Abstract: In one embodiment, a service identifies a performance issue exhibited by a first device in a first network. The service forms a set of one or more time series of one or more characteristics of the first device associated with the identified performance issue. The service generates a mapping between the set of one or more time series of one or more characteristics of the first device to one or more time series of one or more characteristics of a second device in a second network. The mapping comprises a relevancy score that quantifies a degree of similarity between the characteristics of the first and second devices. The service determines a likelihood of the second device exhibiting the performance issue based on the generated mapping and on the relevancy score. The service provides an indication of the determined likelihood to a user interface associated with the second network.

Abstract: A method for routing a request for content from a content provider through an IPv6 network is described, the IPv6 network being an information centric network (ICN) in which content is directly addressed using at least a portion of an IPv6 address. The method includes receiving, at an IPv6 network, a request for content, determining that the request does not comprise an ICN address. The method further includes intercepting the request, and translating the request into an IPv6 address in which at least a portion of the address is directed to or associated with the piece of content. Systems and methods described herein address problems arising from the interaction between IP and ICN networking models.

Abstract: Stack switching detection may be provided. First, a request to connect to a server may be received by the server from a first network device. Then the server may send, in response to receiving the request, a query to the first network device for a serial number of any other network device connected to the first network device. The first network device may have a first serial number. The server may receive, from the first network device, a response to the query. The response may include a second serial number corresponding to a second network device connected to the first network device. Next, the server may determine, based on the response, that the first network device and the second network device comprise a stack unit. The server may then provision the stack unit by provisioning the first network device and provisioning the second network device through the first network device.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for detecting cyber-attacks with sonification. A method includes obtaining, at a network security analysis device, a set of features extracted from one or more network traffic flows between a given host in a network and a domain. The set of features are converted to an acoustical waveform representative of the set of features. Audio patterns are detected in the acoustical waveform using acoustical fingerprints and a cyber-attack is identified in the network by identifying an anomalous sequence of the audio patterns.

The plurality of nodes is organized in a tree structure which comprises a plurality of spine nodes, a plurality of leaf nodes, a plurality of host nodes, and a plurality of container nodes. The metric data is applied for a recursive partitioning algorithm on the plurality of nodes to generate an allocation strategy for the plurality of container nodes. The allocation strategy defines a topology of the tree structure that maximizes usage of computing resources on each node based on the first time interval.

Abstract: An optical modulator may include a lower waveguide, an upper waveguide, and a dielectric layer disposed therebetween. When a voltage potential is created between the lower and upper waveguides, these layers form a silicon-insulator-silicon capacitor (also referred to as SISCAP) guide that provides efficient, high-speed optical modulation of an optical signal passing through the modulator. In one embodiment, at least one of the waveguides includes a respective ridge portion aligned at a charge modulation region which may aid in confining the optical mode laterally (e.g., in the width direction) in the optical modulator. In another embodiment, ridge portions may be formed on both the lower and the upper waveguides. These ridge portions may be aligned in a vertical direction (e.g., a thickness direction) so that ridges overlap which may further improve optical efficiency by centering an optical mode in the charge modulation region.

Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for scheduling meetings for participants by a scheduling system in communication with a resource allocation system that determines and allocates the resources for a requested meeting, when the resources are available. The scheduling system receives a request from a client device, where the request is to schedule a first meeting. The scheduling system then sends a query to the resource allocation system, where the query includes one or more constructs that represent resources previously allocated to one or more scheduled second meetings by the resource allocation system. The scheduling system then receives a notification from resource allocation system. The notification includes one or more additional constructs representing the resources that the resource allocation system has allocated to the first meeting.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for segment routing using a remote forwarding adjacency identifier. In one embodiment, a first node in a network receives a packet, wherein the packet is received with a first segment-ID and another segment ID attached thereto. The first node detaches the first and the other segment IDs from the packet. Then the first node attaches a first label to the packet. Eventually, the first node forwards the packet with the attached first label directly to a second node in the network. In one embodiment, the other segment ID corresponds to a forwarding adjacency or tunnel label switched path between the first node and another node.

The service function forwarder receives, from the at least one service node, instructions for dynamically assigning a particular service function path to predicted network traffic that the at least one service node predicts will be triggered by the network traffic. The service function forwarder forwards the instructions to the classifier.
