Abstract: Aspects of data re-direction are described, which can include software-defined networking (SDN) data re-direction operations. Some aspects include data re-direction operations performed by one or more virtualized network functions. In some aspects, a network router decodes an indication of a handover of a user equipment (UE) from a first end point (EP) to a second EP, based on the indication, the router can update a relocation table including the UE identifier, an identifier of the first EP, and an identifier of the second EP. The router can receive a data packet for the UE, configured for transmission to the first EP, and modify the data packet, based on the relocation table, for rerouting to the second EP. In some aspects, the router can decode handover prediction information, including an indication of a predicted future geographic location of the UE, and update the relocation table based on the handover prediction information.

Abstract: A computing apparatus, including: a hardware platform; and an interworking broker function (IBF) hosted on the hardware platform, the IBF including a translation driver (TD) associated with a legacy network appliance lacking native interoperability with an orchestrator, the IBF configured to: receive from the orchestrator a network function provisioning or configuration command for the legacy network appliance; operate the TD to translate the command to a format consumable by the legacy network appliance; and forward the command to the legacy network appliance.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing resources to deliver a network service in a distributed configuration. A method includes an operation for identifying resources for delivering a network service, the resources being classified by geographic area. Further, the method includes operations for selecting service agents to configure the identified resources, each service agent to manage service pools for delivering the network service across at least one geographic area, the service agents being selected to provide configurability for the service pools. The method further includes operations for sending configuration rules, to the service agents, configured to establish service pools for delivering the network service across the geographic areas. Service traffic information is collected from the service agents, and the resources are adjusted based on the collected service traffic information. Updated respective configuration rules are sent to each determined service agent based on the adjusting.

Abstract: A network interface device, including: an ingress interface; a host platform interface to communicatively couple to a host platform; and a packet preprocessor including logic to: receive via the ingress interface a data sequence including a plurality of discrete data units; identify the data sequence as data for a parallel processing operation; reorder the discrete data units into a reordered data frame, the reordered data frame configured to order the discrete data units for consumption by the parallel operation; and send the reordered data to the host platform via the host platform interface.

Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a demand scaling engine, including: a processor interface to communicatively couple to a processor; a network controller interface to communicatively couple to a network controller and to receive network demand data; a scaleup criterion; a current processor frequency scale datum; and logic, provided at least partly in hardware, to: receive the network demand data; compare the network demand data to the scaleup criterion; determine that the network demand data exceeds the scaleup criterion; and instruct the processor via the processor interface to scaleup processor frequency.
