METHOD FOR ENABLING INTENT AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113931 titled 'METHOD FOR ENABLING INTENT AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for enabling an intent in a network environment. The method involves obtaining information about conflicting intents, monitoring changes in the status of these conflicting intents, and initiating the procedure of enabling the desired intent when the conflicting intents are no longer in conflict.

  • First network element obtains information about conflicting intents
  • Monitors changes in the status of conflicting intents
  • Initiates enabling procedure for desired intent when conflicts are resolved

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in network management systems, telecommunications, and software-defined networking to efficiently resolve conflicts between different intents in a network environment.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently enabling a desired intent in a network environment when there are conflicting intents present. It streamlines the process by monitoring and resolving conflicts in a timely manner.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved network management efficiency, faster resolution of conflicts, and more accurate enabling of desired intents in a network environment.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include network management software, telecommunications systems, and software-defined networking solutions.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing network management systems that handle conflicts between different intents in a network environment.

Unanswered Questions

== How does this technology handle complex network topologies with multiple conflicting intents? This technology is designed to handle complex network topologies by monitoring and resolving conflicts between different intents in a systematic manner.

== What are the potential scalability limitations of this technology in large-scale network environments? The scalability of this technology in large-scale network environments would depend on the processing power and resources available to the network elements implementing the method. Further research and testing would be needed to determine the scalability limitations.


Original Abstract Submitted

this application provides a method for enabling an intent and an apparatus. the method includes: a first network element obtains first information, where the first information indicates at least one intent, and the at least one intent is all intents that conflict with a first intent. when the first network element determines that a status of the at least one intent changes, the first network element initiates a procedure of enabling the first intent. according to the solution of this application, when the first intent is in a conflict state, the first network element may initiate the procedure of enabling the first intent after determining that statuses of all the intents that conflict with the first intent change. the solution in this application can be used to re-initiate, in a timely, accurate, and efficient manner, the procedure of enabling the first intent.
