  • Patent number: 11477069
    Abstract: An example method includes detecting a first replay event in a production flow being processed by a service assurance platform of a telecommunications service provider network, where the production flow comprises a stream of production events and a stream of replay events including at least the first replay event, processing the first replay event to generate a ticket for the first replay event, and delivering the ticket to a database that stores a plurality of tickets generated for a plurality of replay events.

  • Publication number: 20220303129
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining that quantum entanglement be established between first and second nodes of a service provider network including a software defined network (SDN) that facilitates delivery of a service to a subscriber and identifying a path between the first node and the second node based on pre-provisioned information supplied by the SDN. A path length of the path is estimated based on the pre-provisioned information supplied by the SDN, and a repeater node is selected responsive to the path length exceeding a threshold, wherein the path includes a first segment having a segment length that does not exceed the threshold. A quantum entanglement state is shared between the first and second nodes based on transportation of a first photon of a first entangled pair of photons via the first segment. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11212181
    Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain first network analytics data from a plurality of zones of a telecommunication network, generate a set of policies from the first network analytics data via an apriori algorithm, where each policy in the set of policies comprises a pattern matching rule, and deploy policies of the set of policies to a plurality of edge devices in respective zones of the plurality of zones of the telecommunication network. The processing system may further receive, from at least one of the plurality of edge devices in one of the plurality of zones, a first alert of a first policy trigger of a first policy of the set of policies, and transmit a notification to a software defined network controller of the first policy trigger.
