摘要： In general, techniques are described for a hierarchical, distributed DHCP system for managing IP address assignment among distributed networks of computing devices. For example, a system may include a central DHCP server configured to manage a plurality of distributed DHCP servers, each distributed DHCP server configured to perform DHCP using IP addresses allocated from a common prefix for a tenant associated with computing devices managed by multiple DHCP servers. The central DHCP server allocates IP addresses to the distributed DHCP servers, e.g., on an on-demand basis from the common pool and may handle concurrent requests for IP addresses from distributed DHCP servers. Each of the distributed DHCP servers may store records for IP addresses and media access control (MAC) addresses for computing devices managed by that distributed DHCP server, and the DHCP servers may send these records to the central DHCP server to facilitate IP assignment coherency.

摘要： Systems and methods include techniques for recording information for tracing a timestamp to its source. The techniques can facilitate auditing of a time service by external auditors. The timestamps can be collected from all the sources and intermediate touch points like timing and network switches and can be stored in a distributed time ledger. In one example, a method includes receiving, at a collection time by a time collector, a timestamp from each of a plurality of timing devices at a collection time; aggregating the timestamp of each of the plurality of timing devices into a timestamp record, the timestamp record including the collection time and a timestamp entry for each of the timing devices, wherein the timestamp entry for a timing device includes a timing device identifier and the timestamp corresponding to the timing device providing the timestamp; and inserting the timestamp record into an immutable time ledger.

摘要： Techniques are described for providing a hybrid compensation of chromatic dispersion in optical networks to reduce power consumption by coherent receivers. In some examples, a controller may receive a chromatic dispersion value of an optical signal from a coherent receiver integrated with a receiver optical network device. The controller may compare the chromatic dispersion value with a threshold. The controller may, in response to determining that the chromatic dispersion value satisfies the threshold, perform at least one of: configure a switch connected to a dispersion compensation module (DCM) with a state to provide access to the DCM to compensate the chromatic dispersion value of the optical signal, or adjust a phase response of a filter of a coherent transmitter to compensate the chromatic dispersion value of the optical signal.

摘要： In general, this disclosure describes a multi-zone secure AI exchange. The multi-zone secure AI exchange may be implemented in a multi-cloud, multi-data center environment, where each zone may be in a different cloud or data center. The multi-zone secure AI exchange may include a data repository, a data exchange, and shared services. The data repository may be configured to store algorithms and datasets, each having a respective owning user. The data exchange may receive datasets and algorithms from the data repository, and may perform the algorithms to produce output data. Each of the data repository, data exchange, and shared services may have a different level of security. The data repository may implement the highest level of security, allowing the owner user, and only the owning user, to control how their data and algorithms move in and out of the data repository, or are changed while in the data repository.

摘要： In general, this disclosure describes a cloud exchange (or “cloud exchange”) that offers a cloud-to-cloud interface (CCI) for interconnecting cloud services to tenants within public clouds. As described herein, the cloud exchange may be configured with a cloud-to-cloud interface that enables tenant applications of a public cloud to subscribe to and communicate with cloud services, using an end-to-end layer 3 path, in some cases without requiring a separate routing protocol session with a public edge device for the public cloud. In some examples, the public cloud provides a virtual layer 2 connection from a tenant within a public cloud to a routing instance of the cloud exchange, and the cloud exchange uses the routing instance to route service traffic between the tenant and the cloud services.
