==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED NETWORK RESILIENCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17982895 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED NETWORK RESILIENCE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system for resilience in network communications, where an intermediate switch is able to route communication to offline subports in case of malfunction.

* The system includes at least one first network port with multiple subports and at least one second network port with multiple subports.
* An intermediate switch is connected to these network ports and is able to route communication from operational subports to offline subports in case of malfunction.
* This system enhances network resilience by ensuring continuous communication even in the presence of faulty subports.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and networking equipment manufacturing.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Ensures continuous network communication even in the presence of malfunctioning subports.
2. Enhances overall network resilience and reliability.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved network uptime and reliability.
2. Enhanced fault tolerance in network communications.
3. Simplified network management and troubleshooting.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Enhanced network switches for data centers
Resilient networking equipment for telecommunications companies

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be existing patents or technologies related to network resilience and fault tolerance in network communications, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

== How does this system handle routing priority in case of multiple offline subports?
The patent application does not specify how the system prioritizes routing to offline subports in case of multiple malfunctions.

== What is the impact of this system on network latency?
The abstract does not mention how the system may affect network latency when routing communication to offline subports.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for resilience in network communications. An example system includes at least one first network port including a first plurality of subports and at least one second network port including a second plurality of subports. The system also includes an intermediate switch communicably connected to the at least one first network port and the at least one second network port. At least one of the first plurality of subports includes at least one first offline subport that is inoperable in an instance in which each of the remaining first plurality of subports are operable. The intermediate switch is configured to route communication from one of the second plurality of subports to the at least one first offline subport in an instance in which the intermediate switch receives an indication of a malfunction associated with the first plurality of subports.
