摘要： The invention relates to failure handling in a tree sructure network (NW1) that has edge nodes (EN1 . . . EN4) and switching nodes (SW1 . . . SW4) interconnected by lines (L1). VLANs (VLAN1-VLAN3) are established such that at least one thereof provides connectivity in case of any single failure in the network. The VLANs can be established by using spanning trees (ST1,ST2,ST3). Among the edge nodes, emitters (EN3) broadcast alive messages (A1,A2,A3) regularly on the VLANs and notifiers (EN2) note the alive messages. A missing alive message indicates a failure (CD1) on one VLAN (VLAN2) and the notifier (EN2) broadcasts corresponding failure messages (F1,F2,F3) on the VLANs. When all the alive messages (A1,A2,A3) appear again the notifier (EN2) broadcasts corresponding repair messages (R1,R2,R3). If the notifiers don't note a failure the nodes (EN1,EN4) with no special role performs a similar function as the notifier (EN2) somewhat slower. The failure handling is fast, robust, uses few messages, increases only slightly the traffic load in the network (NW1) and is compliant with present standards.

SW4）的树结构网络（NW1）中的故障处理。 建立VLAN（VLAN1-VLAN3），使得其中的至少一个在网络中的任何单个故障的情况下提供连接性。 VLAN可以通过生成树（ST1，ST2，ST3）建立。 在边缘节点中，发射器（EN3）定期在VLAN和通知器（EN2）上广播有效消息（A1，A2，A3），注意活动消息。 丢失的活着消息表示一个VLAN（VLAN2）发生故障（CD1），通知器（EN2）广播VLAN上相应的故障消息（F1，F2，F3）。 当所有活动消息（A1，A2，A3）再次出现时，通知器（EN2）广播相应的修复消息（R1，R2，R3）。 如果通知程序不记录故障，则没有特殊角色的节点（EN1，EN4）执行与通知程序（EN2）类似的功能稍慢。 故障处理快速，稳健，使用少量消息，仅增加网络流量负载（NW1），符合现行标准。

摘要： In the area of network provisioning, there is a problem of selecting a suitable traffic-provisioning model for large networks due to the high management complexity of the resource-efficient trunk model and the poor bandwidth efficiency of the easy-to-configure hose model. The invention is based on the idea of partitioning at least part of the network into multi-node clusters, and defining traffic limitations on at least two levels, including the intra-cluster level and the inter-cluster level, where the traffic limitations include one or more node-to-cluster traffic limitations for inter-cluster traffic. Subsequently, cluster-based provisioning of the network is performed based on the traffic limitations. The novel node-to-cluster limitations proposed by the invention are preferably applied in a cluster-based trunk or hose model on the inter-cluster level. In other words, for the description of the inter-cluster traffic (traffic between the clusters) cluster-based trunk or hose models can be used, preferably depending on the available information about the traffic. The cluster-based provisioning makes it possible to find a trade-off between management complexity and overprovisioning.

摘要： A mobile communications network (20) has separation between a user plane (UP) and a control plane (CP). The network comprises plural entities, including plural user plane entities (UPE 23) (comprising the user plane) and plural mobility management entities (MME 25) (comprising the control plane). At least one of the entities is configured to transmit advertisement information. The advertisement information comprises status information and configuration information of the at least one entity. The network further comprises a node or unit (44) configured to use both the advertisement information and the transport information to select a user plane entity for attachment to a wireless station serviced by the network.

摘要： A method and apparatus for providing data to a network terminal. A network node receives information relating to a first instance of a client running at the network terminal. Using the information, the network node concurrently runs a second instance of the client that emulates the first instance. Using the second instance, the network node generates a request for data required by the first instance. Before receiving a request for data generated by the first instance, the network node sends the request for data required by the first instance to a remote server and receives a response that includes the required data. The required data is then sent to the network terminal. The advantage of this is that the request for data required is generated before the network node receives a request from the network terminal. This allows the request to be handled more quickly.
