Abstract
A method of configuring network devices. The method may include, with a network orchestrator, measuring at least one characteristic of a quality of a link between a network device and the network orchestrator during a first measurement window, categorizing the link into a connection type based on the at least one characteristic, and tuning a configuration of the network device based at least in part on the connection type identified by the network orchestrator.
Claims18
A method of configuring network devices, comprising:
- with a network orchestrator:
- measuring at least one characteristic of a quality of a link between a network device and the network orchestrator during a first measurement window;
- categorizing the link into a connection type based on the at least one characteristic;
- measuring at least one reliability metric of the network device;
- changing configuration of the network device based at least in part on the connection type identified by the network orchestrator and the reliability metric of the network device;
- and
- based at least in part on the connection type, tuning the configuration in terms of a response timeout value, a retry count, and a keep-alive timeout value.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, causes a processor to perform operations, comprising:
- with a network orchestrator:
- measuring at least one characteristic of a quality of a link between a network device and the network orchestrator during a first measurement window;
- categorizing the link into a connection type based on the at least one characteristic;
- measuring at least one reliability metric of the network device;
- categorizing the network device into a number of classes based on the reliability metric of the network device;
- changing configuration of the network device based at least in part on the connection type identified by the network orchestrator and the reliability metric of the network device;
- and
- based at least in part on the connection type, tuning the configuration in terms of a response timeout value, a retry count, and a keep-alive timeout value.
A network orchestrator comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- measuring at least one characteristic of a quality of a link between a network device and the network orchestrator during a first measurement window;
- categorizing the link into a connection type based on the at least one characteristic;
- measuring at least one reliability metric of the network device, the reliability metric defining at least one of a reachability of the network device, an operating state of a management interface of the network device, or combinations thereof;
- categorizing the network device into a number of classes based on the reliability metric of the network device;
- changing configuration of the network device based at least in part on the connection type identified by the network orchestrator and the reliability metric of the network device;
- and
- based at least in part on the connection type, tuning the configuration in terms of a response timeout value, a retry count, and a keep-alive timeout value.
