METHOD AND APPARATUSES FOR REDUCING NETWORK LATENCY

A protocol independent network condition service (PINCS) apparatus is provided, comprising a memory storage comprising instructions and one or more processors in communication with the memory. The processors execute the instructions to receive a subscription for network condition information of at least one network from at least one network condition consumer (NCC) node, the network condition information being related to at least one target data flow provided to at least one node in the network via the NCC node, obtain information about a plurality of network conditions from at least one network condition provider (NCP) node configured to monitor a plurality of network conditions including network conditions related to the at least one target data flow, process the information about the plurality of network conditions to generate an aggregated network conditions information, and send the aggregated network conditions information the NCC node as indicated by the subscription.
