Based on, at least in part, the rule configuration, a rule table is created. The rule table comprises rule data records, wherein a rule data record comprises packet attributes and a redirection identifier. A policy configuration comprising policy records is obtained. Each policy record comprises a redirection identifier, a next_hop, and an address pair for interfaces. A mapping between VRF identifiers and address pairs is generated. Based on, at least in part, the mapping and the policy configuration, a policy table is generated. The policy table comprises table records, wherein a table record comprises a redirection identifier, a next_hop, and an address pair. The rule and policy tables are used to redirect a packet from an edge gateway to a service virtual machine.

A system and method of protecting communication in a mesh network of nodes. The method including receiving a request from a joiner node of the mesh network to join the mesh network. The method including validating permissions for the joiner node responsive to receiving the request. The method including acquiring one or more dictionary objects based on the permissions. The method including granting, by a control node of a mesh network, access rights for the joiner node to join the mesh network by transmitting an access rights message comprising the one or more dictionary objects to the joiner node, wherein the access rights message causes the joiner node to locally store the one or more dictionary objects and use the one or more dictionary objects when communicating with one or more nodes of the mesh network.

An operator node is configured to generate a visualization of the configurations of nodes communicatively coupled to the operator node via a network. The operator node scans target nodes in a network and identifies a set of attributes describing various configuration properties of each node. The operator node compares corresponding attributes across nodes and determines for each attribute a measure of variance. The variance for each attribute is displayed in a grid view, allowing a user to observe the level of similarity or dissimilarity of each attribute across the target nodes of the network. The operator node also defines and implements a policy describing a set of configuration properties with which target nodes must comply. The operator node determines if one or more target nodes is in violation of the policy, displays a differential visualization associated with each policy failure event, and enables an operator to re-configure target nodes accordingly.

A system described herein may determine that a first measure of likelihood of demand for a particular service from a first set of edge computing devices exceeds a first threshold, and may instruct the first set of edge computing devices to provision resources to provide the particular service. The system may subsequently determine that a second measure of likelihood of demand for the particular service from a second set of edge computing devices exceeds a second threshold, the second set of edge computing devices being a subset of the first set of edge computing devices, and may initiate a service state synchronization operation with respect to the second set of edge computing devices. The system may select a particular edge computing device, of the second set of edge computing devices, to provide the particular service to a User Equipment (“UE”).
