    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method by a network device includes receiving a handshake message for a traffic flow from a Software-Defined Wide-Area Network (SDWAN) and determining, from a traffic policy, whether the traffic flow should be symmetrical. In response to determining from the traffic policy that the traffic flow should be symmetrical, the method further includes performing a flow lookup on the traffic flow to determine if the network device originated the traffic flow. In response to determining that the network device did not originate the traffic flow, the method further includes determining a second network device that originated the traffic flow and sending the handshake message for the traffic flow to the second network device in order to maintain symmetry for the traffic flow.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, computer readable medium, and circuits for managing encryption keys in a multi-tenant network edge device. According to at least one example, a method includes: receiving tenant resource information at the multi-tenant network edge device; generating at least one parent encryption key; generating a plurality of child encryption keys; creating a routing connection to a network controller for each tenant in the plurality of tenants; transmitting the at least one parent encryption key and the plurality of child encryption keys to the network controller for distribution to the plurality of tenants; receiving a plurality of advertisements of transport locators from the network controller, wherein each advertisement includes a parent encryption key or a child encryption key; selecting a set of encryption keys from the plurality of advertisements; and forming a secure tunnel.

    Abstract: Techniques for virtualizing tenant transport interfaces configured to implement pertenant network routing attribute differentiation in each tenant overlay of a multisite wide area network (WAN) and share the virtual transport interfaces between multi-tenant edge (MTE) devices providing transport services to tenant devices based on a defined tenant tier model. A Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller may receive a physical transport interface and/or a device type associated with a tenant device. The SDN controller may determine a virtual transport interface for the tenant device based on a tier associated with the tenant. MTE device(s) may utilize the physical transport interface to establish sessions with other MTE device(s) in the WAN. The virtual transport interface may be utilized by MTE devices to implement and/or enforce network routing attributes when forwarding network traffic associated with the tenant via the sessions established between the MTE devices through the WAN.

    Abstract: A method for allocating resources of a virtual controller is disclosed. The method comprises: allocating resources of a virtual controller to a first tenant, wherein the first tenant is allocated a first tenant quantity of guaranteed resources of the virtual controller and a second tenant is allocated a second tenant quantity of guaranteed resources of the virtual controller; determining that resources requested by the first tenant are greater than the first tenant quantity of guaranteed resources; determining that the virtual controller has unutilized resources sufficient to at least partially provide additional resources beyond the first tenant quantity of guaranteed resources to the first tenant; and temporarily provisioning the additional resources to the first tenant, wherein the additional resources are greater than the first tenant quantity of guaranteed resources.

    Abstract: Techniques for virtualizing tenant transport interfaces configured to implement per-tenant network routing attribute differentiation in each tenant overlay of a multisite wide area network (WAN) and share the virtual transport interfaces between multi-tenant edge (MTE) devices providing transport services to tenant devices based on a defined tenant tier model. A Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller may receive a physical transport interface and/or a device type associated with a tenant device. The SDN controller may determine a virtual transport interface for the tenant device based on a tier associated with the tenant. MTE device(s) may utilize the physical transport interface to establish sessions with other MTE device(s) in the WAN.
