    Abstract: A method and a device for processing a failure in at least one distributed cluster, and a system, where the at least one distributed cluster includes a first distributed cluster. The first distributed cluster includes a first Master node, a first Slave node, a first reference node, and a first secondary node that serves as a backup of the first Master node. The first secondary node receives a heartbeat message that includes first indication information. The first secondary node determines, according to the first indication information, that the first reference node is disconnected from the first Master node. The first secondary node determines that the first secondary node is also disconnected from the first Master node when it is detected that a heartbeat message from the first Master node to the first secondary node is interrupted. The first secondary node determines the first Master node is faulty.

    Abstract: This application provides a method for managing a service in an NFV architecture, and an apparatus. The method includes: generating, by a first network element after receiving a network function virtualization NFV resource change notification sent by a virtualized infrastructure manager VIM, first constraint information used to modify NFVI software and/or hardware; and sending, by the first network element, a first notification message to the VIM, where the first notification message carries the first constraint information, and the first constraint information is used by the VIM to modify NFVI software and/or hardware based on the first constraint information.

    Abstract: A traffic handling decision method, a network entity, a computer readable medium, and a traffic handling decision apparatus relate to upgrading a network service function within a mobile communication network. In this context the traffic handling decision apparatus distributes incoming request of the control plane to instances implementing the mobile network function either according to the current software version or an upgraded software version.

    Abstract: A resource orchestration entity and a method for enabling end-to-end service reliability and availability with service flow differential deployment of a network service (NS) with one or more service flows in an NS chain comprising one or more network function nodes coupled via a plurality of intermediate networking nodes. The resource orchestration entity is arranged to obtain an information element of service availability level in at least one descriptor for defining the service availability level requirements of the service flow from an NS management entity, and provide the information element of service availability level together with an identification reference in a NS to a resource management entity for assigning resources comprising network function nodes and their inter-connections in virtual network laying on the network hardware comprising networking nodes when instantiating the NS comprising service flows in the NS chain.
