Abstract: This disclosure provides a method and system for automatic creation of software features for a heterogeneous network based on human behavioral analysis. This system tracks user information and the user's behavior over time in order to generate a historical database of their behavior. This system receives a request from the user to access data describing a communications network, via a first screen of a user interface. This request, as well as information about the user which is stored in the historical database and information about network devices associated with the user, is analyzed using statistical or machine learning methods. Based on this analysis, requirements for a software feature are generated. These requirements are made into a software feature that can be a second screen of screen displayed on the user interface, a report sent to the user, or a prompt to the user based on the user's past behavior.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method and system for an intelligent navigation and interface generation system (INS). This system receives a request to access data describing a communications network, via a first screen of a user interface. A prompt for instructing a large language model (LLM) to generate a structured view descriptor that specifies a second screen of a plurality of screens, of the user interface and a set of data to query for display in the second screen is constructed. The prompt is provided to the LLM to generate the structured view descriptor based on the prompt. The structured view descriptor is provided to the user interface to display a new version of the second screen responsive to the request.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method for computing a path across multi-vendor and multi-generational equipment where the latter can include obsolete equipment. Some embodiments include utilizing service hierarchies to determine available bandwidth in a fiber optic network given an input frequency width (FW) for wavelength carrier service routing, determining available routes that satisfy the FW, as well as timeslot availability (e.g., bandwidth availability) along an established carrier service at a specified client service data rate. Some embodiments include mapping a lowest transmission rate of the obsolete equipment to various fiber optic network standards. Some embodiments utilize the mapped information with OTN service discovery and service hierarchies to track timeslots of the obsolete equipment along the computed path across multi-vendor and multi-generational networks. Some embodiments include carrier service bridging and timeslot switching as well as path trace verification.

Abstract: Some embodiments enable the interpretation and transformation of unstructured human input to enable end-to-end service visibility across a transport network. Some embodiments include assembling and sending a prompt to a large language model (LLM) to interpret and transform examples of unstructured human input describing a circuit to network element (NE) information, where the NE information can be used to identify neighbor devices between different vendor products providing a service. The LLM can output data points that enable identifying neighboring devices on an end-to-end service path that includes multi-vendor and/or multigenerational devices. The data points used in conjunction with inventory data enables neighboring connections to be determined so that islands of different multi-vendor and/or multigenerational devices can be connected to neighbor devices along the end-to-end service path. The neighboring connections can be added to an inventory database enabling visibility end-to-end service path.

Abstract: Embodiments providing improved systems and methods deploying, monitoring, and troubleshooting optical physical layer networks are needed. In one embodiment, networks are first constructed in a specialized network factory, where they are racked, provisioned, audited, and tested by relevant experts in each technology. Then the equipment is custom-crated—with all cards, patch cords, labels, and provisioning in place—before being shipped to field locations. A production network health baseline is captured that creates a set of norms that later performance data can be compared against. Once the network is operational, the network health is monitored and compared against the baseline. If there's a deviation sufficient to satisfy a user-defined rule, a remedial action can be triggered. In another embodiment, a method isolates a problem in an optical transport network.

Abstract: Embodiments providing improved systems and methods deploying, monitoring, and troubleshooting optical physical layer networks are needed. A baseline may be created and performance data is extracted. The performance data is compared against user-defined rules to determine an appropriate action. In one embodiment, networks are first constructed in a specialized network factory, where they are racked, provisioned, audited, and tested by relevant experts in each technology. In another embodiment, a method isolates a problem in an optical transport network. When a problem is identified, the layers are repeatedly evaluated to identify the device operating at the lowest layer where an error occurs. That device is identified as being likely faulty.
