    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises: first determining, by a controller, a target load for each of at least first and second wireless data networks rooted by respective first and second root network devices; second determining, by the controller, that at least a prescribed minimum number of network devices attached within the first wireless data network need to migrate from the first wireless data network to the second wireless data network based on the respective target loads; and causing, by the controller, the prescribed minimum number of network devices to migrate from the first wireless data network to the second wireless data network, based on the controller sending to the first and second root network devices enrollment priorities to be advertised by the first and second root network devices, respectively.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, by a network device in a deterministic data network comprising deterministic segments, a data packet comprising a packet header having a bit index, each bit in the bit index associated with a corresponding one of the deterministic segments; the network device identifying, from the bit index, a first bit for a corresponding first deterministic segment and a second bit for a corresponding second deterministic segment, wherein the network device is an endpoint for transmitting deterministic traffic into each of the first and second deterministic segments; the network device selectively executing a replication operation of the data packet for transmission of a replicated data packet into each of the first and second deterministic segments, based on the network device detecting the corresponding first and second bits set for replication.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises identifying, by a path computation element, essential parent devices from a nonstoring destination oriented directed acyclic graph (DODAG) topology as dominating set members belonging to a dominating set; receiving, by the path computation element, an advertisement message specifying a first dominating set member having reachability to a second dominating set member, the reachability distinct from the nonstoring DODAG topology; and generating, by the path computation element based on the advertisement message, an optimized path for reaching a destination network device in the nonstoring DODAG topology via a selected sequence of dominating set members, the optimized path providing cut-through optimization across the nonstoring DODAG topology.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises generating a switched link layer topology from a source device to a destination device, the switched link layer topology comprising a first sequence of switching devices, a second sequence of switching devices, and one or more bridging links between the first and second sequences of switching devices; generating first and second chains of resilient link layer segments for respective first and second multi-hop link layer connections based on generating a sequence of link layer loops overlying the switched link layer topology, and setting for each of the first and second multi-hop link layer connections a corresponding set of connection blocks in each link layer loop; and causing replication of a data packet across the first and second multi-hop link layer connections, enabling a failure in the switched link layer topology to be bypassed based on removing at least one of the connection blocks.
