Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a communications network; a first network resource communicatively coupled with the communications network, the first network resource comprising one or more components, each component of the first network resource having predictable latencies and adapted to handle network signaling and transport processes; a first enabler communicatively coupled with the first network resource, the first enabler comprising one or more components, each component of the first enabler individually having greater latencies than each of the individual components of the first network resource and adapted to control the first network resource; an adapter communicatively coupled with the first network resource and the first enabler, the adapter comprising one or more components, each component of the adapter individually having greater latencies than each of the individual components of the first network resource and lower latencies than each of the individual components of the first enabler and adapted to react to network events and signaling of the communications network not handled by the resource; and an orchestrator communicatively coupled with the first enabler and adapted to orchestrate behavior of the first network resource via the first enabler, wherein the orchestrator applies a set of rules or performs one or more predefined processes for a particular network event where application logic or configuration decisions are applied.
