Path computation element protocol response and simple network management protocol confirmation for tunnel configuration
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a processor deployed in a telecommunication network; and
a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;
receiving a request from a router of the telecommunication network for a tunnel to a destination in the telecommunication network;
sending a response to the router, wherein the response includes at least one path comprising the tunnel through the telecommunication network to the destination;
receiving a trap message from the router, wherein the trap message includes a confirmation that the at least one path is deployed and is in use in routing of traffic by the router; and
updating, responsive to the confirmation, at least one record for the at least one path in response to the trap message, wherein the updating comprises updating a status of a utilization of the at least one path in the at least one record.

Abstract
Devices, computer-readable media and methods are disclosed for managing path utilizations for telecommunication network tunnels. For example, a processor deployed in a telecommunication network may receive a request from a router of the telecommunication network for a tunnel to a destination in the telecommunication network, send a response to the router that includes at least one path comprising the tunnel through the telecommunication network to the destination, receive a trap message from the router that includes a confirmation that the at least one path is utilized by the router, and update at least one record for the at least one path in response to the trap message, where the at least one record indicates a status of a utilization of the at least one path.

1. A device comprising:
-
a processor deployed in a telecommunication network; and a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising; receiving a request from a router of the telecommunication network for a tunnel to a destination in the telecommunication network; sending a response to the router, wherein the response includes at least one path comprising the tunnel through the telecommunication network to the destination; receiving a trap message from the router, wherein the trap message includes a confirmation that the at least one path is deployed and is in use in routing of traffic by the router; and updating, responsive to the confirmation, at least one record for the at least one path in response to the trap message, wherein the updating comprises updating a status of a utilization of the at least one path in the at least one record. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor deployed in a telecommunication network, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
receiving a request from a router of the telecommunication network for a tunnel to a destination in the telecommunication network; sending a response to the router, wherein the response includes at least one path comprising the tunnel through the telecommunication network to the destination; receiving a trap message from the router, wherein the trap message includes a confirmation that the at least one path is deployed and is in use in routing of traffic by the router; and updating, responsive to the confirmation, at least one record for the at least one path in response to the trap message, wherein the updating comprises updating a status of a utilization of the at least one path in the at least one record. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a processor deployed in a telecommunication network, a request from a router of the telecommunication network for a tunnel to a destination in the telecommunication network; sending, by the processor, a response to the router, wherein the response includes at least one path comprising the tunnel through the telecommunication network to the destination; receiving, by the processor, a trap message from the router, wherein the trap message includes a confirmation that the at least one path is deployed and is in use in routing of traffic by the router; and updating, by the processor and responsive to the confirmation, at least one record for the at least one path in response to the trap message, wherein the updating comprises updating a status of a utilization of the at least one path in the at least one record.
