Juniper Networks had one patents in robotics during Q4 2023. Juniper Networks Inc filed a patent for a network device that can optimize paths in a spine and leaf network topology by setting link metrics to a common value and removing connections outside the network. The device uses a model to determine shorter and longer paths to destinations, analyzing hop counts to perform actions based on whether they are odd, even, or a mix of both.

Application: Detecting miswirings in a spine and leaf topology of network devices (Patent ID: US20230327975A1)
The patent filed by Juniper Networks Inc. describes a method and network device for analyzing network topologies to identify paths to destinations and determine hop counts associated with those paths. The network device processes topology data using a shortest path first model to generate path data and then compares hop counts of different paths to determine if they are odd, even, or a combination of both. Based on this analysis, the network device performs actions such as identifying miswirings in the network, discarding longer paths, and generating shortest path topology data. Additionally, the network device can determine costs associated with transmitting traffic and provide alerts or data to tools for further analysis or corrective actions.
The network device utilizes a combination of topology data and hop count comparisons to efficiently analyze network configurations and identify potential issues such as miswirings. By determining the characteristics of different paths to destinations, the device can optimize routing decisions, ensure data integrity, and improve network performance. The patent also includes provisions for storing path data, performing tests on network configurations, and automating corrective actions through the dispatch of robots or autonomous vehicles. Overall, the invention aims to enhance network management and troubleshooting processes by leveraging path analysis and hop count comparisons to detect anomalies and optimize network operations.
