DEPLOYING AND CONFIGURING NETWORK FUNCTIONS BASED ON A HIERARCHICAL CONFIGURATION MODEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18087465 titled 'DEPLOYING AND CONFIGURING NETWORK FUNCTIONS BASED ON A HIERARCHICAL CONFIGURATION MODEL
The present disclosure pertains to systems, methods, and computer readable media for receiving and processing a request to deploy network functions across one or more deployment areas of a telecommunications network. These systems utilize a hierarchical configuration model to process requests efficiently and effectively.
- The innovation involves applying a hierarchy of configuration management instructions to requests that comply with a specific format.
- Unique configuration instructions can be deployed across multiple network functions and deployment areas with a single request, eliminating the need for additional user interaction.
- The technology streamlines the deployment process and enhances the overall efficiency of managing network functions.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in telecommunications networks, data centers, cloud computing environments, and other network infrastructure settings where efficient deployment of network functions is crucial.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenges associated with deploying network functions across multiple areas and functions, streamlining the process and reducing the need for manual intervention.
Benefits: The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency, reduced deployment time, improved configuration management, and enhanced overall network performance.
Commercial Applications: This technology has significant commercial applications in the telecommunications industry, cloud service providers, network management companies, and any organization that relies on efficient network function deployment.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the hierarchical configuration model improve the deployment process of network functions? 2. What are the key advantages of deploying unique configuration instructions across multiple network functions with a single request?
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for receiving and processing a request to deploy network functions across one or more deployment areas of a telecommunications network. Systems described herein process a request by applying a hierarchical configuration model including a hierarchy of configuration management instructions that can be applied to a request that complies with a format of the hierarchical configuration model. Features described herein facilitate deployment of unique configuration instructions across multiple network functions and across multiple deployment areas based on a single request and without further user interaction with respect to each of multiple network functions.
