    Abstract: A gateway device is configured to operate as a network function in a service function chain and is connected to a plurality of network connected devices. The gateway device receives a service function chain packet that includes a request to obtain data from one or more of the plurality of network connected devices. The gateway device obtains the data from the one or more network connected devices and modifies the service function chain packet to include the data obtained from the one or more network connected devices. The gateway device sends the service function chain packet that has been modified to include that data obtained from the one or more network connected devices along the service function chain.

    Abstract: A controller device sends predictions from a machine learning module to source endpoints. The controller receives flow information and network information from a network elements in a network. The flow information is associated with source routed data flows that traverse the network in source routed network paths. The network information is associated with network characteristics of each of the network elements included in at least one of the source routed network paths. The controller analyzes the flow information and the network information with machine learning to generate a prediction of at least one metric of source routing behavior within the network. The controller sends the prediction of the at least one metric to one or more source endpoints to optimize the source routed network paths used by future source routed data flows originating from the one or more source endpoints.

    Abstract: Methods are provided in which a collaboration server connects at least two participants via respective user devices to a collaboration session. The collaboration server further distributes, to the respective user devices, media stream data and one or more customized graphical items that are distinguishably displayed in the collaboration session. The one or more customized graphical items are displayed in a foreground or a background associated with a collaboration space of first participant of the at least two participants. The collaboration server further detects a selection, by one of the respective user devices, of a graphical item from the one or more customized graphical items displayed in the collaboration space and performs at least one action associated with the graphical item during the collaboration session based on detecting the selection of the graphical item.

    Abstract: Techniques for associating manufacturer usage description (MUD) security profiles for Internet-of-Things (IoT) device(s) with secure access service edge (SASE) solutions, providing for automated and scalable integration of IoT devices with SASE frameworks. A MUD controller may utilize a MUD uniform resource identifier (URI) emitted by an IoT device to fetch an associated MUD file from a MUD file server associated with a manufacturer of the IoT device. The MUD controller may determine that a security recommendation included in the MUD file is to be implemented by a cloud-based security service provided by the SASE service and cause the IoT device to establish a connection with a secure internet gateway associated with the cloud-based security service. Additionally, or alternatively, the MUD file may include SASE extensions indicating manufacturer recommended cloud-based security services. Further, cloud-based security services may be implemented if local services are unavailable.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of providing a segment routing as a service application. The method includes receiving a configuration of an internet protocol environment. The configuration can be a layer 3 configuration of a single cloud environment or even across multiple cloud environments. The configuration defines routing, forwarding, and paths in the environment between different entities such as virtual machines. The method includes receiving a parameter associated with a workload of a tenant. The parameter can be a service level agreement (i.e., a best bandwidth available), a pathway requirement, a parameter associated with specific workload, and so forth. Based on the configuration and the parameter, the method includes generating tenant-defined layer 3 overlay segment routing rules that define how the workload of the tenant will route data in the internet protocol environment using segment routing.
