System and method to orchestrate and control sequence of recovery actions for resumption of business services by dynamically changing recovery action sequence based on feedback received from agent/open flow based devices catering to both traditional and software defined networks

摘要

Disclosed is a system and method for enabling a SNMP based Network Management System in cooperation with at least one SDN Controller to control sequence of recovery actions and dynamically change the recovery action sequence for a given fault based on the feedback received from an SNMP Agent/Open flow based devices across various systems/platforms for recovering a business service which is achieved by way of Open flow stack enhancements and OF-CONFIG enhancements at the controller end and device end. The present invention is essentially about extending the ability to initiate and perform dynamic recovery actions in a network supporting both the traditional SNMP based management systems & Open flow based SDN Control.
