PACKET LOSS AND CONFIDENCE SCORES IN A DISTRIBUTED CONFIDENCE FABRIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18296157 titled 'PACKET LOSS AND CONFIDENCE SCORES IN A DISTRIBUTED CONFIDENCE FABRIC

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a data confidence fabric that is aware of network topology. It associates confidence information with data transmitted over different communication channels, reflecting events like failover. This allows applications to determine how much to trust the data based on the transmission path.

  • Data confidence fabric that is network topology aware
  • Association of confidence information with data transmitted over different communication channels
  • Reflection of events like failover in confidence information and scores
  • Enables applications to determine data trust based on transmission path

Key Features and Innovation

  • Data confidence fabric that considers network topology
  • Association of confidence information with data transmission over various communication channels
  • Reflects events like failover in confidence information and scores
  • Allows applications to make trust decisions based on transmission path

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Network communication systems
  • Data transmission applications
  • Failover and redundancy systems

The technology can be applied in network communication systems, data transmission applications, failover and redundancy systems, and data security and integrity solutions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A data confidence fabric that is network topology aware is disclosed. When data is able to be transmitted over one of multiple communication channels, confidence information related to the transmission of the data over a selected communication channel is associated with the data. Events, such as failover, are also reflected in the confidence information and confidence score of the data. The confidence information and/or confidence scores allow applications to determine how to trust data in a manner that accounts for the transmission path.
