Abstract
Mobile networks are undergoing fast evolution from the fourth-generation (4G)/Long Term Evolution (LTE) to the fifth generation (5G) so as to keep pace with the ever-increasing data traffic, mainly fueled by large-object delivery, such as video streams. To cope with the traffic growth, next evolution will integrate functionalities of content distribution networks (CDNs) in various manners, from in-network caching and mobile CDNs to virtualized source-service points in a software-defined mobile core. In accordance with these developments, we consider the emerging request routing problem of joint source redirection and flow routing in mobile networks with built-in content sources. We develop a fast request routing protocol, which intelligently distributes traffic demands among sourcing nodes and strategically routes flows through intermediate nodes. Theoretical analysis and computer simulations show that our protocol achieves (1 +ω)-optimal of traffic engineering for any ω > 0. Advanced features of source virtualization and data aggregation are also supported in the protocol.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
