Abstract: A monitoring device for troubleshooting events in a datacenter network identifies a first network event for a time period, and provides an initial display page, one or more additional display pages, selectable display objects, and a representation of the first network event. The device generates a dynamic troubleshooting path for the first network event to track a user navigation between display pages, a manipulation of the one or more selectable display objects, and a last-current display page, and also provides an indication of a second network event associated with higher resolution priority relative to the first network event. Retrieving the dynamic troubleshooting path causes the interface to present the last-current display page, apply the manipulation of the one or more selectable display objects, and load the user navigation between the initial dashboard display page and the one or more additional display pages in a cache.

Abstract: Techniques for utilizing entropy labels of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label stack for performing monitoring operations (e.g., telemetry, performance measurement, OAM, etc.) without altering the MPLS label stack and/or packet path (e.g., ECMP path). The techniques may include determining, by a node of a network, to perform a monitoring operation associated with traffic that is to be sent along a path through the network. In some examples, the node may receive a packet that is to be sent along the path and encapsulate the packet with an MPLS header. The MPLS header may include an entropy label, entropy label indicator, or other label that is capable of carrying a flag indicating the monitoring operation to be performed. The flag may be carried in a TTL field or traffic class field of the label such that the MPLS label stack is not altered to trigger the monitoring operation.

Abstract: Techniques and systems to provide a more intuitive user overview of events data by mapping unbounded incident scores to a fixed range and aggregating incident scores by different schemes. The system may detect possible malicious incidents associated with events processing on a host device. The events data may be gathered from events detected on the host device. The incident scores for incidents may be determined from the events data. The incident scores may be mapped to bins of a fixed range to highlight the significance of the incident scores. For instance, a first score mapped to a first bin may be insignificant while a second score mapped to a last bin may require urgent review. The incident scores may also be aggregated at different levels (e.g., host device, organization, industry, global, etc.) and at different time intervals to provide insights to the data.

The first continuity check message carries first indication information. The first indication information indicates that a link corresponding to a receiving unit of a port that sends the first indication information is in a fault status.

Abstract: Live performances are coordinated at venues using a host (server) and client (user devices). Scripts for live performances are stored at the host. Each script has roles for playing by users (actors) and has teleprompter text for delivery at a sequence in the live performances. Media elements are associated at the host in the sequence of the teleprompter text for output in the live performances. Once a lobby is created for a live performance at a venue, clients are associated at the host with the roles for the script. The host delivers the teleprompter text for output in real time at the sequence during the live performance with the clients at the venue, and the host delivers the associated media elements for output in the sequence during the live performance at the venue. Each venue can have an associated configuration for media output so the host can deliver the media elements according to the configuration.

Abstract: A set of identifying elements of a first network is determined from a set of data. For each identifying element of the set of identifying elements, a first frequency at which the identifying element is associated with a first set of systems connected to the first network is determined, and a second frequency at which the identifying element is associated with a second set of systems of other networks accessible via the Internet is determined. It is determined if each identifying element is associated with the first set of systems at a greater frequency than with the second set of systems based, at least in part, on the first frequency and the second frequency. If an identifying element is associated with the first set of systems at a greater frequency than with the second set of systems, the identifying element is indicated as a fingerprint of the first network.

Abstract: A tool for network-based package monitoring and recovery. The tool scans a database to identify a gap in network traffic data. The tool determines whether at least one gap in the network traffic data is identified in the database, wherein the at least one gap is a gap in communication between a target device and a communication serve.

The tool determines whether there is active network traffic between the target device and the communication server. Responsive to a determination that there is active network traffic between the target device and the communication server, the tool replays the missing package in the active network traffic between the target device and the communication server.

Abstract: A first router transmits a first message including information identifying a first set of transport layer protocols supported by the first router. The first router receives a second message including information identifying a second set of transport layer protocols supported by a second router. A common transport layer protocol is selected from a subset of transport layer protocols that are common to the first and second sets of transport layer protocols. The first router then establishes a border gateway protocol (BGP) session with the second router over the common transport layer protocol. The first message is unicast to the second router or broadcast/multicast over a plurality of links to a plurality of routers that includes the second router. In some cases, the common transport layer protocol is selected by the router having a higher priority, based on preferences, or a combination thereof.
