Abstract: A method for network communication, the method including distributing a distributed ledger across a network having a plurality of nodes and maintaining the distributed ledger on each of the plurality of nodes of the network. The method further including initiating a modification to the network, verifying the modification to the network by checking the distributed ledger maintained by each of the plurality of nodes of the network, and permitting the modification to the network when the modification to the network is authorized by the distributed ledger maintained on each of the plurality of nodes in the network.

Abstract: Examples include systems and methods for managing a network for example, an enterprise network using a distributed ledger. Some examples include maintaining a distributed ledger by a plurality of NMS units in the network. Use of such distributed ledger may allow communication among NMS units of the plurality of NMS units deployed in the network through the distributed ledger.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing supplemental information or data to location-based data provided by conventional asset tags. In particular, sensors such as environmentally-aware sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and the like may be incorporated into asset tag devices. In turn, these enhanced asset tags may be integrated into network devices, such as access points, network switches, etc. Accordingly, network devices can be leveraged to provide location-based information, in addition to other information, such as environmental operating conditions relative to the location of such network devices. Moreover, secure communication links can be created between the enhanced asset tags, network devices, and controlling entities in the network, such as network management servers through a mutual authentication mechanism.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed in which access devices such as routers and switches form a blockchain network. Each router and switch stores and maintains a local copy of a network topology ledger for which a consensus agreement has been obtained among the routers and switches. The consensus agreement may be based on a validation of one or more fingerprints for one or more blocks of information in the ledger. The fingerprint for each block may be based on information in a preceding block. The network topology ledger includes device identification, routing, and/or other information for device authentication and packet routing by the routers and switches.
