  • Configuration and/or deployment of a service based on location information and network performance indicators of network devices that are to be used to support the service
    Patent number: 11095532
    Abstract: A device receives a request for a service and identifies, based on information included in the request, a set of sites that include a set of network devices that are capable of being used to support the service. The device obtains network performance indicator (NPI) data that is associated with a subset of network devices, of the set of network devices, and that includes NPI values that satisfy a set of performance criteria. The device causes the NPI data to be made available via an interface accessible to a user. The device receives device selection data that specifies a plurality of network devices, of the subset of network devices, that have been selected by the user. The device causes cause the plurality of network devices to be configured in a manner that allows the plurality of network devices to support the service.
