Abstract
A system for performing assurance of at least one network element in a network, the system comprising: at least one pacemaker, wherein the at least one pacemaker is a virtual machine in communication with a path to the at least one network element in the network, the at least one pacemaker configured to selectively provide an atomic workload to the path; a configuration analysis microservice in communication with the at least one pacemaker, the configuration analysis microservice is configured to provide a policy to the at least one pacemaker for application of the atomic workload and monitor a pulse from the atomic workload on the path.
Claims20
A system for performing assurance of at least one network element in a network, the system comprising:
- at least one pacemaker, wherein the at least one pacemaker is a virtual machine in communication with a path to the at least one network element in the network, the at least one pacemaker configured to selectively provide an atomic workload to the path at a selected probing frequency;
- a configuration analysis microservice in communication with the at least one pacemaker, the configuration analysis microservice is configured to provide a policy to the at least one pacemaker for application of the atomic workload and monitor a pulse from the atomic workload on the path.
A network device comprising:
- a processor, an input/output device coupled to the processor, and a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- launching at least one pacemaker in a data plane;
- installing a configuration analysis microservice in communication with the at least one agent;
- and
- selectively applying an atomic workload via the at least one pacemaker, to a path;
- and
- analyzing a pulse from the atomic workload on the path via the configuration analysis microservice.
