Abstract
A technique involves modular storage of network service plan components and provisioning of same. A subset of the capabilities of a service design system can be granted to a sandbox system to enable customization of service plan offerings or other controls.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a network service plan provisioning system configured to communicate with an access network, the network service plan provisioning including a memory and a processor;
- the memory storing a first traffic classification filter of a first service plan component and a second traffic classification filter of a second service plan component, the first traffic classification filter being configured to filter a traffic event and the second traffic classification filter being configured to filter the traffic event;
- the processor configured to:
- determine a superposition of the first traffic classification filter over the second traffic classification filter;
- create network provisioning instructions, using the first service plan component and the second service plan component, in response to determining the superposition, wherein the network provisioning instructions include traffic inspection provisioning instructions for filtering the traffic event;
- and
- provide the network provisioning instructions to the access network to enable filtering the traffic event.
A method for use by a system comprising a network service plan provisioning system configured to communicate with an access network, the network service plan provisioning system including a processor and a memory storing a first traffic classification filter of a first service plan component and a second traffic classification filter of a second service plan component, the first traffic classification filter being configured to filter a traffic event and the second traffic classification filter being configured to filter the traffic event, the method comprising:
- determining, by the processor, a superposition of the first traffic classification filter over the second traffic classification filter;
- creating, by the processor, network provisioning instructions, using the first service plan component and the second service plan component, in response to determining the superposition, wherein the network provisioning instructions include traffic inspection provisioning instructions for filtering the traffic event;
- and
- providing, by the processor, the network provisioning instructions to the access network to enable filtering the traffic event.
