Abstract
Embodiments of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a first plurality of paths between a source and a destination included as part of a communication network or system, and providing at least a subset of the first plurality of paths to a plurality of worker nodes such that the plurality of worker nodes processes the subset of the first plurality of paths based on an optimization algorithm to generate first outputs. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining a first plurality of paths between a source and a destination, wherein the first plurality of paths is included as part of a communication network or system;
- and
- providing at least a subset of the first plurality of paths to a plurality of worker nodes such that the plurality of worker nodes processes the subset of the first plurality of paths in parallel based on an optimization algorithm to generate first outputs,
- wherein the first outputs include an output that traverses a plurality of layers of the communication network or system, wherein the plurality of layers includes a L0 layer and a L3 layer, and wherein the output traverses the plurality of layers based on a fiber cut at the L0 layer and packetized traffic congestion applied at the L3 layer.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, a first plurality of paths between a source and a destination, wherein the first plurality of paths is included as part of a communication network or system;
- and
- providing, by the processing system, at least a subset of the first plurality of paths to a plurality of worker nodes such that the plurality of worker nodes processes the subset of the first plurality of paths in parallel based on an optimization algorithm to generate first outputs,
- wherein the first outputs include an output that traverses a plurality of layers of the communication network or system, wherein the plurality of layers includes a L0 layer and a L3 layer, and wherein the output traverses the plurality of layers based on a fiber cut at the L0 layer and packetized traffic congestion applied at the L3 layer.
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining a first plurality of paths between a source and a destination, wherein the first plurality of paths is included as part of a communication network or system;
- and
- providing at least a subset of the first plurality of paths to a plurality of worker nodes such that the plurality of worker nodes processes the subset of the first plurality of paths in parallel based on an optimization algorithm to generate first outputs,
- wherein the first outputs include an output that traverses a plurality of layers of the communication network or system, wherein the plurality of layers includes a L0 layer and a L3 layer, and wherein the output traverses the plurality of layers based on a fiber cut at the L0 layer and packetized traffic congestion applied at the L3 layer.
