A self-testing storage system apparatus and method uses pre-recorded test sequences at a designated location within a storage system, so that a user interface task, residing in the controller of the storage system responds to a signal to initiate testing sent through a user interface device coupled to the controller. The user interface task causes the test sequences to be transferred into the controller. The user interface task also disables communications through the host interface, determines from parameters sent over the user interface which tests are to be run, and causes them to be executed as manufacturing self-test tasks from within the controller, using the controller's microprocessor and memory. Depending upon the parameters provided through the user interface device, each manufacturing self-test task executes sequential and random read/write/compare tests, data or command saturation tests, RAID evaluation tests, or other tests within the storage system.

A system and method for reassigning a data storage location containing corrupted data to a new data storage location containing the reconstructed previously corrupted data. The system includes a persistent medium storage device such as a disk in electrical communication with a persistent medium storage device controller having a nonvolatile memory. Corrupted data, detected during a read operation, is reconstructed by the system and the reconstructed data is written to nonvolatile memory. An indicator is set in a location in nonvolatile memory indicating that the reconstructed data is being written to a reassigned location on the persistent medium storage device. The persistent medium storage device then reassigns the storage location for the reconstructed data and the reconstructed data in nonvolatile memory is written to the reassigned location. Once the reconstructed data is written to the reassigned location, the indicator in nonvolatile memory is reset.

Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for processing network packets in a computer network, including in particular the processing of subscriber traffic in a mobile network. According to the teachings hereof, distributed computing resources can be organized into a service platform to provide certain value-add services—such as deep packet inspection, transcoding, lawful intercept, or otherwise—using a service function chaining model. The platform may operate on traffic egressing or ingressing to a mobile network (or other target network) to the public Internet. The service platform can alternatively be deployed wholly or partially within a target network. Service function chains may be built dynamically based on configured platform policies, packet contents, computing resource status, load, network location, current network conditions, and the like. The teachings hereof support dynamic modification of service function chains, including service function chain re-ordering, service level modification, and dynamic insertion/deletion of service functions.

Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for processing network packet data in a distributed computing platform, such as a content delivery network, to provide services to mobile network operators and/or their mobile subscribers. According to the teachings hereof, distributed computing resources can be organized into a service platform to provide certain value-add services—such as deep packet inspection, transcoding, lawful intercept, or otherwise—using a service function chaining model. The platform resources are preferably located external to the mobile network, on the public Internet. The platform preferably operates on and processes traffic entering or exiting the mobile network. In some embodiments, the service platform is able to establish an encrypted channel between itself and the mobile client through the mobile network, e.g., using content provider key and certificate information available to the platform (but which may not be available to the mobile network operator).
