Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying one or more rules in a policy rulebase, wherein the one or more rules correspond to a subscriber associated with a network, instructing a test agent to derive one or more scripts that, when executed by a client, cause the client to generate test traffic and send the test traffic to the network, after the instructing and after the test traffic is sent to the network, accessing data records that are outputted by the network based on the test traffic, based on the accessing, correlating at least one record of the data records to the test traffic, and analyzing the at least one record to validate conformance with the one or more rules. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and system for mobility policy validation/certification

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining that one or more tests are to be executed for a core network of a telecommunications system, based on the determining, transmitting one or more test initiation commands to a set of user equipment (UEs) of a plurality of UEs communicatively coupled to the core network, wherein the one or more test initiation commands cause the set of UEs to execute the one or more tests, obtaining, from the set of UEs, results associated with the one or more tests, analyzing the results based on one or more machine learning (ML) models to identify a network issue, and responsive to the analyzing, performing one or more actions to address the network issue. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Next generation wireline wireless automation for testing and validation of network functions and services

An event-based analytics tool can obtain, from a data lake, an instance of correlated event data including a first event from a first network device, a second event from a second network device, and data correlating the first event to the second event. The event-based analytics tool can obtain PCAP data from a troubleshooting server via a first application programming interface. The event-based analytics tool can also obtain a log from a searchable log database via a second application programming interface. Based on the correlated event data, the packet capture data, and the log, the event-based analytics tool can generate a prediction model that can be used to predict a cause of a future event.

Event-based analytics tool for networks

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining first information identifying each version of a policy rule base to which a control plane architecture of a wireless network has access; obtaining second information identifying each version of a policy rule base to which a user plane architecture of the wireless network has access; selecting as a selected version a common version of a policy rule base to which each of the control plane architecture and the user plane architecture has access; and communicating an identification of the selected version to each of the control plane architecture and the user plane architecture. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Control plane user plane (CUPS) capabilities exchange

Respective implementations facilitating a mobile core connection router are provided. A method can include establishing, by a system comprising a processor, a connection to a virtualized core network instance, associated with a first computing device, via a mobility tunneling protocol; in response to the establishing of the connection, initializing, by the system, a virtualized router function based on a routing table; and routing, by the system and via the virtualized router function, data traffic between the virtualized core network instance and a second computing device, communicatively coupled to the system and distinct from the first computing device.

Mobile core cloud connection router

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, generating a management manifest for a network function (NF) software application, wherein the NF software application is to be deployed in a cloud computing environment, based on the generating the management manifest, deriving a software package that includes the NF software application and the management manifest, and causing the software package to be outputted for deployment in the cloud computing environment, wherein inclusion of the management manifest with the NF software application in the software package facilitates utilization of the management manifest for monitoring and management of a system that results from deployment of the NF software application in the cloud computing environment. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Cloud deployment of network function software with a management

Cloud deployment of network function software with a management manifest

Determining a resolved DNS response based on one or more resolutions for a received APN DNS query is disclosed. A resolved DNS response can be based on real-time analysis of a first query and/or on historical resolution of a second query that is sufficiently similar to the first query. In an aspect, training queries can be employed to populate a data store with preferred DNS responses correlated to the training queries and associated network conditions. The data store can then be employed to evaluate a received query, and where sufficiently similar to a training query, corresponding resolution from the training query can be provided as a resolution for the received query. Moreover, as stored query information is determined to become stale, refreshment techniques are disclosed. Additionally, training queries can comprise anticipated queries and historical queries.
