Patent ID: 10932145

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed that provide in-service traffic and/or resource migration between processing units in a communications network. An example method includes one or more processing units communicating with at least one processing unit of a plurality of processing units, where the communicating corresponds to a plurality of resources and resource requirements of the plurality of processing units. The one or more processing units evaluate resource utilization and projected traffic of a subset of the plurality of processing units. The one or more processing units determine, based on the resource requirements, to migrate one or more selected interdependent resources for a service from one or more processing units to one or more receiving processing units of the plurality of processing units. The one or more processing units instruct the one or more selected interdependent resources to perform payload processing corresponding to one or more receiving processing units of the plurality of processing units, where the payload processing causes the one or more migrated resources to provide the service to the one or more receiving processing units.
