Abstract: Techniques for leveraging MLD capabilities at edge nodes of network fabrics to receive SNMAs from silent hosts, and creating unicast addresses from the SNMAs for the silent nodes that are used as secondary matches in a network overlay if primary unicast address lookups fail. The edge nodes described herein may act as snoopers of MLD reports in order to identify the SNMAs of the silent hosts. The edge nodes then forge unicast addresses for the silent hosts that match with the least three bytes of the SNMAs. The forged unicast addresses are presented as unicast MAC/IP mappings in the fabric overlay. In situations where a primary IP address lookup fails, the look-up device performs a secondary lookup for a mapped address that has the last three bytes of the IP address. If a mapping is found, the lookup is sent as a unicast message to the matching MAC address.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a mesh network joins a source-destination oriented partial directed acyclic graph (SDO-PDAG) between a source node and a destination node in the network. The device receives operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) packets flooded along reverse paths of the SDO-PDAG. The device determines, based on the received OAM packets, packet drop rate (PDR) capacities of different paths between the device and the destination node. The device replicates a data packet sent from the source node to the destination node along two or more of the paths between the device and the destination node, based on the determined PDR capacities of those paths.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network receives a query walker agent configured to query information from a distributed set of devices in the network based on a query. The device executes the query walker agent to identify the query. The device updates state information of the executing query walker agent using local information from the device and based on the query. The device unloads the executing query walker agent after updating the state information. The device propagates the query walker agent with the updated state information to one or more of the distributed set of devices in the network, when the updated state information does not fully answer the query.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network receives a path computation agent configured to determine a path in the network that satisfies an objective function. The device executes the path computation agent to update state information regarding the network maintained by the path computation agent. The device selects a neighbor of the device in the network to execute the path computation agent based on the updated state information regarding the network. The device instructs the selected neighbor to execute the path computation agent with the updated state information regarding the network. The device unloads the path computation agent from the device after selecting the neighbor of the device to execute the path computation agent.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a particular device in a deterministic network performs classification of one or more packets of a traffic flow between a source and a destination in the deterministic network. The particular device determines, based on the classification of the one or more packets, a requirement of the traffic flow. The particular device performs, based on the requirement, a packet operation on at least one packet of the traffic flow. The particular device sends packets of the traffic flow towards the destination via two or more paths in the deterministic network.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for integrating deterministic packet transmissions scheduling of short range local area networks (e.g., 6TiSCH networks) with deterministic packet transmission scheduling for wireless networks such as LTE/4G/5G networks. In one aspect, a wireless communication network includes a plurality of first nodes configured to communicate using a first communication protocol; and a second node configured to communicate with the plurality of first nodes using the first communication protocol and configured to communicate with a third node using a second communication protocol, the second node being further configured to map corresponding transmission schedule of the first communication protocol to a second transmission schedule for the second communication protocol.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a cloud-based service instructs one or more networking devices in a local area network (LAN) to form a virtual network overlay in the LAN that redirects traffic associated with a particular node in the LAN to the service. The service receives multicast or broadcast traffic sent by the particular node in the LAN and redirected to the service via the virtual network overlay. The service identifies a group of nodes in the network that are to receive the traffic sent by the particular node, based in part by profiling the traffic associated with the particular node. The service sends the traffic sent by the particular node to at least one networking device in the LAN with an indication of the identified group of nodes in the network that are to receive the traffic sent by the particular node. The at least one networking device forwards the traffic sent by the particular node to the nodes in the identified group.

Abstract: A particular fat tree network node stores default routing information indicating that the particular fat tree network node can reach a plurality of parent fat tree network nodes of the particular fat tree network node. The particular fat tree network node obtains, from a first parent fat tree network node of the plurality of parent fat tree network nodes, a negative disaggregation advertisement indicating that the first parent fat tree network node cannot reach a specific destination. The particular fat tree network node determines whether the first parent fat tree network node is the only parent fat tree network node of the plurality of parent fat tree network nodes that cannot reach the specific destination. If so, the particular fat tree network node installs supplemental routing information indicating that every parent fat tree network node except the first parent fat tree network node can reach the specific destination.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device receives data indicative of packet arrival times at a plurality of nodes along a path in a deterministic network. The device compares the packet arrival times to their corresponding scheduled delivery intervals in a deterministic communication schedule used by the nodes along the path. The device detects, using a machine learning-based anomaly detector, a time synchronization anomaly based on the comparisons between the packet arrival times and their scheduled delivery intervals. The device causes performance of a mitigation action in the network based on the detected time synchronization anomaly.
