Abstract: Techniques are provided for controlling access entitlement for networking device data. In one example, a geographic location of a networking device is determined. A request to access data associated with the networking device is obtained from a user device. A user parameter of a user associated with the user device is determined. An access policy that controls access to the data based on the geographic location of the networking device and the user parameter is identified. The request to access the data is permitted or denied based on the geographic location of the networking device, the user parameter, and the access policy.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for service chaining in fabric networks such that hardware resources can be preserved without service nodes needing additional capabilities. The techniques may include storing a first configuration associated with a first VRF instance of a service forwarding node that is connected to a first service of a service chain sequence. The first configuration may indicate an identifier and a type associated with a second service of the service chain sequence where traffic is to be sent after the first service. Additionally, the techniques may also include storing a second configuration associated with a second VRF instance of the service forwarding node that is connected to the second service. The second configuration may indicate that the second service is a last service of the service chain sequence. When traffic is received at the service forwarding node, the service forwarding node can determine whether the traffic is pre-service traffic or post-service traffic.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for participating in a meeting through an application provider using application-specific network slices. A method includes transmitting a request to a mobile network operator (MNO) for setup of a data connection with a device for a meeting provided by an application provider; receiving allowed network slices for the data connection that are generated by the MNO for the meeting; identifying a network slice from the allowed network slices for the meeting based on one or more characteristics specific to the meeting; and establishing the data connection with the mobile network operator based on the network slice.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for using a sponsor as a proxy for multi-factor authentication of a first user account for a first user when a primary multi-factor authentication mechanism is unavailable to the first user account, comprising registering the sponsor in a multi-factor authentication chain of trust associated with the first user account; requesting verification of an identity of the first user from the sponsor; receiving, from the sponsor, a verification of the identity of the first user; and granting access to a service to the first user account.

Abstract: In one example, a controller obtains a request to store an object-based storage object and identifies a data sovereignty policy identifier associated with the object-based storage object. The controller queries a data sovereignty policy manager for a data sovereignty policy associated with the data sovereignty policy identifier and obtains, from the data sovereignty policy manager, an indication of the data sovereignty policy. The controller stores the object-based storage object in compliance with the data sovereignty policy.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a particular networking device located in a ring of networking devices of a network receives an indication from a supervisory service that the particular networking device has been designated a ring manager for the ring of networking devices. The particular networking device determines that the supervisory service is unreachable by the ring of networking devices. The particular networking device obtains telemetry data regarding a new device connected to the ring of networking devices. The particular networking device onboards, based on the telemetry data, the new device to the network, when the supervisory service is unreachable by the ring of networking devices.

Abstract: A method for a seamless transfer of a secure multimedia conference session from one endpoint device to another without a need to rekey the session is provided. In this method, a first endpoint device connects a participant to a multimedia conference session to which at least one other participant is connected and based on detecting one or more second endpoint devices within a predetermined location proximity of the first endpoint device, determines whether to transfer the multimedia conference session to a target endpoint device. Based on determining that the session is to be transferred, the first endpoint device establishes a secure pairing connection directly with the target endpoint device and provides, via the secure pairing connection, information about the multimedia conference session based on which the multimedia conference session is transferred to the target endpoint device without rekeying the multimedia conference session.

Abstract: Aspects described herein include a method and related network device and computer program product for use in an environment comprising a plurality of network devices capable of providing broadcast services to one or more client devices. The method comprises receiving, from a client device, a neighbor report that indicates whether one or more network devices of the plurality of network devices are advertising broadcast services. The method further comprises generating, using the neighbor report, a broadcast optimization map that indicates a set of one or more of the plurality of network devices that will provide a broadest coverage of broadcast services within the environment. The set corresponds to a minimum count of network devices that supports all current broadcast streams by the one or more client devices.

Abstract: Load balancing for saturated wireless may be provided. A computing device may determine that an Access Point (AP) has reached a saturation point. A first Service Device (SD) having a first SD coverage area that overlaps an AP coverage area associated with the AP may be identified. Then a license to operate within a frequency spectrum segment for the first SD coverage area may be obtained. A plurality of user devices may be moved from the AP to the first SD. The first SD may then service the plurality of user devices using at least a portion of the frequency spectrum segment.
