System and method for cloud-based implementation of control of focused overload of network element (COFO-NE)

摘要

A system and method for cloud-based implementation of control of focused overload of network elements is disclosed. Resource blocks are obtained for a signaling part of a network element from a variety of networked resources. The resource blocks are integrated into a pool and a unified view is presented to applications and services communicating with the signaling part of the network element. The signaling part of the network element controls allocation of resources from a media part of the network element via instructions over virtual private network links. Resource blocks for the media part of the network element are obtained from a variety of networked resources, wherein the resource blocks are integrated into a pool and a unified view is presented to the signaling part of the network element. The media part of the network element uses the resource blocks for the applications and services for a duration of time, and additional borrowed resources are released after successful utilization.

1. A method comprising: obtaining, for protection of network resources from overload and for disaster management, resource blocks for a signaling part of a distributed virtual network element that is hosted on a plurality of distributed tangible networked elements including a plurality of distributed computing processors communicatively coupled to a plurality of distributed storage devices from a variety of networked resources, wherein the resource blocks are integrated into a pool and a unified view of the pool as part of the distributed virtual network element is presented to applications and services communicating with the signaling part of the distributed virtual service network element;
controlling, by the signaling part of the distributed virtual network element, allocation of the resources from the media part of the distributed virtual network element via instructions over virtual network links; obtaining resource blocks for the media part of the distributed virtual network element from the variety of networked resources, wherein the resource blocks are integrated into a pool and a unified view the pool is presented to the signaling part of the distributed virtual network element; and allocating and using the resource blocks for the applications and services for a duration of time; and releasing the resources after utilization.
