    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, architectures, and interfaces for a path computation element (PCE) performing run-time operations for providing isolated service chains in a name-based routing system of communications network, are provided. A method may include any of: receiving, from a client device, a first message requesting a forwarding identifier (FID) associated with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a service function (SF), the first message including information indicating: (1) a first identifier (ID) associated with the FQDN of the SF, and (2) a second ID associated with the FQDN of the SF; on condition that the PCE has determined that the first ID is for a subscriber associated with a namespace known to the PCE, determining the FID associated with the FQDN of the SF according to namespace information; and transmitting information associated with the FID to the client device.

    Abstract: An example device may determine a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) using a service operation, a producer identifier, and a parent domain, wherein the service operation is associated with a network function, and wherein the producer identifier identifies a producer device that provides the service operation; generate a target address using the FQDN and an event name, wherein the event name indicates a network function event: send a request message to the producer device using the target address, wherein the request message indicates a request to subscribe to the service operation for the network function event; receive a confirmation message from the producer device, wherein the confirmation message indicates that the device is subscribed to the service operation for the network function event; and receive an event message from the service operation provided by the producer device, wherein the event message indicates that the network function event has occurred.

    Abstract: An edge termination point (ETP) transport protocol between two or more ETPs in a network, such as a Layer 2 transport network, may be provided. A device may receive an incoming internet protocol (IP) transaction at an edge termination point (ETP) in a network. The device may terminate the received incoming IP transaction at the ETP. The device may map the terminated incoming IP transaction onto an ETP-to-ETP communication. The device may control the ETP-to-ETP communication. For example, the device may control the ETP-to-ETP communication based on a resource management regime. The device may map the ETP-to-ETP communication onto one or more outgoing IP transactions at the ETP. The device may map the IP transaction onto an ETP-ETP communication. The ETP-ETP communication may include one or more ETP flows and one or more ETP transactions.
