Unified policy broker for configuring policy function across network devices
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11930047B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for configuring policy enforcement engines in network devices. The method involves receiving configuration information from network devices equipped with different policy enforcement engines, determining representations of policy functions, applying a unified policy model to create a unified API, and configuring policy functions across multiple engines using a user interface. The method allows for the mapping of capabilities associated with each engine, retaining differences while configuring policies effectively.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a computer system implementing the method, where a controller receives configuration information from network devices with different policy enforcement engines. The system applies a unified policy model to create a unified API, allowing for the configuration of policy functions across multiple engines through a user interface. The system also enables the mapping of capabilities associated with each engine, ensuring efficient and tailored policy enforcement based on specific network requirements. This innovative approach streamlines the configuration process and enhances the management of policy enforcement engines in complex network environments.
