    Abstract: Bandwidth usage for an existing communication tunnel between a first device and second device is monitored. A determination is made that additional bandwidth is required for communication between the first network device and the second network device. A determination is made that for the addition of the additional bandwidth would exceed available bandwidth for the existing tunnel. Additional bandwidth is established between the first network device and the second network device.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for path tracing. For example, a process can include establishing a path tracing session associated with path tracing (PT) probe packets from a PT source node of an IPv6 network fabric. A PT probe packet can be received with a first IPv6 Destination Options Header with Path Tracing Option (DOH-PT) header that encodes path tracing information of the PT source node and indicates respective path tracing information for each PT midpoint node along a path from the PT source node to a PT sink node of the IPv6 network fabric. The received PT probe packet can be updated to include a second DOH-PT header that encodes path tracing information of the PT sink node. An updated PT probe packet includes the first and second DOH-PT headers and can be encapsulated with an additional IPv6 header corresponding to forwarding information of a collector node.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media to encode network functions in a packet header. A method includes receiving a first packet from a source device that is to be delivered to a destination address through a network; determining a route to the destination address; identifying at least one network function for the first packet; encapsulating the first packet in a second packet, wherein a header of the second packet includes the route to the destination address in a destination address field and local processing metadata associated with the at least one network function in a source address field; and forwarding the second packet to a next network node of the network identified in the destination address.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for detecting and monitoring paths in a network. The techniques include causing a source node to generate probe packets to traverse a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network, for instance. In some examples, the probe packets include entropy values that correspond to individual equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) paths of the network. The probe packets may be received at an SDN controller from a sink node after traversing the network. Analysis of the probe packets allow path discovery and mapping of the entropy values to ECMP paths. The mapping of discovered paths may be used for optimization of network monitoring activities, including second subsequent probe packets over particular ECMP paths based on the mapped entropy values.

    Abstract: Techniques for utilizing entropy labels of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label stack for performing monitoring operations (e.g., telemetry, performance measurement, OAM, etc.) without altering the MPLS label stack and/or packet path (e.g., ECMP path). The techniques may include determining, by a node of a network, to perform a monitoring operation associated with traffic that is to be sent along a path through the network. In some examples, the node may receive a packet that is to be sent along the path and encapsulate the packet with an MPLS header. The MPLS header may include an entropy label, entropy label indicator, or other label that is capable of carrying a flag indicating the monitoring operation to be performed. The flag may be carried in a TTL field or traffic class field of the label such that the MPLS label stack is not altered to trigger the monitoring operation.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus of a LISP environment includes one or more processors and computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors. The computer-readable non-transitory storage media include instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including receiving an attestation token from a first component of the LISP environment. The operations also include encoding the attestation token using a LISP message format. The operations further include distributing the encoded attestation token with a LISP signaling message to a third component of the LISP environment.
