Utilizing segment routing data and network data to determine optimized network plans and to implement an optimized network plan

Abstract:

A device receives network data associated with a network that includes network devices interconnected by links, wherein the network devices utilize segment routing. The device receives segment routing data associated with the network, wherein the segment routing data at least includes a list of segments associated with paths provided through the network by two or more of the network devices and corresponding links. The device merges the network data and the segment routing data to generate merged data, and processes the merged data, with an optimization model, to determine potential network plans within a particular time period. The device identifies a potential network plan, of the potential network plans, that maximizes throughput associated with operating the network, and performs one or more actions based on the potential network plan.
