Patent number: 12278742Abstract: Systems and methods of disconnecting a network service provided over a network service path include using a computing device that obtains a service identifier assigned to network service and identifies a port of a network device included in a network service path associated with the service. The computing device transmits a request to the network device for port configuration data of the network device and based on the received port configuration data, determines whether the port is assigned to the network service. If so, the computing devices executes a remediation operation which includes transmitting a reconfiguration command to the network device that is adapted to cause the network device to update the port configuration data to free the port.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2024Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: Level 3 Communicatios, LLCInventors: Brian V. H. Nguyen, Shellie Wickham
