    Abstract: An improved core network that can monitor micro-level issues, identify specific services of specific nodes that may be causing an outage, and perform targeted node failovers in a manner that does not cause unnecessary disruptions in service is described herein. For example, the improved core network can include a failover and isolation server (FIS) system. The FIS system can obtain service-specific KPIs from the various nodes in the core network. The FIS can then compare the obtained KPI values of the respective service with corresponding threshold values. If any KPI value exceeds a corresponding threshold value, the FIS may preliminarily determine that the service of the node associated with the KPI value is responsible for a service outage. The FIS can initiate a failover operation, which causes the node to re-route any received requests corresponding to the service potentially responsible for the service outage to a redundant node.

    Abstract: Techniques for identifying nodes in a data center fabric that are affected by a failure in the fabric, and selectively sending disaggregation advertisements to the nodes affected by the failure. The techniques include a process where a component monitors the network fabric to identify communication paths between leaf nodes, and determines what leaf nodes would be affected by a failure in those communication paths. The component may detect a failure in the network and determine which communication paths, and thus which leaf nodes, are affected by the failure and send disaggregation advertisements to the affected leaf nodes. In some examples, ingress leaf nodes send data through the fabric that indicate egress nodes for the communication paths. Intermediate nodes along may receive the data from the leaf nodes to identify communication paths, and the notify only affected nodes upon detecting a failure in the network.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a system for managing radio unit or Open-Radio Unit (O-RU) (116) failure. The method manages the O-RU failure through a plurality of NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol) clients by a management-plane (M-Plane) in an open radio access network (100). The method includes establishing the M-Plane between the O-RU and the plurality of NETCONF clients available with each of an Open-Distributed Unit (O-DU) (114) and a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) framework (102) and detecting failure by the plurality of NETCONF clients in the connection between the O-RU and the plurality of NETCONF clients within a session at a predefined time duration. Lastly, the method includes switching the connection from a hybrid model to a hierarchical model in case of the failure with the hybrid model, whereby switching the connection ensures returning to the hybrid model without reset when the SMO framework connection is back.

    Abstract: Techniques for migrating a plurality of communications services in a data communication network are disclosed. Aspects include accessing a migration map for the plurality of communications services in the data communication network; identifying a communications dependency between a first service and a second service in the plurality of communications services, wherein according to the migration map the first service is configured to migrate from a first route to a second route, the second service is configured to migrate from a third route to a fourth route, and the third route overlaps with the second route; determining, based on the identified communications dependency, a migration sequence for migrating the plurality of communications services in the data communication network; and migrating the plurality of communications services from a first plurality of configurations to a second plurality of configurations according to the migration sequence.

    Abstract: A method of processing state information relating to user equipment in a communications system comprising a radio access network, the method comprising: maintaining current state information relating to the user equipment; and on the basis of a change of connection of the user equipment from a first cell to a second cell: transmitting a current value associated with a given state information part to the target radio access node in response to detecting at least one of one or more predetermined triggers that indicate that the target radio access node may not have received the current value from the source radio access node; or relying on the target radio access node having received the current value from the source radio access node if said at least one of said one or more predetermined triggers is not detected.
