US Patent 12068923 Path computation with direct enforcement of non-local constraints

Systems and methods include creating a graph of a network having i) vertices representing ports, and ii) edges representing possible connections between vertices; receiving a request for one or more paths in the network; traversing the graph to determine the one or more paths; responsive to encountering a non-local constraint in the graph, adding a traversal state based thereon; and responsive to satisfying the non-local constraint in the graph, removing the traversal state based thereon.
