    Abstract: In the present disclosure, systems and techniques for network device hardware containerization is described. In one example, a network device of a network having a topology of network devices includes processing circuitry of a routing component wherein the processing circuitry generates user space containers to operate forwarding engines in each of a plurality of forwarding components of the network device; stores information for directing communications involving the plurality of forwarding components and the network devices; and configures, by at least one user space container running on the processing circuitry of the routing component, one or more corresponding forwarding engines in a respective forwarding component using the information.

    Abstract: A device may determine first configuration information associated with configuring a chassis. The device may configure the chassis in a first mode using the first configuration information to cause the chassis to perform routing for a network. The device may determine, after a first period of routing for the network, second configuration information associated with configuring the chassis. The second configuration information may relate to utilizing one or more computing resources of a server device external to the chassis to perform routing for the chassis. The device may configure the chassis in a second mode using the second configuration information to cause the chassis to perform, in a second period, routing for the network.

    Abstract: In general, techniques provide a mapping of host devices to different virtual router identifiers used to identify the source MAC address used for forwarding packets to the participating host devices. For example, a method may include receiving an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request for a first Internet protocol (IP) address from a host device, the first IP address comprising a virtual IP address of the virtual router. The method may also include determining a virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) virtual router identifier (VRID) associated with the first IP address. The method may further include generating a mapping between the host device and the determined VRID. The method may also include determining a virtual source MAC address of the virtual router based on the mapping and forwarding a second packet to the host device that specifies a virtual source MAC address for the second packet.

    Abstract: In some examples, a computing device includes one or more processors and a physical interface device (IFD) connected to one or more of the processors. One or more of the processors are configured to detect a change in physical link status for a physical link in a network interface card, receive a list of active virtual machines associated with the physical link, and transmit a virtual IFD status notification message to the active virtual machines of virtual IFDs impacted by the physical link status change, the virtual IFD status notification message identifying the physical link status change.

    Abstract: In some examples, a computing system includes memory and one or more programmable processors in communication with the memory. The computing system is configured to visual indicator status information of a network device, wherein the visual indicator status information includes information for one or more virtual visual indicators of the network device to indicate a state of the network device or a state of one or more links associated with the network device. The computing system is further configured to generate, based on the visual indicator status information of the network device, a user interface that includes a representation of the network device and one or more virtual visual indicators indicating the state of the network device or the state of one or more links associated with the network device. The computing system is further configured to output, for display on a display device, the user interface.

    Abstract: A device may receive a lock request associated with using an embedded device of a containerized environment from a first instance of an application being executed in a first container of the containerized environment. The device may perform a lock operation associated with the embedded device to permit the first instance of the application to use the embedded device and to prevent a second instance of the application, executing in a second container of the containerized environment, from using the embedded device. The device may monitor use of the embedded device during an access operation of the first instance of the application to detect an unlock event associated with unlocking the embedded device. The device may perform an unlock operation based on detecting the unlock event to permit the second instance of the application to use the embedded device.
