Abstract: Control plane analytics and policing may be provided. First, packets that traverse a port may be parsed. Next, based on the parsed packets, metrics for each of a plurality of hosts on a per-protocol basis may be created. The created metrics may then be analyzed and at least one restriction on at least one of the plurality of hosts may be applied based on the analysis.

Abstract: Methods and systems for tracking transactions in a network fabric, include: receiving a message generated by a node in the network fabric; assigning a uniform fabric identifier (“UFID”) to the node; assigning a uniform transaction identifier (“UTID”) to the message”; appending the UFID and the UTID to the message; and storing the message in a database.

Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring a local switch and a remote switch configured as peers. The method includes: receiving a configuration for configuring the local switch and the remote switch; checking if resources are available for the configuration on the local switch; when resources are available on the local switch, reserving those resources; checking if resources are available for the configuration of the remote switch; when resources are available on the remote switch, reserving those resources; and applying the configuration to the local switch and the remote switch when resources are available on the local switch and the remote switch.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for enabling communication between two network fiber channel (FC) switches, includes: receiving at least one protocol frame at a first network FC switch, the at least one protocol frame being received from a second network FC switch connected to the first network FC switch and comprising information related to a manufacturer of the second network FC switch; retrieving a first identifier of the second network FC switch from the at least one protocol frame, the first identifier comprising primary manufacturer information identifying a manufacturer of the second network FC switch; determining that the retrieved first identifier does not match one of a plurality of peer switch manufacturer identifiers stored in a memory of the first network FC switch, each of the plurality of peer switch manufacturer identifiers identifying peer switches for which one or more features may be enabled for communicating with the first network FC switch; retrieving a second identifier of the second network FC switch from the at least one protocol frame when the retrieved first identifier does not match one of the plurality of peer switch manufacturer identifiers, the second identifier comprising secondary manufacturer information identifying the manufacturer of the second network FC switch; and upon determining that the retrieved second identifier matches one of the plurality of peer switch manufacturer identifiers, updating the plurality of peer switch manufacturer identifiers stored in memory of the first network FC switch to include the retrieved first identifier; and enabling at least one of the one or more features for the first network FC switch to communicate with the second network FC switch.
