Abstract
A method may include receiving a first message requesting a change associated with an Ethernet service that includes routing data from a user device to a destination device via a first service provider and a second service provider. The method may also include determining, by the first service provider, whether resources are available in a first network associated with the first service provider to fulfill the requested change and determining, by the second service provider, whether resources are available in a second network associated with the second service provider to fulfill the requested change. The method may further include sending a second indicating whether the change is accepted and in response to determining that the change is accepted, automatically implementing the change for the Ethernet service.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, from a user, a first message requesting a change to a parameter associated with an existing Ethernet service, wherein the existing Ethernet service includes routing data from a user device associated with the user to a destination device via a first service provider and a second service provider, wherein the Ethernet service is provided from a location associated with the user to a destination location serviced by the second service provider that is different from the first service provider;
- determining, by the first service provider, whether resources are available in a first network associated with the first service provider to fulfill the requested change;
- determining, by the second service provider, whether resources are available in a second network associated with the second service provider to fulfill the requested change;
- sending a second message by the first provider and to the user, wherein the second message indicates whether the change to the parameter associated with the existing Ethernet service is accepted;
- and
- in response to determining that the change is accepted, automatically implementing the change for the existing Ethernet service.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one device configured to:
- receive, from a user, a first message requesting a change to a parameter associated with an existing Ethernet service, wherein the existing Ethernet service includes routing data from a user device associated with the user to a destination device via at least a first service provider and a second service provider, wherein the Ethernet service is provided from a location associated with the user to a destination location serviced by the second service provider that is different from the first service provider,
- determine, whether resources are available in a first network associated with the first service provider to fulfill the requested change,
- determine whether resources are available in a second network associated with the second service provider to fulfill the requested change,
- send a second message to the user, wherein the second message indicates whether the change is accepted, and
- in response to determining that the change is accepted, automatically implement the change for the existing Ethernet service.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive a first message requesting a change to a parameter associated with an existing Ethernet service, wherein the existing Ethernet service includes routing data from a user device associated with the user to a destination device via a first service provider and a second service provider, wherein the Ethernet service is provided from a location associated with the user to a destination location serviced by the second service provider that is different from the first service provider;
- determine, whether resources are available in a first network associated with the first service provider to fulfill the requested change;
- determine whether resources are available in a second network associated with the second service provider to fulfill the requested change;
- send a second message to a user, wherein the second message indicates whether the change is accepted;
- and
- in response to determining that the change to the parameter is accepted, automatically implement the change for the existing Ethernet service.
