Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a system for hierarchically orchestrating network traffic including a network orchestration module and multiple device orchestration modules. The device orchestration module is configured to receive network traffic. The device orchestration module may transmit device data to the network orchestration module. The network orchestration module is configured to perform a network level orchestration to coordinate network traffic across multiple device orchestration modules based on the device data received by the device orchestration modules. The device orchestration module comprises a routing layer configured to forward network traffic to downstream computing devices. The device orchestration module includes a compute node configured to perform a device level orchestration of the network traffic between the routing nodes of the device orchestration module.
