Patent number: 11283679Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for automatically identifying counters/features of a network component that are related to a state change (or event) for the network component or for the network itself. For example, using data obtained from the network component around a time of the state change, delta-averages for the counters/features around the time of the state change may be determined. The delta-averages may be utilized to determine which counters/features are most descriptive for a particular state change. Determining which counters/features are most descriptive may also include determining which counters/features are most relevant, i.e., counters/features that contribute most to preserving the manifold structure of the original data or counters/features with the highest or lowest correlation with the other counters/features in the data set.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Michel-Ange Feltin, Wenqin Shao, Parisa Foroughi, Frank Brockners

Patent number: 11115280Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for automatically identifying counters/features of a network component that are related to a state change (or event) for the network component or for the network itself. For example, using data obtained from the network component around a time of the state change, delta averages for the features around the time of the state change may be determined. The delta averages may be utilized to determine which counters/features are most descriptive for a particular state change. The counter/features that are the most descriptive for a particular state change is as important as the change detection itself. This is especially true since in a case of an event/state change occurring, a large amount of counters/features may react to the state change or event. Thus, the techniques described herein provide for an approach to distill which counters/features contribute the most to a particular state change from a data driven perspective.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Wenqin Shao, Frank Brockners, Parisa Foroughi, Thomas Michel-Ange Feltin
