UPDATING A VIRTUAL NETWORK TOPOLOGY BASED ON MONITORED APPLICATION DATA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a traffic trending engine to determine historical data trends for application data traffic monitored over a virtualized routing infrastructure in a network;
a topology determination engine to determine an updated virtual network topology for the virtualized routing infrastructure based on the determined historical data trends; and
a network scaling engine to automatically scale the virtualized routing infrastructure to achieve the updated virtual network topology.

Abstract
In some examples, data traffic over a virtual network can be monitored for an application. An existing topology for the virtual network can be updated based on the monitored data. The updated topology can, for example, be determined to better handle predicted data traffic for the application. The topology of the virtual network can then be updated to achieve the determined updated virtual network topology.

12. A method comprising:
-
monitoring data traffic for a predetermined software application routed through a virtual network infrastructure; determining, based on the monitored data traffic, an updated virtual network topology that is to better handle predicted data traffic for the predetermined software application; and updating the topology of the virtual network infrastructure to achieve the determined updated virtual network topology. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A memory resource storing instructions that when executed causes a processing resource to implement a virtual network topology updating system, the instructions comprising:
-
a data traffic monitoring module that, when executed, causes the processing resource to monitor data traffic over a virtual network for a software application; a historical trend module that, when executed, causes the processing resource to determine historical trends in the monitored data traffic; a network topology determination module that, when executed, causes the processing resource to determine, based on the determined historical trends, an updated virtual network topology for the virtual network to improve network performance of the software application; and a network topology update module that, when executed, causes the processing resource to update the topology of the virtual network to achieve the determined updated virtual network topology.
