Smart Payments Reconciliation By Automatically Detecting And Resolving Anomalies, Nagaraju Shiramshetti
Smart Payments Reconciliation By Automatically Detecting And Resolving Anomalies, Nagaraju Shiramshetti
Defensive Publications Series
Online payments can fail for a variety of reasons such as insufficient funds, invalid state of the payment instrument, chargebacks, or one of the involved financial systems being unavailable. Anomalies in payment transactions can result in a loss of money either to a customer or business. Current online payment systems cannot handle such anomalies efficiently and at scale. This disclosure describes techniques to perform smart payments reconciliation by automatically detecting and resolving payment anomalies in online payment transactions. The techniques perform automated early detection of anomalies using artificial intelligence and initiate remedial actions. The described techniques can help improve the …

Application-Aware Latency-Based Optimization For Rep Rings, Dave Zacks, Robert Barton, Thomas Szigeti, Barry Qi Yuan
Defensive Publications Series
Techniques are presented herein that support a method for prescriptively discovering optimal places on a resilient Ethernet protocol ring for which to break a loop on a per-virtual local area network (VLAN) basis. In an operational technology (OT) setting, traffic often stays within a ring and is peer-to-peer (P2P) in nature. Consequently, it is useful to break the loop in places that optimize performance and do not force P2P traffic to go the "long way" around a ring. The presented techniques encompass a method for discovering where the best place to break the loop is on a per-VLAN basis.

Application-Driven Optimized Sla-Aware Path Selection For Collaboration Applications, Dave Zacks, Paul B Giralt, Prapanch Ramamoorthy, Thomas Szigeti
Defensive Publications Series
Currently, applications are at the mercy of a network’s infrastructure for the selection of a path within a network environment where more than one path exists between a source and a destination. Too often, the network infrastructure elements are unaware of an application’s requirements, or are aware of them in only a very rudimentary way. This situation is particularly dire for collaboration applications, which often have the most stringent requirements for path characteristics including delay, jitter, and packet loss. Techniques are presented herein that move the point of control for path selection to a collaboration application through a lightweight, in-band …

Defensive Publications Series
When establishing a PDU session, a session management function (SMF) receives a request from an access and mobility management function (AMF)/user device and exchanges messages with a number of network functions for performing the PDU session establishment. Currently, the SMF initiates a discovery request for each network function, which adds latency and load on the Nnrf interface. According to techniques described herein, the SMF sends only one discovery request for discovering multiple network functions, which reduces the load on the Nnrf interface and improves the call setup latency.
