    Abstract: Examples described herein provide for associating a network device to a network management system (NMS). Examples herein include determining, by a network orchestrator, a set of embeddings indicative of characteristics of the network device and each of a plurality of instances of the NMS. Examples herein include determining, by the network orchestrator for each of the plurality of instances, a probability score based on the set of embeddings, wherein the probability score is indicative of a likelihood of the network device to be associated with the instance. Examples herein further include, based on the probability score for each of the plurality of instances, selecting, by the network orchestrator, a first instance of the plurality of instances to associate with the network device. Examples herein include associating, by the network orchestrator, the network device to the first instance.

    Abstract: Dynamic path steering utilizing automatic generation of user threshold profiles is described. An example of a storage medium includes instructions for obtaining a threshold policy for a first application, the threshold policy including a set of threshold values for operational parameters; generating a migration score for a first user, the migration score based at least in part on a user score for the first user; generating a set of secondary threshold values for the first user based at least in part on the migration score and the set of threshold values; enabling operation of the first application for the first user using a first network uplink; monitoring network parameter values in operation of the first application; and upon detecting an operational parameter value exceeding a secondary threshold value, migrating operation of the first application for the first user from the first network uplink to a second network uplink.

    Abstract: Some examples relate to managing multicast group traffic. In an example, a switch anchor controller receives a request for a multicast group from an associated network switch in a multicast-capable network. The associated network switch registers to the switch anchor controller in the multicast-capable network. In response to the request, the switch anchor controller selects a non-anchor controller in the multicast-capable network to serve the multicast group to the associated network switch. The switch anchor controller provides the information related to the non-anchor controller to the associated network switch, which in response creates a specific multicast tunnel between the associated network switch and the non-anchor controller to transfer multicast traffic related to the multicast group.

    Abstract: An example non-transitory, computer-readable medium includes instructions that cause a device to determine, for uplinks of a branch gateway, a link health baseline. The instructions further cause the device to determine, for a set of criticality classes, a class link health baseline for each link health baseline, based on the link health baseline and a tolerance level of each criticality class. The instructions further cause the device to calculate, based in part on weighted parameters of the class link health baselines and an uplink cost, a path quality threshold score for each application category and for each uplink. The instructions further cause the device to select, for each application category, a primary uplink and a secondary uplink based on the path quality threshold scores. The instructions further cause the device to route network traffic through the primary uplink of the application category assigned to the network traffic.

    Abstract: In an example implementation consistent with the features disclosed herein, network management system deployments with a large operational footprint are given a longer grace period before they are forced to upgrade than network management system deployments with a small operational footprint. Criticality scores for the network management system deployments are calculated based on the operational footprints of the network management system deployments. The network management system deployments are grouped into criticality groups based on the criticality scores for the network management system deployments. The network management system deployments are forced to upgrade within timelines that are based on the criticality groups in which the network management system deployments are grouped.

    Abstract: In an example, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) lease request from a client device connected to a network is received. Based on the DHCP lease request, an Internet Protocol (IP) address is assigned to the client device for a lease time. A first lease renewal request is received. A probability of utilization for a lease time block is predicted based on a historical lease pattern, device characteristics, traffic information, and DHCP information. Based on a combination of the probability of utilization and a reward value, the lease time block is allotted for lease renewal. For each allotment, the reward value is adjusted based on deployment characteristics and traffic load in the network, and a network connection duration of the client device. A normalized reward value for the lease time block is determined based on reward values for the lease time block over multiple allotments.
