Systems and methods can use client-side video buffer occupancy for enhanced quality of experience in a communication network. The systems and methods provided herein can drive changes in the communication system using control responses. Example control responses include responses for scheduling of packets under capacity constrained conditions. An access node, such as a base station, may transmit video from a server to a client in a user device. The access node can estimate client-side video buffer occupancy and predict video playback stalls. The client-side video buffer occupancy can be estimated by emulating behavior of the client. The buffer occupancy can be used to enhance quality of experience for the user. For example, when the buffer occupancy is low, the access node may increase scheduling priority of packets conveying the video.

The disclosure provides a network path determination module, a method of determining a network path, and a non-transitory storage medium which stores computer readable instruction to execute functions related to the method of determining a network path. In an aspect, the network path determination module includes not limited to: a first port; a non-transitory storage medium; and a processor coupled to the non-transitory storage medium, configured at least to: receive, through the first port, a requested generated by a detected data flow to create a forwarding entry in a network node for the data flow; retrieve a current network topology and a network status; select a network path based on the current network topology and the network status; generate a network control instruction based on the network path which has been selected; and execute the network control instruction to forward the data flow on the network path.

A smart node in a local area network, the smart node comprising a first transceiver module for communicating with a plurality of other nodes in the local area network, a second transceiver module for communicating with an access node in a wide area network, and a processor that is configured to establish a connection with at least one neighboring node in the local area network, determine a portal candidate score for the smart node based on at least one node characteristic value, determine if the smart node is acceptable to act as a portal between the local area network and the wide area network, and connect, in the case that the smart node is acceptable to act as a portal, to the access node in the wide area network.

Pipelines for distributing file block in distributed file system network can be determined using a crawler algorithm. The crawler algorithm can iteratively identify links in a pipeline from for a starting node to one or more data storage nodes. In each iteration the pipeline can be extended based on the costs associated with the links on the pipeline with the resulting cost propagated as the pipeline is extended. The link costs indicate congestion on the links. Costs may also be back propagate from the data storage nodes.
