    Abstract: A source host device masks the hardware address of a hosted container from a network device to mitigate the use of resources in the network device. A virtual switch on the source host receives a frame from a hosted container. The frame includes a source hardware address of the hardware address corresponding to the hosted container. The frame also includes a source network address of the network address corresponding to the hosted container. The virtual switch replaces the source hardware address of the frame with the hardware address associated with the source host, and send the frame to the network device. The frame sent to the network device includes the host hardware address as the source hardware address and the container network address as the source network address.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains temperature and utilization measurements for a set of network interface transceivers in a network. The device computes, for each of the transceivers, a correlation coefficient between its temperature and utilization measurements. The device applies a k-nearest neighbor classifier to the correlation coefficients, to predict a correlation coefficient. The device uses the predicted correlation coefficient to determine an impact of temperature on utilization of a particular network interface transceiver. The device initiates a mitigation action, when the determined impact of temperature on the utilization of the particular network interface transceiver exceeds a predefined threshold.

    Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for providing a persistent external Internet Protocol (IP) address for extra-cluster services. One example involves initiating, in a cluster, a first pod with a label that identifies a service. The first pod is configured to provide the service to one or more network entities outside the cluster. The first pod is assigned an IP address configured for communicating outside the cluster. A mapping of the service to the IP address is stored. In response to a determination that the service has been disrupted, a second pod is initiated in the cluster with the label that identifies the service. The second pod is configured to provide the service to the one or more network entities outside the cluster. Based on the mapping and the label that identifies the service, the IP address is assigned to the second pod.
