Noblis Awarded Patent for Network Resiliency System
David Garbin, Noblis
Noblis has been awarded a patent for a “System and Method for Improving Network Resiliency.”
The system was invented by Noblis Senior Fellow David Garbin and Joseph Knepley Jr., and was developed to toughen network infrastructures in environments where traditional methods frequently fail.
The system analyzes the underlying physical characteristics of a network’s topology to identify physically diverse backup routing paths among nodes in the network. The system takes as input the number of diverse paths desired and characteristics used to choose the most desirable paths, such as delay, flow, or cost. The system then searches for multiple solutions for the selected number of diverse paths within the network.
“Everything depends on networks. In today’s society, the integrity of high availability networks is essential to the operational success of business and government,” says Garbin. “High availability networks require resilient, physically diverse and redundant paths that can withstand damage that is both natural and manmade. We recognized vulnerabilities in the traditional methods used to assess network resilience and developed a means to enhance the integrity of this critical infrastructure using multiple redundant paths.”
