Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium configured for generating a network configuration using a large language model (LLM). The apparatus receives, at an interface between a user and LLM, a natural language intent for a network configuration. The apparatus requests the large language model to update the network configuration to an updated network configuration that satisfies the natural language intent in a declarative network configuration language. The apparatus verifies whether the updated network configuration satisfies a configuration syntax of the declarative network configuration language to detect an error. The apparatus requests the large language model to update the updated network configuration to correct the error. The apparatus deploys the updated network configuration to a user network.

Abstract: Embodiments may relate to pruning a distributed database for a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. A node may transmit a first multicast beacon over the P2P network. The node may receive a unicast synchronization request in response to the first multicast beacon, the unicast synchronization request comprising a removed list for the distributed database. The node may compare the removed list to a locally stored node list to determine a node removal. The node may determine if there is a failure in a node information call made to a node relating to the node removal. The node may, subsequent to a determination of the failure, update the locally stored node list based on the node removal. The node may transmit a second multicast beacon comprising the node removal. Nodes receiving the second multicast beacon may update a locally stored removed list using the node removal.

Abstract: In embodiments, a computer system of a primary entity receives from a secondary entity a first communication about a relationship instance between the primary entity and the secondary entity, and transmits to an Online Service Provider (OSP) a second communication with a dataset. The dataset has dataset parameters about the relationship instance. The second communication causes the OSP to select a file template per the dataset, to produce a resource for the dataset, and to prepare a digital exhibit that is arranged to report the resource as answering the identified requirement. The OSP then transmits to the computer system a third communication that includes an access indicator adapted to facilitate viewing the digital exhibit. Upon receiving the third communication, the computer system transmits a fourth communication to the device of the secondary entity, the fourth communication including the access indicator.

Abstract: An autonomous distributed wise area network (AD-WAN) includes several nodes, where each node connects a local area network to an open wide area network, and provides tunnels over the open wide area network to other nodes in the AD-WAN so that computing resources behind each node can communicate as if they were located on a common intranet. Each node has a blockchain wallet and receives updates to a private permissioned blockchain ledger for that AD-WAN. The updates are provided by a control node. Set up, and subsequent change to the AD-WAN are commenced via a customer portal which provides order information to the control node, where the control node processes the order information and generates a blockchain update that informs the affected nodes in the AD-WAN as to what changes are to be made. As a result, the blockchain provides both control plane and order management operation of the AD-WAN.
