Patent number: 11615006Abstract: This disclosure describes lifecycle management (LCM) techniques for improving high availability (HA) and scalability in a virtual network. The techniques include empowering virtual network function managers (VNFMs) to provide LCM to other VNFMs in the virtual network. For example, a VNFM instance in the virtual network may autonomously update and/or improve the virtual network design, such as by deploying additional VNFM instances. A VNFM network may be able to self-organize, such as by designating a primary cluster and/or autonomously holding an election. A VNFM instance may also heal and/or redeploy another VNFM instance. The present virtual network LCM techniques may allow a virtual network to be self-sustaining while providing HA.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: David Babineau, Deng Liao, Michael Yeung

Patent number: 11379256Abstract: In one example, a Virtual Network Function Manager (VNFM) obtains, from a monitoring agent that is configured to monitor a Virtual Network Function (VNF) for a presence of a technical issue with the VNF, an indication of the presence of the technical issue with the VNF. The monitoring agent is deployed at a remote site. Based on the indication of the presence of the technical issue with the VNF, the VNFM determines a resolution for the presence of the technical issue with the VNF. The VNFM automatically implements the resolution for the presence of the technical issue with the VNF.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Vivek Agarwal, Om Prakash Suthar, Elie El Ajaltouni, Yves Jean-René do Régo, Michael Yeung

Publication number: 20210328873Abstract: A network function virtualization (NFV) platform can support virtual network functions (VNFs) whose behavior can change during their lifecycles. For example, a VNF manager of the NFV platform can receive a request to update a condition of a VNF and/or an action to perform upon satisfaction of the condition. Based on the condition and action, the VNF manager can create or store a lifecycle management policy in an extensible lifecycle management model associated with the virtual network function. Based on the lifecycle management policy, the VNF manager can monitor the virtual network function to detect satisfaction of the condition and, in response to detecting satisfaction of the condition, the VNF manager can perform the action associated with the lifecycle management policy.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Michael Yeung, Elie El Ajaltouni, Andrew Phillips, Peter Andersen

Patent number: 10423865Abstract: A system and method for paper jam prediction includes a processor, memory and a network interface. Ongoing paper jam data is received from an identified, networked multifunction peripheral. Service call data for the multifunction peripheral indicative of prior service calls is stored in the memory. A sampling window of the paper jam data prior to a service call date is defined and a point in the sampling window when no symptoms of a forthcoming paper jam were present is determined so as to define a prediction window. A relationship between paper jam data in the prediction window of the sampling window and paper jam data outside the prediction window in the sampling window is determined and incoming paper jam data is monitored relative to the relationship data.
