SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMICALLY CONNECTING NETWORK ELEMENTS TO ENABLE A SERVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022639 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMICALLY CONNECTING NETWORK ELEMENTS TO ENABLE A SERVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes apparatuses and methods for managing network connections. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A computing device receives a request to provision a network connection between a first device and a second device.
- The request includes connection parameters that define the desired specifications for the network connection.
- The connection parameters are validated against information from a database and predetermined rules.
- A network connection path is generated by selecting network elements that satisfy the connection parameters.
- Configuration information for the network elements is aggregated for a configuration system.
- The configuration information is used to provision the network connection.
Potential Applications:
- Network management systems
- Telecommunications infrastructure
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Cloud computing platforms
Problems Solved:
- Efficiently provisioning network connections with specific specifications
- Validating connection parameters against a database and rules
- Selecting network elements that satisfy the connection parameters
Benefits:
- Streamlined network connection provisioning process
- Improved accuracy in validating connection parameters
- Optimal selection of network elements for efficient connections
Original Abstract Submitted
apparatuses and methods are disclosed for managing network connections. a computing device accesses a request to provision a network connection associated with a first device. the request includes a plurality of connection parameters defining desired specifications for a network connection from the first device to a second device. the connection parameters are validated against information from a database and other predetermined rules. a network connection path is generated to connect the first device with the second device. the network connection path is generated by selecting network elements for the network connection that satisfy the connection parameters. configuration information for the network elements of the network connection path is aggregated for a configuration system. the configuration information is used to provision the network connection.
