    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for delegating responsibility for performing a connectivity protocol from one or more endpoint devices to network infrastructure situated along a network forwarding path connecting the endpoint devices. In some examples, an intermediate network device includes a connectivity protocol module of control unit that operates a connectivity protocol session on behalf of a server, wherein the server exchanges application data with the client using an application-layer communication session with the client. The connectivity protocol module monitors connectivity for the application-layer communication session with the connectivity protocol session by exchanging connectivity protocol messages for the connectivity protocol session with the client to determine a connectivity status for the communication session. The connectivity protocol module updates the server with the connectivity status for the communication session by sending a summary report message that includes the connectivity status for the communication session to the server.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing closed-loop control and predictive analytics in packet-optical networks are described. For example, an integrated, centralized controller provides tightly-integrated, closed-loop control over switching and routing services and the underling optical transport system of a communication network. In one implementation, the controller includes an analytics engine that applies predictable analytics to real-time status information received from a monitoring subsystem distributed throughout the underlying optical transport system. Responsive to the status information, the analytics engine applies rules to adaptively and proactively identify current or predicted topology-changing events and, responsive to those events, maps reroutes packet flows through a routing/switching network and control and, based on any updated bandwidth requirements due to topology changes, dynamically adjusts allocation and utilization of the optical spectrum and wavelengths within the underlying optical transport system.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing closed-loop control and predictive analytics in packet-optical networks are described. For example, an integrated centralized controller is described that provides tightly-integrated, closed-loop control over components of a routing/switching network (e.g., IP/MPLS) and also the underling optical transport system, including routing wavelength and spectrum assignment. The controller adaptively and proactively maps packet flows into network resources of a routing/switching network and control, based on the mapping, allocation and utilization of optical spectrum and wavelengths within the optical transport system underlying the routing and switching network.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for wavelength and spectrum assignment within a packet-optical transport system. A controller, for example, dynamically controls wavelength and spectrum assignment to suppress or generally avoid optical effects that can degrade communication performance. For example, the controller provides closed-loop control over dynamic partitioning of the spectral range of an optical transport system into channel groups and assignment of the groups to respective packet-optical transport devices based on current or future bandwidth requirements at each device. Moreover, for each packet-optical transport device, the controller controls assignment of individual wavelengths within each channel group so as to balance channel utilization around a center of the spectral range associated with each channel group and to maintain spectral separation of the channels within the channel group.

    ERROR HANDLING FOR MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL SECURITY

    Abstract: Embodiments improve error detection and recovery in media access control security sessions. A MACsec session is torn down after three liveness time intervals elapse without receiving a MACsec key exchange protocol data unit (MKPDU) from a remote peer. This delay between a cessation of effective network communication over the MACsec session and the expiration of the three “liveness” intervals results in increased packet loss and an increased network convergence time as a network continues to route/forward data over the MACsec session for a period of time after the MACsec session has entered secure block mode. To solve this problem, embodiments define a new alarm, called a MACsec link alert, which is raised earlier than a MACsec session timeout generated by traditional embodiments. The MACsec link alert is raised, by at least some embodiments, after a failure to successfully receive an MKPDU from the remote peer after a single MACsec “liveness” timeout interval elapses.
