Overview
Cisco® Robotic Operations Based on Telemetry (ROBOT) is a platform that brings together telemetry, big data, machine learning, and model driven APIs to redefine service provider network operations by addressing various pain points, such as network planning, outages, and troubleshooting complexity. This application demonstrates how taking a link out of service affects network performance and performs the method of procedure (MOP), if so chosen.
