Dial-out telemetry for network management - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18623444 titled 'Dial-out telemetry for network management
The abstract describes a patent application for dial-out telemetry for network management, involving a tunnel client that forms a tunnel service for telemetry within a dialed-out tunnel to a tunnel server. This tunnel service connects a network element to a network management system and maintains the service through keepalives, even during software upgrades.
- Tunnel client creates a tunnel service for telemetry within a dialed-out tunnel to a tunnel server.
- Tunnel service connects a network element to a network management system.
- Keepalives are used to preserve the tunnel service, even during software upgrades.
Potential Applications: - Network management systems - Telemetry services in network elements - Remote monitoring and control of network devices
Problems Solved: - Ensuring continuous telemetry data transmission during software upgrades - Maintaining connectivity between network elements and management systems
Benefits: - Seamless telemetry data transmission - Improved network management efficiency - Enhanced reliability of network monitoring
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Network Telemetry for Efficient Management" This technology can be utilized in telecommunications companies, data centers, and IT service providers to enhance network monitoring capabilities and streamline management processes.
Questions about Dial-out Telemetry for Network Management: 1. How does the tunnel client ensure the tunnel service is maintained during software upgrades? The tunnel client preserves the tunnel service via keepalives, ensuring continuous connectivity even during software upgrades.
2. What are the key benefits of using dial-out telemetry for network management? Dial-out telemetry enables seamless data transmission, improved network management efficiency, and enhanced reliability in monitoring network elements.
Original Abstract Submitted
Dial-out telemetry for network management includes a tunnel client configured to form a tunnel service for telemetry inside a dialed-out tunnel from the tunnel client to a tunnel server, wherein the tunnel service is between a network element, communicatively coupled to the tunnel client, and a network management system communicatively coupled to the tunnel server, and preserve the tunnel service via keepalives including during a software upgrade associated with any of the network management system and the network element and with the tunnel service itself.
