Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented method for assigning a classification to a network fabric design comprising:
given a wiring diagram that comprises a representations of a network fabric design comprising a plurality of networking elements, in which a network element is a functional system or device, and network-related connections between networking elements, using the wiring diagram as a graph representation, in which a networking element is a node in the graph representation and a connection between networking elements is an edge in the graph representation;
for each edge, generating an edge feature representation using one or more features about the edge;
generating an adjacency matrix using the edge feature representations;
generating a degree matrix which represents, for a networking element, its number of connections;
computing a normalized adjacency matrix using the adjacency matrix and the degree matrix;
for each networking element, generating a feature representation using one or more features about the networking element;
using the feature representations from the networking elements of the network fabric design to form a feature matrix;
inputting the feature matrix into a trained graph convolution network (GCN) that uses the input feature matrix and the normalized adjacency matrix to compute a classification probability for a set of classes regarding the network fabric design; and
responsive to a classification probability for a class from the set of classes exceeding a threshold value, assigning a classification associated with that class to the network fabric design.
