Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for auto-provisioning hubs and spokes in a SD-WAN network, and includes the performance of operations and/or the steps of receiving first information from a first network hub, the first network hub one of a plurality of network hubs, the first information indicating a first set of properties associated with the first network hub; publishing the first information to a plurality of network spokes, the plurality of network spokes determining whether to subscribe to the first network hub based on the first information; receiving subscription information from a first network spoke of the plurality of network spokes, the subscription information indicating the first network spoke subscribing to the first network hub; and creating at least one dynamic control policy to establish a forwarding path for the first network spoke through the first network hub.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for re-balancing and healing of an SD-WAN in an unbalanced state and/or experiencing one or more failure states. In response to a request to connect to a new controller resulting from OMP load shedding from a first controller, the system can identify other controllers capable of handling the load requirements of the edge router. The system can incorporate the controller group preference of the edge router and select a second controller based on the identified other controllers and within the preferred controller group. If not possible, the system can temporarily assign the edge router to non-preferred controller groups and move them back to controllers in the preferred controller group once it becomes viable. The system further enhances OMP graceful restart (GR) logic to incorporate the load shedding effect and avoid unnecessary route retention that GR entails.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for upgrading vSmart controllers. In one aspect, a method includes an edge router receiving a notification from a vSmart controller that an upgrade to the controller will occur. The notification can be dynamically triggered by a centralized network management system. In some embodiments, the vSmart controller can run as a virtual machine (VM) and maintains a control plane connection with one or more edge routers in an overlay network. In response to the notification, a length of time of an expiry timer in which the edge router attempts to connect to the vSmart controller can be increased, and the edge router can connect to the vSmart controller once the increased length of time has passed.

Abstract: Techniques for virtualizing tenant transport interfaces configured to implement pertenant network routing attribute differentiation in each tenant overlay of a multisite wide area network (WAN) and share the virtual transport interfaces between multi-tenant edge (MTE) devices providing transport services to tenant devices based on a defined tenant tier model. A Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller may receive a physical transport interface and/or a device type associated with a tenant device. The SDN controller may determine a virtual transport interface for the tenant device based on a tier associated with the tenant. MTE device(s) may utilize the physical transport interface to establish sessions with other MTE device(s) in the WAN. The virtual transport interface may be utilized by MTE devices to implement and/or enforce network routing attributes when forwarding network traffic associated with the tenant via the sessions established between the MTE devices through the WAN.

Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a router comprises one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprise instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause one or more components of the router to perform operations comprising determining an occurrence of one or more network events associated with a multicast service, generating route exchange information associated with the multicast service locally by the router based on the one or more network events, and using the route exchange information locally to configure the router.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes onboarding, by an edge router, a first tenant from a network management system and determining, by the edge router, a mapping of a tenant identifier associated with the first tenant to a controller identifier associated with a controller. The method also includes reserving, by the edge router, a port number in a kernel for the first tenant and inserting, by the edge router, the tenant identifier into a first control packet. The method further includes communicating, by the edge router, the first control packet to the controller via an encrypted control connection during a first peering session. The first peering session shares the encrypted control connection with a second peering session.
