Methods, systems and computer readable media for isolating network faults are provided. A data driven automation services module is provided including a data connector, a data driven policy designer and a data driven self-service engine. The data connector collects data from the plurality of network data sources and integrates the data into shared communities for insight development. The data driven policy designer creates and stores templates and develops policies to implement service tasks to identify and isolate network problems. The data driven self-service engine integrates the network and its orchestration capabilities with big data technology to develop a plurality of microservices to perform service tasks.

Data driven systems and methods to isolate network faults

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising receiving an initial request for content from a first user; sending one or more subsequent requests to other user(s), such as those at or near a location associated with the live content; receiving replies from the other users; presenting options to and receiving a selection from the first user; sending a confirmation request to a selected user; and receiving, by the first user, the live content from the selected user. In some embodiments, the method includes charging first user a fee for requesting and/or receiving the live content; and paying a fee to the selected user. The second fee may be specified by the selected user. In any case, the users need not know each other. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods, systems and computer readable media for isolating network faults are provided. A data driven automation services module is provided Including a data connector, a data driven policy designer and a data driven self-service engine. The data connector collects data from the plurality of network data sources and integrates the data into shared communities for insight development. The data driven policy designer creates and stores templates and develops policies to implement service tasks to identify and isolate network problems. The data driven self-service engine integrates the network and its orchestration capabilities with big data technology to develop a plurality of microservices to perform service tasks.

A policy driven automated micro-service system comprising: a data collector, an analyzer, a virtual function manager, a decision engine, and a portal; the virtual function manager in communication with at least one virtual function and configured to collect at least one of a data and a metric therefrom; the data collector in communication with the virtual function manager and configured to retrieve at least one of the data and the metric therefrom; the analyzer in communication with the data collector and configured to analyze at least one of the data and the metric collected by the data collector; and the decision engine in communication with the analyzer and the portal, the decision engine configured to initiate an action based on an analysis from the analyzer, wherein the action includes providing an instruction to reset a uCPE device, reload a software, reload a vendor virtual function, and engage a transport automation.

Policy driven automation system for customer care

A method, computer-readable storage device, and an apparatus for reducing power consumption in a wireless network are disclosed. For example, the method performs an analysis of a usage pattern for a cell site, determines whether a threshold is reached for reducing the power consumption based on the analysis of the usage pattern, and reduces the power consumption when the threshold is reached for reducing the power consumption.

Method and apparatus for reducing cell site power consumption in a wireless network

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for a service assurance platform. A service assurance platform can be provided by a computing device comprising a processor. The computing device can obtain a service order comprising a request for functionality. The computing device can initiate determination of service offerings available to provide the functionality and initiate presentation of the service offerings determined to be available. The computing device can obtain a selection of a service offering of the service offerings and initiate orchestration of the service offering to instantiate a service that provides the functionality.

Service assurance platform as a user-defined service

Adaptive processing of alert messages allows proactive maintenance. Alert messages are monitored and compared to a threshold. If a threshold number of the alert messages is exceeded, diagnostic codes are retrieved and a query value may be adjusted.

Adaptive analysis of diagnostic messages

A method and apparatus for providing automated processing of a switched voice alarm on a switched and/or Internet Protocol (IP) network are disclosed. For example, the method receives an alarm associated with a switched voice service, and retrieves a Local Routing Number (LRN) or Primary Inter-exchange Carrier (PIC) information from a switch serving a call associated with a caller's telephone number. The method determines if the alarm is due to one or more service degradations, and notifies a work center responsible for one or more of the service degradations if the alarm is due to the one or more service degradations.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to diagnosing problems in a dual stack network supporting Internet Protocol Version Six (IPV6). Inventoried information can be retrieved from an inventory system in response to a problem associated the dual stack network. It can be determined whether a mismatch exists between live customer address information associated with a customer edge router and the inventoried information. A notification can be generated in response to determining whether a mismatch exists. The notification includes information representing a cause of the problem and resolution of the problem.

Diagnosing network problems in an IPV6 dual stack network

Example methods, apparatus and articles to manage routing in networks are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes identifying a first network element associated with a problematic network element; identifying a first maximum transmission unit of the first network element and a second maximum transmission unit of the problematic network element; determining whether the first and second maximum transmission units are different; and when the first and second maximum transmission units are different, identifying a value of a greater one of the first and second maximum transmission units and configuring the first network element and the problematic network element to each have the identified value.

Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to manage routing in networks

A method and system for adaptive processing of alert messages exchanged between applications is disclosed. The system may include a diagnostic engine coupled to a plurality of applications. A plurality of application alert messages may be monitored to determine if the alerts exceed a predetermined threshold. If a threshold number of alert messages is exceeded, an interface status based on a diagnostic code for the interface may be determined. A query value for the interface may be adjusted. Based on the amount of the increase in the alert messages, different actions may be indicated. An administrator for the application interface or for equipment associated with the interface may be notified for servicing the equipment.
