Intent-based services orchestration
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, with a computing system over a network, a request for network services from a customer, the request for network services comprising desired performance parameters for the requested network services, without information regarding any of specific hardware, specific hardware type, specific location, or specific network for providing the requested network services;
allocating, with the computing system, one or more network resources from one or more first networks of a first set of networks for providing the requested network services, based at least in part on the desired performance parameters and based at least in part on a determination that the one or more first networks is capable of providing network resources each having the desired performance parameters;
determining, with the computing system, whether at least one first network of the one or more first networks can no longer provide at least one first network resource, of the one or more network resources, having the desired performance parameters, based at least in part on one or more network performance metrics;
based on a determination that at least one first network can no longer provide at least one first network resource having the desired performance parameters, allocating, with the computing system, at least one second network resource from at least one second network of a second set of networks for supplementing provision of the requested network services having the desired performance parameters, based at least in part on one or more updated network performance metrics, thereby replacing or augmenting the at least one first network resource provided from the one or more first networks of the first set of networks; and
based on a determination that there is a conflict between at least one third network of the one or more first networks and at least one fourth network of the one or more first networks, in terms of providing the requested network services to the customer, stopping, with the computing system, allocation of one of at least one third network resource provided by the at least one third network or at least one fourth network resource provided by the at least one fourth network, and allocating, with the computing system, at least one fifth network resource provided by at least one fifth network for supplementing provision of the requested network services having the desired performance parameters, based at least in part on one or more further updated network performance metrics;
wherein the at least one fifth network is part of one of the first set of networks, the second set of networks, or a third set of networks that is separate from either the first set of networks or the second set of networks.

Abstract
Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing intent-based network services orchestration. In some embodiments, a computing system might receive, over a network, a request for network services from a customer. The request for network services might include desired performance parameters for the requested network services, without information regarding any of specific hardware, specific hardware type, specific location, or specific network for providing the requested network services. The computing system might allocate network resources from one or more networks, based at least in part on the desired performance parameters. Based on a determination that at least one network can no longer provide at least one network resource having the desired performance parameters, the computing system might allocate at least one other network resource from at least one second network, based at least in part on network performance metrics, and based at least in part on the desired performance parameters.

16. A computing system, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the computing system to; receive, over a network, a request for network services from a customer, the request for network services comprising desired performance parameters for the requested network services, without information regarding any of specific hardware, specific hardware type, specific location, or specific network for providing the requested network services; allocate one or more network resources from one or more first networks of a first set of networks for providing the requested network services, based at least in part on the desired performance parameters and based at least in part on a determination that the one or more first networks is capable of providing network resources each having the desired performance parameters; determine whether at least one first network of the one or more first networks can no longer provide at least one first network resource, of the one or more network resources, having the desired performance parameters, based at least in part on one or more network performance metrics; based on a determination that at least one first network can no longer provide at least one first network resource having the desired performance parameters, allocate at least one second network resource from at least one second network of a second set of networks for supplementing provision of the requested network services having the desired performance parameters, based at least in part on one or more updated network performance metrics, thereby replacing or augmenting the at least one first network resource provided from the one or more first networks of the first set of networks; and based on a determination that there is a conflict between at least one third network of the one or more first networks and at least one fourth network of the one or more first networks, in terms of providing the requested network services to the customer, stop allocation of one of at least one third network resource provided by the at least one third network or at least one fourth network resource provided by the at least one fourth network, and allocate at least one fifth network resource provided by at least one fifth network for supplementing provision of the requested network services having the desired performance parameters, based at least in part on one or more further updated network performance metrics; wherein the at least one fifth network is part of one of the first set of networks, the second set of networks, or a third set of networks that is separate from either the first set of networks or the second set of networks. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
