Dynamically adjusting network services stratum parameters based on access and/or connectivity stratum utilization and/or congestion information

A network device, comprising:

• a network interface for communicating over a network;
• a processing circuit coupled to the network interface and configured to:
• obtain a first congestion information for a radio access network node operating at an access stratum of the network;
• obtain a second congestion information for a core network node operating at a connectivity stratum of the network;
• determine, based on the first congestion information and the second congestion information, that a congestion level of the access stratum, or connectivity stratum, or both has changed;
• and
• indicate an updated congestion level to a connectivity stratum server that provides service level information to a service stratum, where the service level information includes updated service costs, as a function of the congestion level, for providing a plurality of services over the network.

A network device, comprising:

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having one or more instructions which when executed by a processing circuit causes the processing circuit to:

• obtain a first congestion information for a radio access network node operating at an access stratum of a network;
• obtain a second congestion information for a core network node operating at a connectivity stratum of the network;
• determine, based on the first congestion information and the second congestion information, that a congestion level of the access stratum, or connectivity stratum, or both has changed;
• and
• indicate an updated congestion level to a connectivity stratum server that provides service level information to a service stratum, where the service level information includes updated service costs, as a function of the congestion level, for providing a plurality of services over the network.
