    Abstract: Techniques are described that detect areas with insufficient radio frequency (RF) coverage in a wireless network. A network management system (NMS) determines one or more service level expectation (SLE) metrics for each client device in a wireless network. The SLE metrics are aggregated to each access point (AP) in the wireless network, and each AP is assigned an AP score based on the aggregated SLE metrics. To identify potential coverage holes, the NMS groups APs having poor AP scores. If a root cause of the poor AP scores cannot be automatically resolved and if the poor AP scores persist for a predetermined period of time, the group of APs is determined to represent a true coverage hole. The NMS may generate a notification regarding recommended corrective actions to the customer and/or IT personnel.

    Abstract: A network device can automatically select an execution plan from a set of possible execution plans that cause a first set of traffic assignments in a network to be changed to a second set of traffic assignments. A traffic assignment indicates assignments of the traffic to one or more tunnels, internal routes and/or peer links to be utilized for routing traffic received at provider edge routers through a network to prefixes. A traffic assignment can have various parameters such as bandwidth, transmission costs etc. Each execution plan has one or more steps, and each step has one or more traffic assignment changes progressing from the first set of traffic assignments to the second set of traffic assignments. The network device can automatically select an execution plan based on an evaluation metric determined for each execution plan. The evaluation metric can be a cost based metric or a quality based metric.

    Abstract: A controller device manages a plurality of network devices. The controller device includes a memory comprising a configuration database including a set of stored network device configurations, wherein each stored network device configuration of the set of stored network device configurations corresponds to a network device of the set of network devices. Additionally, the controller device includes processing circuitry configured to receive an intent file corresponding to an intended configuration for the set of network devices; receive a message from a network device of the set of network devices indicating an out-of-band configuration change at the network device; and determine, based on a stored network device configuration corresponding to the network device and an actual configuration of the network device, whether the intent file is compatible with the out-of-band configuration change.

    Abstract: Techniques are described by which a network management system (NMS) receives, from a plurality of access points (APs) configured to provide a wireless network, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values. The NMS generates, based on the RSSI values, a graph of the plurality of APs, wherein the graph of the plurality of APs includes a plurality of clusters, wherein each cluster comprises a subset of the plurality of APs that are grouped based on strength of connectivity between the subset of the plurality of APs. The NMS generates, based on the graph, an upgrade plan to upgrade the plurality of APs, wherein the upgrade plan comprises a plurality of batches, wherein each batch includes a selection of at least one AP from each of one or more of the plurality of clusters. The NMS sends the upgrade plan to an orchestrator to execute the upgrade plan.

    Abstract: A virtualization system may receive, by a physical hardware device driver of a kernel of a guest OS of the virtualization system and from a process of the guest OS, one or more control messages to control a physical hardware device. The virtualization system may determine, by the physical hardware device driver and based on the second-type physical hardware device address included in the one or more control messages, a first-type physical hardware device address associated with the physical hardware device. The virtualization system may update, by the physical hardware device driver, the one or more control messages to include the first-type physical hardware device address, and may send, by the physical hardware device driver and to an emulated physical hardware device of a hypervisor of a host OS of the virtualization system, the one or more control messages.
