    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to migrating logical volumes from a thick provisioned layout to a thin provisioned layout, and includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause one or more components of the system to perform operations comprising creating an abstraction layer on top of a logical volume in a storage device, the abstraction layer for accessing the logical volume, the logical volume one of a plurality of logical volumes in a volume group of the storage device; allocating a thin pool from remaining storage space in the volume group of the storage device; creating a snapshot of the logical volume; adding a thin virtual volume corresponding to the logical volume to the thin pool; and copying data from the snapshot to the thin virtual volume.

    Abstract: Techniques that provide link establishment between a radio equipment controller (REC) and a radio equipment (RE) in a fronthaul network are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes performing, Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) Layer 1 (L1) link auto-negotiation operations to establish a CPRI link between the REC and RE. A proxy slave may achieve a hyper frame number (HFN) synchronization with the REC at a link bit rate for a first CPRI bit stream and communicate the first CPRI bit stream and the link bit rate to a proxy master. The proxy master may communicate a second CPRI bit stream to the proxy slave to transmit to the REC. The L1 link auto-negotiation operations are completed and CPRI link is established between the REC and the RE when the REC achieves a HFN synchronization for the second CPRI bit stream.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to seamless access to a common physical disk in an AMP system without an external hypervisor, and includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause one or more components of the system to perform operations including instantiating, by a first instance, a second instance during a system upgrade, creating, in the first instance, a first disk abstraction for a block device of a physical disk, and attaching the block device under the first disk abstraction. The operations further include providing the second instance network-based access to the physical disk using the first disk abstraction of the first instance during the system upgrade.

    Abstract: In a fronthaul network system, when a CPRI link fault is detected at either of the REC or RE, both the REC and RE perform a Layer 1 synchronization. The fault may be a loss of signal, loss of frame, or a line code violation, which also translates to a loss of signal if seen beyond a threshold. A proxy slave recognizes the fault in a CPRI signal from a first radio device and inserts the fault alarm into a header of a radio over Ethernet frame. The proxy slave continues to communicate the signal for a configured number of hyper-frames. A proxy master receives the signal and communicates the signal and the fault alarm to a receiving radio device for a configured number of hyper-frames. The proxy and radio devices all perform a joint resynchronization.

    Abstract: The present technology discloses methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for receiving, by a relying node in an optical transport network environment, attestation information in a trail trace identifier of an optical unit from an attester node in the optical transport network environment; verifying a trustworthiness of the attester node by identifying a level of trust of the attester node from the attestation information; and controlling network service access of the attester node through the relying node in the network environment based on the level of trust of the attester node identified from the attestation information.

    Abstract: Techniques are described to provide for state machine handling at a proxy node in an Ethernet-based fronthaul network. In one example, a method includes performing, by a proxy node of a fronthaul network, negotiation operations associated with establishing a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) communication link between radio devices of the fronthaul network, wherein the negotiation operations comprise Layer 1 synchronization operations and Radio over Ethernet (RoE) validation operations for one or more link bit rates; and facilitating communications between the radio devices at a matching link bit rate upon completion of the negotiation operations.
