Patent number: 11178049Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning network services include receiving a provisioning request and, in response, initiating a first configuration operation in which a network address is assigned to a piece of network equipment for providing the network service. A network service path is established to the address such that when the equipment is connected to the network, a second configuration operation may be initiated in which the equipment is initialized to perform one or more network functions in support of the network service. Submission of provisioning requests may be conducted through a portal or similar environment that further enables users to analyze, modify, or otherwise manage their network equipment and services.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Eric D. Gundersen, Steven M. Rdzak, Rene Grippo
