AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing network management systems lack effective mechanisms to detect and manage the availability of indirectly connected southbound nodes, leading to traffic being routed to unreachable nodes, causing service disruptions and performance degradation.

Method used

A system that uses REST API notifications from directly connected nodes to monitor the availability of indirectly connected nodes, suspending communication ports when unavailability is detected, and rerouting traffic to a standby network entity to maintain network continuity.

Benefits of technology

Ensures uninterrupted network traffic by preventing routing to unavailable nodes, reducing latency, and automatically restoring communication paths when nodes become available, thus enhancing network reliability and performance.

Abstract

The disclosure provides a method (600) and a system (108) managing communication for source nodes (302) in a network (106). A primary transport load balancer (TLB) (304) receives an API call from directly connected southbound nodes (308) indicating the unavailability of the indirectly connected southbound nodes (310). Upon receiving the notification, the primary TLB (306) suspends listening points corresponding to the source nodes (302). Subsequently, the source nodes (302) divert traffic towards a standby TLB (306) connected to the operational southbound nodes (312). After a predefined time interval, if the primary TLB (304) receives the API call regarding the availability of indirectly connected southbound nodes (310), the primary TLB (304) resumes the listening points. This enables the primary TLB (304) to seamlessly reinstate traffic handling without requiring manual intervention. The method (600) ensures continuous service delivery by dynamically switching between the primary TLB (304) and the standby TLB (306).
