    Abstract: In some examples, a first router establishes a fault detection session between the first router connected to a routing area and an outside router assigned a forwarding address, the outside router located outside the routing area, and the forwarding address used by a second router of the routing area to send a data packet to the outside router. The first router detects, in the fault detection session, a fault associated with the outside router, and in response to detecting the fault associated with the outside router in the fault detection session, provides an indication to the routing area that the forwarding address is no longer accessible.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a system comprising a request transmitter to transmit a plurality of transaction requests from a first daemon to a central database, wherein the first daemon belongs to a plurality of daemons using the central database to communicate with each other to perform networking related functions. The system may include a baseline determiner to determine a baseline response time for receiving a response to the plurality of transaction requests, a transaction request transmitter to transmit a transaction request, belonging to the plurality of daemons, to the central database and a transaction requester determiner to determine that the central database is processing more requests that it can handle. The system may include a delay time generator to generate a delay time for a subsequent transaction request to the central database and a subsequent request transmitter to transmit the subsequent transaction request to central database.

    Abstract: A system related to black hole filtering is provided. The system can allow a dynamic routing protocol on a network device to determine whether a route learned by the dynamic routing protocol is a black hole route. The route may be learned through another source. In response to a determination that the route is the black hole route, the dynamic routing protocol may generate a routing update that indicates the route as the black hole route. The dynamic routing protocol may then advertise the routing update to each neighbor network device.

    Abstract: A method for use in a network, including: receiving network traffic at a redundant gateway device established according to a redundant gateway protocol; forwarding known unicast traffic received at the redundant gateway device from the redundant gateway device to a tunnel endpoint through a tunnel established according to a tunneling protocol; forwarding broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast traffic to the tunnel endpoint through the tunnel if the redundant gateway device is a master gateway under the redundant gateway protocol; and dropping the broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast traffic if the redundant gateway device is a backup gateway under the redundant gateway protocol.

    Abstract: According to one aspect of the disclosure, a computing system including at least one networking device with at least one processor and memory. The at least one processor executes instructions stored in the memory to collect data from one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices via a first communication protocol and provide access to the collected data by one or more user devices via a second and different communication protocol. Further, the one or more IoT devices are communicatively coupled to the at least one networking device to sense the data and transmit the data to the at least one networking device, and the one or more user devices are communicatively coupled to the at least one networking device.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising receiving, at a first switch, a bidirectional forwarding detection packet, wherein the first switch and a second switch are part of a virtualized switch and each switch in the virtualized switch has a same Media Access Control (MAC) address, determining, at the first switch, that a destination MAC address included in the bidirectional forwarding detection packet is not owned by the first switch, determining, at the first switch, that the destination MAC address is owned by the second switch and bridging, from the first switch, the bidirectional forwarding detection packet to the second switch that owns the MAC address.

    Abstract: A system for facilitating efficient multicast programming in a switch is provided. During operation, the system can parse a multicast data structure that can map an ingress interface, a source, and a multicast group to a set of egress interfaces. Based on the data structure, the system can generate a cache that can map an egress interface to an ingress interface indicated in the data structure. Upon receiving a join request via a first interface, the system can look up the first interface in the cache. If the first interface matches a cache entry, the system can identify an ingress interface from the cache entry. The system can then program, in the data structure, a route entry with the first interface as an egress interface and the ingress interface. Subsequently, if a multicast data packet matches the route entry, the system can forward the packet via the first interface.
