Abstract: Systems and methods provide on-demand network slicing to support testing of customer use cases A test network management system receives customer parameters for a use case in a production network. The customer parameters include an identifier for a user equipment (UE) device to be tested with the use case. The test network management system provides, to the UE device, configuration information to associate the UE device with a test mode network segment of the production network. A network device in the production network may receive a registration request, from the UE device, that includes the configuration information. Based on the configuration information, the network device blocks the UE device from accessing the production network. Instead, the test network management system initiates provisioning of the test mode network segment for the UE device; and the network device redirects the registration request to the test mode network segment.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for latency evaluation and management resolution are provided. A fingerprint for traffic flow over a communication network from an application executing on a device to a multi-access edge (MEC) server instance hosted by a MEC platform may be identified. The fingerprint may be used to track the traffic flow between the application and the MEC server in order to measure round trip time latencies of the traffic flow. In response to a round trip time latency violating a latency management policy, segment latencies along segments of a communication travel path of the traffic flow from the device to the MEC platform may be measured. A management resolution function may be performed based upon one or more of the segment latencies exceeding a threshold.
