    摘要: A method is provided in one example and includes receiving a request message from a first network element using an out-of-band control link. The request message includes a request to bundle a first port associated with the first network element into a channel group associated with a cluster. The cluster includes a plurality of clustered network elements. The method further includes determining a status of the first port with respect to the channel group, and sending a reply message to the first network element using the out-of-band control link. The reply message indicates the determined status of the first port of the first network element.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for processing data packets using a router and a proxy in order to transparently proxy a connection between a client and a server. One method involves mapping a TCP connection to a connection ID and sending a segment from the TCP connection to a proxy, including the connection ID, a direction value and an identifier of an assigned proxy application, such that the segment appears to be from the connection. The method further involves a proxy creating and reading from an IP socket which corresponds to the segment, the connection ID, direction and assigned proxy application and then spoofing the segment using the connection ID, a second direction value, and an identifier of the assigned proxy application.

    摘要: An example method includes disengaging a target node from a cluster, where the disengaging comprises: selecting an inheritor; migrating flows from the target node to the inheritor; informing a migration manager that the target node is disengaged from the cluster; and broadcasting to peer nodes of the target node that the target node is replaced by the inheritor. In particular implementations of the present disclosure, the cluster can include a first layer of a network topology including a forwarding engine that implements hash-based packet forwarding; a second layer of the network topology comprising the target node and the inheritor, where the target node and the inheritor implement flow-based packet forwarding; and a third layer including service nodes configured for packet processing in a network.

    摘要: A firewall system and method which optimizes the performance of the firewall process by reducing overhead associated with ACL verification and firewall application-level authorization. The firewall system comprises a session manager operating in the firewall services component and a firewall module operating in the switching process component. In one embodiment, the firewall module is configured to provide certain “non-application” level inspection of data packets and update the context of “sessions” associated with the data packets without sending the packets to the firewall services component using session information provided by the session manager.

    摘要: A method and apparatus that provide network access control are disclosed. In one embodiment, a network device is configured to intercept network traffic initiated from a client and directed toward a network resource, and to locally authenticate the client. Authentication is carried out by comparing information identifying the client to authentication information stored in the network device. In one embodiment, an authentication cache in the network device stores the authentication information. If the client identifying information is authenticated successfully against the stored authentication information, the network device is dynamically re-configured to allow network traffic initiated by the client to reach the network resource. If local authentication fails, new stored authentication is created for the client, and the network device attempts to authenticate the client using a remote authentication server. If remote authentication is successful, the local authentication information is updated so that subsequent requests can authenticate locally. As a result, a client may be authenticated locally at a router or similar device, reducing network traffic to the authentication server.
