SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING AN AUTOMATIC ROUTE FLIP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17946534 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING AN AUTOMATIC ROUTE FLIP
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for automatically flipping routes in a communications network, involving updating routing information and advertising the updated information to switches within the network.
- The method involves receiving a request to flip a primary and secondary route in a communications network.
- It identifies hosts with dynamic and static path lengths, updates routing information in a database, and advertises the updated information to switches.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in telecommunications networks, data centers, and cloud computing environments to optimize routing paths and improve network efficiency.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient route flipping in a communications network. 2. Dynamic adjustment of path lengths based on network conditions.
Benefits
1. Improved network performance. 2. Enhanced reliability and fault tolerance. 3. Automated route optimization.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized routing solutions for telecommunications companies, cloud service providers, and large enterprises.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of dynamic routing protocols in computer networks to adjust routing paths based on network conditions.
Unanswered Questions
How does the method handle network congestion?
The abstract does not specify how the method addresses network congestion and whether it takes congestion into account when flipping routes.
What is the impact of route flipping on network latency?
The abstract does not mention the potential impact of route flipping on network latency and whether the method minimizes latency during route changes.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for performing an automatic route flip are disclosed herein. The method can include receiving a request to flip a primary route and a secondary route in a communications network including at least a first host and a second host, each including a routing agent and an advertising agent. The method includes identifying the first host as having a dynamic path length and the second host as having a static path length, updating routing information in a database accessible by the first host to change the path length of the first host from a first path length to a second path length, receiving the updated routing information from the database with the routing agent of the first host, and advertising the updated routing information with the first host to at least one switch within the communications network.
