    Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically computing a segment routing policy for a segment routing for traffic engineering (SR-TE) path. For example, in a discontinuous SR network in which SR islands (e.g., groups of neighboring routers that are enabled for segment routing) are separated by one or more routers not enabled for segment routing, instead of returning a failure because one or more routers along a path are not enabled for SR, an ingress router may generate an SR-TE operations, administrations, and management (OAM) Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) traceroute packet send the packet to a first border router of the RSVP-enabled devices along a computed path to trigger the creation of a resource reservation Label Switched Path (LSP) through the RSVP-enabled devices. In this way, segment routed LSP may be established to tunnel through the resource reservation LSP for a SR-TE path used in an SR-TE policy.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include assessing trust in a system, and in particular, assessing trust by performing a sentiment analysis for an entity or device within a system. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes performing, by a computing system and based on information collected about a network entity in a computer network, a sentiment analysis associated with the network entity; determining, by the computing system and based on the sentiment analysis, a trust score for the network entity; and modifying, by the computing system and based on the trust score for the network entity, network operations within the computer network.

    Abstract: A system determines identification information associated with an endpoint device, which is associated with a tenant of the system, and the tenant. The system generates and sends, to the endpoint device, a certificate that includes the identification information. The system receives, from the endpoint device and as part of an attempt by the endpoint device to initiate a dial-out communication session with the system, the certificate. The system causes, based on the certificate, the dial-out communication session to be established and processes the certificate to determine the identification information. The system receives, from the endpoint device and via the dial-out communication session, one or more messages; modifies the one or more messages to include the identification information; and provides the one or more modified messages to facilitate provisioning of services or resources associated with the system to the endpoint device.

    Abstract: Methods of deriving location information of a wireless device include deriving, in the continuous domain, a location of a wireless device and at least one time and location varying path loss function parameter. The coordinates and parameter are derived based on signal strength measurements made at the wireless device, with the measured signals originating from a plurality of wireless transmitters, such as access points. The derived path loss function parameter can include one or more of a path loss exponent parameter, an intercept parameter, a receiver antenna gain parameter, transmitter antenna gain parameter, or a transmit power parameter.

    Abstract: A system identifies an intent policy model associated with an initial time. The system updates a data structure to cause the data structure to include one or more portions. Each portion of the data structure is associated with a start time and an end time. Each portion includes: a first delta snapshot that indicates one or more first changes to the intent policy model from the initial time to the start time associated with the portion, and one or more additional delta snapshots that respectively indicate one or more incremental changes to the intent policy model at times from the start time and to the end time associated with the portion of the data structure.

    Abstract: A device may generate a first polynomial and a second polynomial, and may generate, based on the first polynomial, a primary path from a first network device to a second network device via a first set of intermediate network devices. The device may generate, based on the second polynomial, a secondary path from the first network device to the second network device via a second set of intermediate network devices, and may assign a point of the first and second polynomials to the device, to each of the first set of intermediate network devices and of the second set of intermediate network devices. The device may cause the primary path to be provided from the first network device to the second network device, and may cause the secondary path to be provided from the first network device to the second network device.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for a router providing metric-based multi-hop path selection. For example, a first router of a plurality of routers receives a plurality of network performance metrics for a plurality of links interconnecting the plurality of routers. The plurality of links form a plurality of multi-hop paths through the plurality of routers to a service instance. The router determines, based on the plurality of network performance metrics for the plurality of links, an end-to-end performance of each of the plurality of multi-hop paths. The router selects a multi-hop path over which to forward traffic associated with the session based on the end-to-end performance of each of the plurality of multi-hop paths and one or more performance requirements for a service associated between a session between a client device and the service instance. The router forwards the traffic to the service instance along the selected multi-hop path.
