    Abstract: A secondary routing device is configured as a backup routing device for a primary routing device. The primary routing device performs asynchronous socket replication with the secondary routing device. The secondary routing device includes a transmission buffer, in memory, for storing replicated socket data transmitted between the primary routing device and the standby routing device and one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to execute a replication driver to: determine a threshold value; determine that an amount of data equaling or exceeding the threshold value has been read from the transmission buffer; in response to determining that the amount of data equaling or exceeding the threshold value has been read from the transmission buffer, schedule a window update for the transmission buffer at a scheduled time; and send the window update at the scheduled time.

    Abstract: An example network device includes a primary node and a standby node. The primary node engages in a routing session with a peer network device via a connected socket. The standby node includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to execute a backup replication module to receive, from the primary node, data to be written to a backup socket for the connected socket, and, in response to a switchover, to send a representation of the data to the peer network device via the backup socket.

    Abstract: A disclosed method may include (1) detecting, on a primary node within a network, a change made to an object replicated across the primary node and a backup node within the network, (2) modifying a state-update message destined for the backup node to account for the change made to the object on the primary node, (3) inspecting a status flag of the state-update message destined for the backup node, (4) determining, based at least in part on the status flag of the state-update message, that the state-update message is ready for transmission to the backup node, and then in response to determining that the state-update message is ready for transmission, (5) transmitting the state-update message to the backup node to facilitate replicating the change to the object on the backup node. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: In one example, a system comprises a plurality of non-last-hop routers (non-LHRs) of a network, the non-LHRs configured with a multicast distribution tree for a multicast group to transport first multicast packets of a multicast flow toward one or more LHRs, wherein a router of the non-LHR routers is configured to receive unicast packets for an application session associated with the multicast group, encapsulate the unicast packets in a multicast header to generate the first multicast packets for distribution using the multicast distribution tree, and output the first multicast packets; and the one or more LHRs, wherein the one or more LHRs are interested receivers of the multicast group, and wherein the one or more LHRs are configured to receive the first multicast packets of the multicast flow, extract the unicast packets for the application session, and send the unicast packets to one or more clients of the application session.

    Abstract: In an example of this disclosure, a method may include receiving, by a first network device, a plurality of heartbeat response messages from one or more network devices of a plurality of network devices. Each heartbeat response message of the plurality of heartbeat response messages may respectively correspond to one network device of the plurality of network devices. The method may include processing, by the first network device, the plurality of heartbeat response messages in a kernel space of the first network device. The method may include updating, by the first network device in the kernel space, one or more values corresponding to a data structure based on processing the plurality of heartbeat response messages in the kernel space. The method may include processing, by the first network device, the one or more values in a user space of the first network device.

    Abstract: A device may determine a set of network traffic monitoring parameters associated with identifying a packet for capture. The set of network traffic monitoring parameters may identify a particular protocol layer at which to perform packet capture. The device may configure packet capture and protocol layer state determination based on the set of network traffic monitoring parameters. The device may perform packet capture of the packet at a time when the packet is received at a protocol stack associated with the particular protocol layer based on configuring packet capture and protocol layer state determination. The device may determine a protocol layer state at the time when the packet is received at the protocol stack based on configuring packet capture and protocol layer state determination. The device may provide information identifying the packet and/or the protocol layer state.
