    摘要: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for managing networks. According to at least one example, a method is provided for connecting to a network controller across different regions. The method includes identifying a first connection with a network orchestrator during establishment of a second connection with the network orchestrator from a network controller; establishing a sibling session that links the second connection and the first connection at a control plane; inserting a sibling data message that identifies the sibling session into control messages sent; receiving a message from the network orchestrator over the second connection, the message including an address of the network controller associated with the second connection; and transmitting the second address of the network controller over the first connection to the network orchestrator.

    摘要: In general, techniques are described for distributed route and packet flow evaluation within a cloud exchange fabric. In some examples, a routing engine is operative to: establish sessions between a first network and a second network to exchange message data identifying destinations in the second network; and verify routing information comprising routes from endpoints in the first network to the destinations based upon the message data, including, for each route of the routes: evaluating a source or a destination for indicia of illegitimate origination, and in response to detecting an illegitimate endpoint at the at least one of a source or a destination based upon identifying one or more of the indicia of illegitimate origination, dropping a corresponding route from the routing information.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for upgrading vSmart controllers. In one aspect, a method includes an edge router receiving a notification from a vSmart controller that an upgrade to the controller will occur. The notification can be dynamically triggered by a centralized network management system. In some embodiments, the vSmart controller can run as a virtual machine (VM) and maintains a control plane connection with one or more edge routers in an overlay network. In response to the notification, a length of time of an expiry timer in which the edge router attempts to connect to the vSmart controller can be increased, and the edge router can connect to the vSmart controller once the increased length of time has passed.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an electronic device, method, and computer program product for obtaining IPv6 addresses. Various embodiments for obtaining and providing IPv6 addresses are described. In an embodiment, an electronic device includes a processing circuit configured to: send a first message to a network, wherein the first message comprises both a first PDU session establishment request message for a first PDU session and a Router Solicitation (RS); and in response to the sending of the first message, receive a second message from the network, the second message comprising both a first PDU session establishment accept message for the first PDU session and a Router Advertisement (RA), wherein the RA comprises a first IPv6 prefix.
