  • Cloud services layer dynamic API
    Patent number: 9098346
    Abstract: A network device receives a first file having a service-specific Application Programming Interface (API) definition for a first cloud service, and loads the service-specific API definition for the first cloud service into a Cloud Services Layer (CSL) API. The network device receives a service request involving the first cloud service, and handles, at the CSL API, the service request using the service-specific API definition for the first cloud service.
    Type: Grant

  • Topology-based fault analysis in telecommunications networks
    Patent number: 5946373
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting traffic-affecting failures in a telecommunications network; by inferring the most probable location of each such failure, given multiple alarm indicators along a network circuit; correlating circuit alarms to trunk failures, or inferring trunk failures from circuit alarms; inferring the location of major network outages by topologically correlating multiple trunk failures; and filtering alarm reporting to the Fault Management System users such that only the most significant derived or inferred conditions are automatically displayed.
