Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to provisioning services from a network. For example, a method described herein can include facilitating receiving a provisioning request for a network provisioning task. Further, the method can include, based on the network provisioning task, selecting a logical provisioning template to facilitate a performance of the network provisioning task. Further, based on the logical provisioning template, the method can include identifying a programming object comprising logical commands for the performance of the network provisioning task. The method can include executing the logical commands of the programming object to control service implementation equipment to perform the network provisioning task.

Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for minimizing customer impact during network access migrations. For instance, in one example, a method includes detecting a change in an access network that affects a first network circuit connecting a customer premises to a first provider edge router and provisioning a second network circuit in response to the detecting, wherein the provisioning comprises taking an action to preserve a wide area network internet protocol address of the customer premises on the first network circuit in the second network circuit.

Abstract: Devices, computer-readable media, and methods for reclaiming and reallocating stranded Internet Protocol assets are disclosed. In one example, a method includes acquiring a plurality of reports detailing the usage and availability of a packet-switched network, classifying, based on the plurality of reports, a plurality of hosts in the packet-switched network, identifying, based on the classifying, a first host of the plurality of hosts from which to reclaim an Internet Protocol asset, and reclaiming the Internet Protocol asset from the first host and reassigning the Internet Protocol asset to a pool of available Internet Protocol assets.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving instructions to validate a configuration associated with an application under test, the instructions identifying the application under test that exists in a first particular software environment that is selected from among a plurality of software environments; receiving dependency data, the dependency data identifying a dependency application that exists in a second particular software environment that is selected from among the plurality of software environments; performing a first process to determine whether the application under test that exists in the first particular software environment can be instantiated as a first running application, the first process resulting in a first determination; responsive to the first determination being that the application under test that exists in the first particular software environment can be instantiated as the first running application, automatically performing with no user interaction a second p

Abstract: Facilitating multiple step network configuration activation automation based on parallel processing is provided herein. Operations of a system include based on a determination that a network activation is to be implemented on target equipment, parsing the network activation into a first group of initialization portion actions and a second group of active target actions. The operations also can include implementing, via first parallel processing, the first group of initialization portion actions on the target equipment. Further, the operations can include, based on a second determination of a completion of the implementing of the first group of initialization portion actions, implementing, via second parallel processing, the second group of active target actions on the target equipment during an implementation period. The target equipment are equipment of a virtual local area network.

Abstract: For systems that can include, but are not limited to telecommunications, content distribution, and internetworking, the technologies described herein are generally directed to deploying network services, e.g., for large inventories of network equipment, complex deployments, and different processes being handled by isolated and difficult to modify legacy systems. For example, a method described herein can include receiving, by operations support equipment comprising a processor, a provisioning request for a network provisioning task. The method can further include, based on the network provisioning task, selecting, by the operations support equipment, a logical provisioning model to facilitate processing the provisioning request. Further, the network can include, based on the logical provisioning model, identifying, by the operations support equipment, an infrastructure engine to provision network equipment corresponding to the network provisioning task.

Abstract: An integrated gateway is disclosed. In one embodiment, a gateway includes a modem, a wide area network (WAN) interface, a local area network (LAN) interface, a router module, a voice-over-internet protocol (VOIP) adapter and a session-initiation protocol (SIP) adapter. The WAN interface is in communication with a packet network, such as a VOIP network. The router module is configured to route data traffic between the WAN interface and the LAN interface. In one embodiment, the VOIP adapter, as does the SIP adapter, includes a wireless interface for wireless communication with an endpoint device. The VOIP adapter is configured to provide VOIP services between the endpoint device and the packet network. The SIP adapter is configured to provide SIP services between the endpoint device and the packet network.
