METHOD FOR AUTOMATED PROVISION OF A VIRTUAL CHANNEL BY A COMMUNICATION OPERATOR BETWEEN DATA PROCESSING CENTERS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G06F15/173 

FIELD: computer technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of computer technology. The expected result is achieved due to the method for forming a virtual channel between data processing centers (DPC) using a software-configurable network controller (SCN), in which the SCN controller: receives a request to create a record of the tenant of virtual channels and a sign of compliance with the tenant’s virtual channel maintenance mode, generates a data set of virtual channel tenants, receives a request to form a virtual channel, builds a virtual channel route, adds records about the virtual channel to the traffic organization data set, adds records about the ownership of the virtual channel to the tenant to the data set of virtual channel tenants, executes a series of requests to switches to configure switches along the built virtual channel route with the formation of a virtual channel in one direction, and in response to the virtual channel termination condition executes a series of requests to switches along the built virtual channel route to remove traffic processing and routing rules of the virtual channel.

EFFECT: increase in the stability of the created virtual communication channels.
