    摘要: Implementations of the present application propose a method and apparatus for preventing rollback of firmware of a data processing device, and a data processing device. The method includes: enabling a boot loader (BootLoader) to read a current value of a predetermined bit in a one-time programmable memory (eFuse); determining whether the current value and a legal value written into the one-time programmable memory after the latest updating of the firmware of the data processing device satisfy a preset relationship; in response to determining that the current value and the legal value satisfy the preset relationship, enabling the boot loader to call an operating system kernel of the data processing device, and in response to determining that the current value and the legal value do not satisfy the preset relationship, enabling the boot loader not to call the operating system kernel of the data processing device. According to the implementations of the present application, rollback of the firmware can be prevented based on a variety of ways in a link-by-link mode.

    摘要: Techniques are described for in-service configuration data migration for distributed micro service-based applications. In one example, a network device comprises a plurality of legacy data repositories comprising configuration data in key-value pair format that specifies a plurality of parameters and corresponding values for operation of the network device, and a hierarchical configuration data model having a plurality of nodes arranged in a hierarchical organization having a root node and a plurality of leaf nodes. Each of the nodes of the configuration data model is configured to store a set of configuration data parameters for the network device. One or more of the nodes includes a plurality of external references to respective parameters of the plurality of parameters stored within the plurality of legacy data repositories. Process circuitry is configured to perform a migration of the configuration data from the legacy data repositories to the hierarchical data model.

    摘要: A system, computer-readable media and computer-implemented method for automated, dynamic capacity planning using HTTP response header fields. The computer-implemented method includes: automatically determining a server workload statistic relating to operation of a server, the server being configured to serve a content item in response to HTTP-formatted requests; automatically determining an expiration value based at least in part on the workload server statistic; automatically updating a configuration file corresponding to the content item with the expiration value; receiving a request for the content item from a requesting device; automatically accessing the configuration file and generating a HTTP-formatted response header incorporating the expiration value; and, automatically transmitting the HTTP-formatted response header and the content item in response to the request.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to: a communication technique for merging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate than a beyond 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, small businesses, security- and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. A controller node is disclosed. The controller node comprises: a processor for generating a network element (NE) list on the basis of time zone information and threshold information obtained from a database (DB) node; and a communication interface for receiving a configuration information request message from a network element corresponding to the network element list and transmitting a configuration information response message to the network element in response to the configuration information request message.

    摘要: Systems and techniques for computing infrastructure standards assay are described herein. A set of existing configurations may be obtained of an existing software application executing on a set of computing systems operating in the computing infrastructure. The set of existing configurations may be evaluated using artificial intelligence to identify the standard configuration. The standard configuration may include a set of configuration options that appear most often in the set of existing configurations. A score may be generated for each existing configuration of the set of existing configurations based on deviation between the existing configuration and the standard configuration. A notification may be transmitted to an administrator based on the score. The notification may include an indication of options of the standard configuration that differ from options of the existing configuration.

    摘要: A notification system is described herein. Notifications can be generated for groupings of devices. A notification indication can be sent to a larger grouping of client devices. The notification indication can include one or more grouping parameters that specify one or more conditions that define a smaller device grouping. Devices that fall within the grouping can request the notification from a messaging service or management service.

    摘要: An example device includes a processor; a first interface port forming a first datalink to a core network device via a first interconnect device; and a second interface port forming a second datalink to the core network device via a second interconnect device, the first and second datalinks being redundant connections of a link aggregation group (LAG) including a plurality of multiplexed connections within a single network media. The processor is to: remove the first interconnect device while maintaining the second datalink; update firmware of the first interconnect device upon receiving a first indication that the first interconnect device has stopped receiving or transmitting data; and reestablish the redundant connections of the first interconnect device upon receiving a second indication that the first interconnect device has been added back to the LAG. The first and second indications include indications of states in each connection of the multiplexed connections.
