Abstract
A method for provisioning subscribers, products, and services in a broadband network includes establishing a directory system for storing information about a plurality of subscribers. The directory system includes a subscriber namespace and a device namespace. A subscriber is added by instantiating a subscriber object for the subscriber in the subscriber namespace. Each available service has its own state in the directory system to provide a multi-state provisioning system that permits granular management services.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- instantiating a user object for a user in a user namespace;
- instantiating a device object for the user in a device namespace, the device object comprising information related to user equipment associated with the user;
- retrieving configuration parameters that identify one or more services available to the user;
- for each of the one or more services available to the user, instantiating a corresponding service object for the user in a service namespace, resulting in one or more instantiated service objects, each of the one or more instantiated service objects comprising a state identifier;
- and
- populating, based at least in part on the configuration parameters, by a computing device, each of the one or more instantiated service objects by at least setting the state identifier of each of the one or more instantiated service objects to indicate an active service state.
