Abstract:
A method and system for flow control of GFP-encapsulated client data frames over SONET/SDH transport networks is described. Transport interfaces, in the form of port cards, have FIFO buffers for receiving the GFP frames. In acknowledgment of the received frames, a transmitting transport interface receives an acknowledgement in form of a returned frame sequence number tag along with the available capacity in bytes of the buffer of the receiving transport interface. With a continuous update of buffer capacity and tracking the number of bytes in transit to the receiving transport interface, the transmitting transport interface maximizes the utilization of the channel through the SONET/SDH transport network, even with dropped frames or dropped acknowledgment tags.

International Classification:
H04W 28/24 H04W 24/10 H04B 17/318 H04W 4/38
Abstract:
Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for network coverage management of a network deployed at a customer site involves at a cloud server connected to the network, receiving network coverage information of the network deployed at the customer site from wireless sensors deployed at the customer site and at the cloud server, automatically determining a service-level agreement (SLA) network coverage metric based on the network coverage information.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of network deployment involves at a cloud server, determining a planned network design for a network to be deployed at a customer site, at the cloud server, receiving network device information and location information of a network device after the network device is deployed at the customer site, and at the cloud server, automatically performing network deployment deviation detection for the network device based on the planned network design and the network device information and the location information of the network device.

International Classification:
G06F 9/50 H04L 12/24 G06F 9/455 H04L 29/08
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a network functions virtualization infrastructure can be managed in a decentralized fashion. A front end can receive a request to provision a virtualized network function. The front end can create service descriptors for the request according to the virtualized network function, the service descriptors comprising a hierarchy of information elements organized based on distributed back-end agents operable to provision and manage the virtualized network function. The front end can store the service descriptors in a distributed data store.

International Classification:
H04L 29/08 H04L 12/26 H04L 29/12
Abstract:
Systems and methods for triggering service activation include starting a vCPE instance in response to a request for a service, instantiating a service container for the requested service and starting the service in the service container, installing a fast path entry for the service container in a local bridge table, detecting an idle timeout of the service and labeling the local bridge table entry for the corresponding service container as inactive, notifying a cloud services manager that the service container is inactive, and removing the service container.
