changed and defining a conflict resolution policy that controls when requests to change the DRX parameters should be granted. The method also includes receiving, via the DRX API, a request from an application to change a DRX parameter for the UE. The UE is in wireless communication with a base station, and the application is configured to send data to the UE via a mobile network that comprises the base station. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on the conflict resolution policy, that the request should be granted and sending a command to the base station that causes the base station to communicate a new value of the DRX parameter to the UE.

Abstract: Techniques are described for balancing traffic load for networks configured in multi-rooted tree topologies, in the presence of link failures. Maximum flows (through minimum cuts) are calculated for subgraphs that incorporate effective link capacities on links between source and destination nodes. Effective link capacities may be determined that take into account link failures, as well as sharing of current available link capacities by multiple nodes. Traffic is balanced while simultaneously fully utilizing available link capacities, even available link capacities on partially failed links (e.g., partially failed Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs)).

Abstract: In some cases, a network monitoring system may determine an operating or health condition of a node or connection link in a network (e.g., a datacenter network) by preparing an encapsulated data packet according to a tunneling protocol. Depending on a result of routing the encapsulated data packet, the network monitoring system determines whether the node or connection link is functioning normally or is experiencing an issue such as overloading or malfunctioning.
