Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and may include determining at a parent content node that a plurality of recipient content nodes are to receive a same content; generating, based on a determination that the same content is available at the parent content node, a multi-delivery header comprising a plurality of identifiers, wherein each identifier of the plurality of identifiers indicates each recipient content node that is to receive the same content; appending the multi-delivery header to one or more packets of an Internet Protocol (IP) flow associated with the same content; and transmitting packets for the IP flow to each of the plurality of the recipient content nodes.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for compiling abstract application and associated service models into deployable descriptors under control of a series of policies, maintaining and enforcing dependencies between policies and applications/services, and deploying policies as regularly managed policy applications themselves. In particular, an orchestration system includes one or more policy applications that are executed to apply policies to a deployable application or service in a computing environment. In general, the orchestration system operates to create one or more solution models for execution of an application on one or more computing environments (such as one or more cloud computing environments) based on a received request for deployment.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for (a) model distributed applications for multi-cloud deployments, (b) derive, by way of policy, executable orchestrator descriptors, (c) model underlying (cloud) services (private, public, server-less and virtual-private) as distributed applications themselves, (d) dynamically create such cloud services if these are unavailable for the distributed application, (e) manage those resources equivalent to the way distributed applications are managed; and (f) present how these techniques are stackable. As applications may be built on top of cloud services, which themselves can be built on top of other cloud services (e.g., virtual private clouds on public cloud, etc.) even cloud services themselves may be considered applications in their own right, thus supporting putting cloud services on top of other cloud services.

Abstract: In one embodiment, secure service chaining can be implemented efficiently for content delivery systems. An orchestrator can determine a service chain for processing a request from a client for content. The orchestrator can determine a capability identifying nodes of the service chain. The orchestrator can then transmit, to the client, a redirect message having the capability, wherein the redirect message redirects the request to a first node of the service chain. The nodes of the service chain can verify the capability and carry out the service chain. Service functions can be applied to the traffic flow associated with delivering the content to the user.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a communication system that can be configured for receiving, at a network element, a flow offload decision for a first service node. The flow offload decision can include a portion of a service chain for processing a flow and updating next hop flow based routing information for the flow. A next hop in the flow can insert flow specific route information in its routing tables to bypass a packet forwarder serving the service that offloaded the flow in the reverse direction.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for use in a network environment that includes one or more service zones, each service zone including at least one instance of an in-line application service to be applied to network traffic and one or more routers to direct network traffic to the at least one service, and a route target being assigned to a unique service zone to serve as a community value for route import and export between routers of other service zones, destination networks or source networks via a control protocol. An edge router in each service zone or destination network advertises routes by its destination network prefix tagged with its route target. A service chain is created by importing and exporting of destination network prefixes by way of route targets at edge routers of the service zones or source networks.

Abstract: An example method is provided in one example embodiment and may include receiving traffic associated with at least one of a mobile network and a Gi-Local Area Network (Gi-LAN), wherein the traffic comprises one or more packets; determining a classification of the traffic to a service chain, wherein the service chain comprises one or more service functions associated at least one of one or more mobile network services and one or more Gi-LAN services; routing the traffic through the service chain; and routing the traffic to a network using one of a plurality of egress interfaces, wherein each egress interface of the plurality of egress interfaces is associated with at least one of the one or more mobile network services and the one or more Gi-LAN services.
