    Abstract: A network device may receive a redundant identifier certificate associated with a redundant routing module, and may provide, to a bootstrap device, a primary identifier certificate associated with a primary routing module associated with the network device. The network device may establish a secure connection with the bootstrap device based on the bootstrap device verifying an authenticity of the primary routing module via the primary identifier certificate. The network device may provide, to the bootstrap device via the secure connection, a redundant routing module identifier associated with the redundant routing module and may receive, from the bootstrap device via the secure connection, a signed certificate chain associated with the redundant routing module. The network device may verify the signed certificate chain and may verify the redundant identifier certificate, associated with the redundant routing module, based on verifying the signed certificate chain.

    Abstract: A first network device may create a port group for a plurality of links directly connected to a second network device, and may select the first network device as a controller network device and the second network device as a worker network device. The first network device may rank the plurality of links of the port group to generate a list of ranked links, and may select, from the list of ranked links, a highest ranked link as a control channel. The first network device may power off one or more of the plurality of links, except the control channel, based on one of a configuration, a policy, or a traffic prediction, and may identify a termination of a time period associated with powering off the one or more of the plurality of links. The first network device may power on the one or more of the plurality of links based on the termination of the time period.

    Abstract: A network device may determine a bandwidth utilization and a power consumption by the network device, and may receive a carbon emission value and an electricity cost associated with the network device. The network device may determine weights for the power consumption, the carbon emission value, and the electricity cost, and may calculate one or more of a unit power metric, a per link power metric, a per component power metric, or a per device power metric based on the bandwidth utilization, the power consumption, the carbon emission value, the electricity cost, and the weights. The network device may perform one or more actions based on the one or more of the unit power metric, the per link power metric, the per component power metric, or the per device power metric.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling monitoring operations performed by various devices, e.g., access points, in a communications network and for using information obtained by the devices which perform the monitoring are described. The methods are well suited for use in a system with a variety of access points, e.g., wireless and/or wired access points, which can be used to obtain access to the Internet or another network. An access point, which has been configured to monitor in accordance with received monitoring configuration information, e.g. on a per access point interface basis, captures packets, stores captured packets, and monitors to detect communications failures corresponding to communications devices using said access point. In response to detecting a communications failure, the access point generates, an event failure notification indicating the type of detected failure and sends the event failure notification to the network monitoring node along with corresponding captured packets.

    Abstract: In some examples, a computing system includes memory and one or more programmable processors in communication with the memory. The computing system is configured to visual indicator status information of a network device, wherein the visual indicator status information includes information for one or more virtual visual indicators of the network device to indicate a state of the network device or a state of one or more links associated with the network device. The computing system is further configured to generate, based on the visual indicator status information of the network device, a user interface that includes a representation of the network device and one or more virtual visual indicators indicating the state of the network device or the state of one or more links associated with the network device. The computing system is further configured to output, for display on a display device, the user interface.

    Abstract: Example techniques and devices are described for scheduling workloads. An example computing device is configured to predict an occurrence of a scale event for a first service. The computing device is configured to determine, based on the predicted occurrence of the scale event for the first service, a predicted level of greenness for the first service, the predicted level of greenness being based on a current level of greenness for the first service and a predicted scale up factor. The computing device is configured to determine whether the predicted level of greenness for the first service satisfies a first threshold. The computing device is configured to perform, based on whether the predicted level of greenness for the first service satisfies the first threshold, a first action on a first workload of the first service.

    Abstract: In some implementations, an egress network device of a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network may exchange Internet key exchange (IKE) messages with an ingress network device of the MPLS network to establish a security association between the egress network device and the ingress network device. The egress network device may receive an MPLS packet that includes an MPLS header, a secure MPLS data header, and an MPLS payload. The egress network device may process the MPLS header to determine a label associated with a label-switched path (LSP) and a secure function indicator. The egress network device may decrypt, using a secure function identified based on the secure MPLS data header, the MPLS payload to generate a decrypted packet. The egress network device may transmit the decrypted packet towards a destination device.
