Abstract: In one embodiment, a first networking device associated with a switched network comprises one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising configuring, on the first networking device, a network-address-translation (NAT) rule indicating that a first multicast group is to be translated to a second multicast group. The acts further include, at least partly in response to the configuring of the NAT rule, storing the NAT rule at the first networking device, generating a message indicating the NAT rule, and sending the message to at least a second networking device associated with the switched network.

Abstract: In one illustrative example, a switch for use in a network fabric which includes a plurality on interconnected switches configured to facilitate communication of IP multicast traffic amongst host devices may be provided. The switch may receive, from a controller, a global set of host policies associated with the plurality of switches of the network fabric. The switch may select, from the global set of host policies, a local subset of host policies applicable to the switch. The switch may grant or deny admission of host devices to receive or send IP multicast traffic flows in the network fabric according to the selected, local subset of host policies.

Abstract: Techniques are described for an adaptive CoPP that can adapt and change based on actual network control traffic rather than static CoPP rates. An aggressive CoPP can protect the CPU (route processor) of a network device, e.g., routers and switches, but may also penalize convergence and performance. An adaptive CoPP may protect CPU as well as boost convergence and performance parameters. In particular, traffic between two sites may be managed by proactively changing the thresholds of lower CoS traffic based on the CoPP utilization of various protocol/BPDU class traffic, thereby improving data plane convergence and application performance in scaled environments.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to process timing information of flows in a network. One or more processors determine a latency associated with each of one or more packets of a flow passing through a device. The one or more processors determine that the latency is greater than a baseline latency, and the one or more processors provide a message indicating at least the flow and that the latency is greater than the baseline latency.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request to establish a path for a data stream from the first network apparatus to a second network apparatus, where the request is associated with a requested bandwidth for the data stream, and where the first network apparatus and the second network apparatus are connected by a link aggregation group including a number of physical Ethernet links, accessing bandwidth information representing a number of remaining bandwidths of the respective multiple of physical Ethernet links, determining that the requested bandwidth is not satisfied by any of the number of remaining bandwidths of the number of physical Ethernet links, and sending a response rejecting the request to establish the path.

Abstract: A network element seamlessly provides a flow of adjustable quality to a receiver endpoint. The network element obtains from the receiver endpoint a request for a media stream. The network element subscribes to multiple flows of the media stream, with each flow corresponding to a different quality level of the media stream. The network element monitors the network performance of each of the flows and selects a first flow based on the network performance of each of the flows. The network element provides the first flow to the receiver endpoint and continues to monitor the network performance of the flows.

Abstract: In service flow capability updating in a guaranteed bandwidth multicast network may be provided. First, a node may determine that a bandwidth requirement of a flow has changed to a new bandwidth value. Then, in response to determining that the bandwidth requirement of the flow has changed to the new bandwidth value, an ingress capacity value may be updated in an interface usage table for a Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) interface corresponding to the flow. The RPF interface may be disposed on a network device. Next, in response to determining that the bandwidth requirement of the flow has changed to the new bandwidth value, an egress capacity value may be updated in the interface usage table for an Outgoing Interface (OIF) corresponding to the flow. The OIF may be disposed on the network device.

Abstract: Techniques for utilizing Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controllers and network border leaf nodes of respective cloud computing networks to configure a data transmission route for a multicast group. Each border leaf node may maintain a respective external sources database, including a number of records indicating associations between a multicast data source, one or more respective border leaf nodes disposed in the same network as the multicast data source, and network capability information. A border leaf node, disposed in the same network as a multicast data source, may broadcast a local source discovery message to all border leaf nodes in remote networks to which it is communicatively coupled. A border leaf node may also communicate network capability information associated with one or more remote networks to a local SDN controller. The SDN controller may utilize the network capability information to configure a data transmission route to one or more destination nodes.
