    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for upgrading vSmart controllers. In one aspect, a method includes an edge router receiving a notification from a vSmart controller that an upgrade to the controller will occur. The notification can be dynamically triggered by a centralized network management system. In some embodiments, the vSmart controller can run as a virtual machine (VM) and maintains a control plane connection with one or more edge routers in an overlay network. In response to the notification, a length of time of an expiry timer in which the edge router attempts to connect to the vSmart controller can be increased, and the edge router can connect to the vSmart controller once the increased length of time has passed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for route optimization using real time traffic feedback. A network management system can subscribe to receive streaming telemetry (e.g., at line rate) for traffic associated with one or more managed network entities (e.g., flows, sites, networks, network devices, endpoints, applications, etc.) selected for route optimization. The network management system can determine a set of possible routes for the traffic. The network management system can compute metrics (e.g., packet loss, bit rate, throughput, delay, availability, jitter, etc.) for a set of possible routes for the traffic based on the streaming telemetry. The network management system can determine an optimal route from the set of possible routes based on the metrics. The network management system can inject the optimal route into the one or more network devices receiving the traffic to override a native route (e.g., determined by a routing protocol executed by the network devices).
