==PROCESSING DATA CONNECTION REQUESTS FROM EDGE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18048126 titled 'PROCESSING DATA CONNECTION REQUESTS FROM EDGE DEVICES

==Simplified Explanation==

The computer-implemented method described in the abstract involves processing data connection requests from edge devices, specifically focusing on establishing connections and allocating them to fibers based on connection parameters. 

* Receiving connection requests from edge devices
* Responding to edge devices to indicate connection establishment without data transmission
* Receiving connection parameters from edge devices
* Determining if the connection is fiber-allocatable based on the connection parameter type
* Selecting a fiber from a group based on rules of fiber selection
* Allocating the connection to the selected fiber

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in telecommunications, networking, and data centers to efficiently allocate connections to fibers based on specific parameters.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of efficiently allocating connections to fibers based on connection parameters, optimizing network performance and resource utilization.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved network efficiency, optimized resource allocation, and enhanced data connection management.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications of this technology include telecommunications companies, networking equipment manufacturers, and data center operators looking to optimize their network infrastructure.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be existing methods for allocating connections in telecommunications networks based on specific parameters. 

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology impact network latency? ===
This article does not address the potential impact of this technology on network latency. Implementing additional processing steps for connection allocation could potentially introduce delays in data transmission. 

=== What are the scalability considerations for this technology? ===
The scalability of this technology in large-scale network environments is not discussed in the article. It is important to understand how this method performs as the number of connection requests and fibers increases.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A computer-implemented method for processing data connection requests is provided. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a connection request from an edge device and responding to the edge device such that the edge device recognizes that a connection is established and that data cannot be sent. The method further includes receiving a response from the edge device indicative of a connection parameter, determining that the connection is fiber-allocatable in accordance with the connection parameter being of a first connection parameter type, selecting one fiber from a plurality of fibers to have the connection allocated thereto based on one or more rules of fiber selection responsive to the determining that the connection is fiber-allocatable and allocating the connection to the one fiber.
