Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to disconnecting Wi-Fi radios due to operation of collocated wireless technology on a same device. A device may identify a first beacon received from an access point (AP), the first beacon indicating a beacon interval and received using a Wi-Fi radio. The device may determine an expected time to receive a second beacon. The device may identify a first signal received from a non-Wi-Fi radio collocated with the Wi-Fi radio. The device may determine, based on the first signal, an indication of a transmission or a reception of a second signal by the second radio during a time which overlaps the beacon interval. The device may determine a failure to identify a second beacon during the beacon interval. The device may determine a counter and may determine, based on the counter, a connection status of the first radio with the AP.

Abstract: A method is presented for supporting SNCP over a packet network connecting to two SDH sub-networks and transporting one or more SDH paths that are SNCP-protected in both SDH sub-networks. The packet network connects to each of two sub-network interconnection points by a working path and a protection path. The packet sub-network may provide the same type of path protection as an SDH sub-network using SNCP, while avoiding bandwidth duplication.

Abstract: Technologies for improving enumeration of universal serial bus (USB) devices over a media agnostic USB (MAUSB) connection are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an MAUSB device may send USB configuration data to a host compute device. The host compute device may then perform a virtual enumeration of the USB devices based on the USB configuration data without necessarily communicating with the USB devices. The MAUSB device may perform an enumeration of the USB devices on behalf of the host compute devices without necessarily communicating with the host compute device. The USB devices may not be aware or have any indication that the USB device is not communicating with the host compute device during the enumeration process. Such an approach may improve the latency of USB enumeration over an MAUSB connection.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing a single-addressable virtual topology element (VTE) in a virtual topology. A VTE in a virtual topology may be distributed as multiple instantiated elements in a physical topology. However, the multiple instantiated elements are addressable as a single entity. Obtaining information associated with the VTE includes obtaining and aggregating information from each of the instantiated elements. Applying an overall configuration to the VTE includes determining a respective configuration for each instantiated element based on the overall configuration, and applying the respective configuration to each instantiated element.

Abstract: Techniques for executing multiple Virtual Private Network (VPN) endpoints associated with an Endpoint Pool Address are disclosed. A VPN endpoint manager determines traffic attributes of traffic addressed to the Endpoint Pool Address. The VPN endpoint manager selects a quantity of VPN endpoints to be executed for processing the traffic based on the traffic attributes. The VPN endpoint manager causes execution of a plurality of VPN endpoints corresponding to the selected quantity. The VPN endpoint manager selects one VPN endpoint, from the VPN endpoint pool, to process each data packet addressed to the Endpoint Pool Address. The VPN endpoint manager may select different VPN endpoints to process data packets of different VPN sessions. The VPN endpoint manager may transfer a VPN session from one VPN endpoint to another VPN endpoint. The VPN endpoints in the VPN endpoint pool operate concurrently to process data packets addressed to the Endpoint Pool Address.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing a virtual tap in a virtual topology are described. A request to tap a particular link between a set of virtual topology entities (VTEs) is received. The particular link between the set of VTEs is mapped to a link between a set of instantiated entities in a physical topology. One of the instantiated elements implements a tapping function. Additionally or alternatively, a tapping element is instantiated and the tapping element implements the tapping function. The tapping element is not one of the set of instantiated entities. The tapping function includes: applying a tap filter to a set of data; replicating the data that passes the tap filter; and transmitting the replicated data to a virtual endpoint. The replicated data may be referred to as “tapped data.” A user interface engine presents information regarding the particular link between the set of VTEs based on the tapped data.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a memory and processing circuitry that are configured to implement a first network control protocol (NCP) MAC layer configured to handle MAC layer communications of the first NCP, and sniffer edge circuitry. The sniffer edge circuitry is configured to communicate with the first NCP MAC layer and a second NCP MAC layer and to capture events related to second NCP (WiGig) communications. These captured events are communicated over a dedicated sniffer network, and packet contents communicated between the second NCP MAC layer and the second NCP stack are secure from the sniffer edge circuitry. The apparatus receives a distributed common time reference and uses this to timestamp the captured events.
