Abstract:
In one embodiment, detecting a host device on a port of a forwarder switch in a network, detecting a movement of the host device from a first forwarder switch to a second forwarder switch, and multicast broadcasting an updated device information for the host device to a convergence group switches and a proximity group switches, where the convergence group switches includes switches in the network that are not configured as forwarder switches, and the proximity group switches include forwarder switches grouped together based on radio proximity is provided.
Abstract:
Method and system for providing dynamic network data traffic monitoring including monitoring a data network, detecting a change in the data network, initiating a span session based on the detected change in the data network, and dynamically modifying network configuration based on the detected change in the data network is disclosed.
Abstract:
Method and system for providing dynamic configuration of link redundancy in data network based on detection of dynamic changes in the network topology including the steps of detecting data network topology, determining a number of data paths from a node in the data network topology to each of a respective pair of peer nodes coupled to the node by a corresponding interface, determining a data path in the data network topology between the peer nodes, calculating a set of nodes reachable via each interface coupled to the node and the respective peer node in the data network topology, and comparing the set of calculated nodes is provided.
Abstract:
A multi-layer network element for forwarding received packets from an input port to one or more output ports with quality of service. When output queues exceed or meet a threshold value below the queue's capacity packets are ramdomly discarded. When the queue becomes full, the network element determines which flow caused the queue to overflow. The priority of that flow is lowered. In a multicast packet, the packet may have different priorities at each output port. Scheduling of multiple output queues at each output port uses a weight round robin approach that allocates a weight portion of packets to transmit at each time interval. A packet is not interrupted during its transmission, even if the weight portion is met during a packet's transmission. The excess number of bytes transmited as a result of not interrupting the packet are accounted for in the next round.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for securely storing data files in, or retrieving data files from, cloud storage. A data file transmitted to cloud storage from a client in an enterprise computing environment is intercepted by at least one network device. Using security information received from a management server, the data file is converted into an encrypted object configured to remain encrypted while at rest in the cloud storage.
Abstract:
Method and system for providing dynamic configuration of network elements using hierarchical inheritance including monitoring a data network, detecting a change associated with a configuration of the data network, identifying one or more member groups affected by the detected change, and modifying the network configuration for the one or more member groups in the data network, is disclosed.
