    Abstract: A network access server (NAS) device on a wireless network at a site is described, the NAS device comprising memory including a policy cache having entries for one or more client devices where each entry includes a last policy action previously identified by a network access control (NAC) system for the respective client device. The NAS device further comprising processing circuitry configured to, upon receipt of an access request for the wireless network from a client device, authenticate the client device. The processing circuitry is configured to, after authentication of the client device, determine whether the client device is included in the policy cache. The processing circuitry is configured to, based on the client device being included in the policy cache, authorize the client device to access the wireless network in accordance with the last policy action for the client device.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a network device may receive one or more indications of one or more internet protocol (IP) addresses. The network device may determine that the one or more IP addresses are associated with an IP over Ethernet (IPoE) subscriber. The network device may generate, based at least in part on determining that the one or more IP addresses are associated with the IPoE subscriber, a mapping of the one or more IP addresses to an identifier of the IPoE subscriber. The network device may receive a network packet associated with at least one IP address of the one or more IP addresses. The network device may perform, based at least in part on the mapping of the one or more IP addresses to the identifier of the IPoE subscriber, a network service associated with the network packet on a per-IPoE-subscriber basis.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for session-based load-balancing of network traffic to network service instances. In one example, a network device receives a first packet of a forward packet flow from a network service instance of a plurality of network service instances after application of a network service. The first packet specifies a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the network service instance as a source MAC address. The network device defines a session comprising the forward packet flow and a reverse packet flow and stores an association between the session and the MAC address of the network service instance. The network device determines that a second packet received from a destination device is associated with the reverse packet flow of the session. The network device forwards the second packet to the same network service instance based on the association between the session and the MAC address of the network service instance.

    Abstract: A broadband network gateway (BNG) controller is described that includes a network subscriber database (NSDB) and one or more core applications. The NSDB is configured to store vBNG instance information for one or more subscriber devices. The vBNG instance information specifies vBNG instances operable by one or more edge routers. The vBNG instances are configured to receive requests to access service provider services from the one or more subscriber devices and to selectively authenticate the one or more subscriber devices for network services based on authentication information included in the requests to access services provider services. The one or more core applications include a network instance and configuration manager (NICM). The NICM is configured to modify the vBNG instance information at the NSDB to include an additional vBNG instance and to output, to an edge router, an instruction to generate the additional vBNG instance at the edge router.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include assessing trust in a system based on subjective factors. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes determining, by the computing system, a prerequisite score for a network entity in a computer network; determining, by the computing system, a subjective score for the network entity based on one or more subjective factors for the network entity, wherein each of the one or more subjective factors for the network entity corresponds to a subjective characteristic of the network entity; determining, by a computing system, a trust score for the network entity based on the prerequisite score and the subjective score; and modifying, by the computing system, operation of the computer network based on the trust score for the network entity

    Abstract: In an example, a validation system comprises processing circuitry having access to a storage device and is configured to obtain flow records indicative of packet flows among workloads deployed to a cluster of one or more computing devices configured with a network policy, wherein each flow record of the flow records indicates a corresponding packet flow was allowed or denied by the cluster; receive an updated network policy; determine whether a corresponding packet flow for a flow record of the flow records has a discrepancy with the updated network policy; and in response to determining the corresponding packet flow for the flow record of the flow records has a discrepancy with the updated network policy, output an indication of an error.

    Abstract: A cloud-based network management system (NMS) stores path data from network devices operating as network gateways for an enterprise network, the path data collected by each network device of the plurality of network devices. The NMS determines, for a logical path within a specified time window, a wireless signal quality and a link quality based at least in part on the path data. The NMS, in response to determining that the logical path is of a poor link quality, determine a correlation between a poor wireless quality and the poor link quality. The NMS may output a notification that indicates the correlation between the poor wireless quality and the poor link quality of the logical path.
