    Abstract: This application discloses a gateway configuration method and a gateway device, so as to resolve problems of a relatively heavy configuration workload, update inflexibility, and low configuration efficiency that exist when an OM entity is used to uniformly configure gateways in an LTE system. The method includes: configuring, by a control plane gateway, a parameter for a user plane gateway, and sending, by the control plane gateway, a configuration message to the user plane gateway, where the configuration message carries the configuration parameter configured by the control plane gateway for the user plane gateway. In this application, the control plane gateway configures the parameter for the user plane gateway, so that the control plane gateway implements configuration of the user plane gateway, and configuration flexibility and configuration efficiency are improved.

    Abstract: Energy-aware configurations can be utilized to operate a network based on sustainability-related metrics. In many embodiments, a suitable device includes a processor, a memory commutatively coupled to the processor, a plurality of elements, a communication port, and an energy-aware topology logic configured to collect topology data from one or more network devices, wherein each of the one or more network devices include a plurality of elements. The energy-aware topology logic can receive power source data and power usage data related to plurality of elements and generate an element energy coefficient (EEC) for a plurality of elements. Subsequently, the energy-aware topology logic can also generate an energy-aware configuration for at least one of the one or more network devices, and then pass the generated energy-aware configuration to the at least one network device, wherein the energy-aware configuration is configured to steer traffic based on at least one sustainability-related metric.

    Abstract: A system and method for providing on-demand edge compute. The system may include an orchestrator that provides a UI and that controls an abstraction layer for implementing a workflow for providing on-demand edge compute. The abstraction layer may include a server configuration orchestration (SCO) system (e.g., a Metal-as-a-Service (MaaS) system) and API that may provide an interface between the orchestrator and the SCO. The API may enable the orchestrator to communicate with the SCO for receiving requests that enable the SCO to integrate with existing compute resources to perform various compute provisioning tasks (e.g., to build and provision a server instance). The various tasks, when executed, may provide on-demand edge compute service to users. The SCO API may further enable the ECS orchestrator to receive information from the SCO (e.g., compute resource information, status messages).
