    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises generating a switched link layer topology from a source device to a destination device, the switched link layer topology comprising a first sequence of switching devices, a second sequence of switching devices, and one or more bridging links between the first and second sequences of switching devices; generating first and second chains of resilient link layer segments for respective first and second multi-hop link layer connections based on generating a sequence of link layer loops overlying the switched link layer topology, and setting for each of the first and second multi-hop link layer connections a corresponding set of connection blocks in each link layer loop; and causing replication of a data packet across the first and second multi-hop link layer connections, enabling a failure in the switched link layer topology to be bypassed based on removing at least one of the connection blocks.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises a topology processor generating a power grid topology model of a power grid topology controlled via a communications network having a corresponding communications architecture overlying the power grid topology. The topology processor generates a communications architecture model of the communications architecture. In response to receiving a request for executing a change in at least a portion of the power grid topology, the topology processor identifies power grid topology model data associated with the portion of the power grid topology, and identifies communications architecture model data identifying a corresponding portion of the communications architecture associated with the portion of the power grid topology. The topology processor selectively executes the request based on sending, to a network controller, a query to determine whether the communications architecture can implement the change, the query identifying the power grid topology model data and the corresponding communications architecture model data.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises: classifying, by a controller device, a first access point device in a WLAN as a leader access point for a wireless client device, and at least a second access point device as a follower access point; and allocating, to the leader access point, a shortened medium access control layer timer (“timer”) that is shorter than a prescribed timer used by the follower access point, the shortened timer causing the leader access point to respond to reception of a wireless data packet from the wireless client device by transmitting an acknowledgment to the wireless client device upon expiration of the shortened timer; the prescribed timer causing the follower access point to defer to the leader access point based on the follower access point waiting for at least expiration of the prescribed timer before selectively transmitting a corresponding acknowledgment in response to receiving the wireless data packet.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, by a transport layer executed by a processor circuit in an apparatus, an identifiable grouping of data; storing, by the transport layer, the data as transport layer packets in a buffer circuit in the apparatus, the storing including inserting into each transport layer packet a grouping identifier that identifies the transport layer packets as belonging to the identifiable grouping; and causing, by the transport layer, a plurality of transmitting deterministic network interface circuits to deterministically retrieve the transport layer packets from the buffer circuit for deterministic transmission across respective deterministic links, the grouping identifier enabling receiving deterministic network interface circuits to group the received transport layer packets, regardless of deterministic link, into a single processing group for a next receiving transport layer.
