Abstract: An access point allocates resource units within a first channel to mitigate interference from an adjacent second channel. The access point obtains a measure of signal strength corresponding to each wireless device attached to an access point, and assigns, for each wireless device, resource units with a first frequency band of the first channel to mitigate interference with a second frequency band of a second channel adjacent to the first channel. An assignment between a set of resource units and a particular wireless device is based on the measure of signal strength corresponding to the particular wireless device. The access point communicates with the wireless devices on the resource units.

Abstract: A wireless access point device is full-duplex capable and serves wireless communication for at least first and second wireless client devices. The wireless access point device sends to the first wireless client device a trigger frame that causes the first wireless client device to send an uplink transmission to the wireless access point after a first time interval.

The wireless access point device receives the uplink transmission from the first wireless client device. After the second time interval, and while receiving the uplink transmission from the first wireless client device, the wireless access point device sends to the second wireless client device a downlink transmission that overlaps at least partially in frequency and time with the uplink transmission from the first wireless client device.

Each stage of the plurality of stages includes a plurality of lookup table elements coupled in sequence. The carry chain circuit propagates a clock signal through the plurality of lookup table elements of the plurality of stages. The detector circuit determines, based on a value of the clock signal stored by a final lookup table element of each stage of the plurality of stages, which stage of the plurality stages contains an edge of the clock signal. The detector circuit then outputs a zero if the determined stage is assigned to a first group of the plurality of stages and a one if the determined stage is assigned to a second group of the plurality of stages.

Abstract: An extended service-function chain (SFC) proxy is hosted on a network node and connected to a service path formed by one or more network nodes hosting a chain of service-functions applied to packets traversing the service path. The packets each include a service header having a service path identifier and a service index. A packet of a traffic flow destined for a service-function is received from the service path and sent to the service-function. An indication to offload the traffic flow is received from the service-function. The indication is stored in a flow table having entries each identifying a respective traffic flow. A subsequent packet of the traffic flow is received from the service path. The flow table is searched for the indication to offload the traffic flow. Upon finding the indication, the service-function is bypassed, and the subsequent packet is forwarded along the service path.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains, from a plurality of routers in a network, a set of routing policies that collectively specify a first set of paths in the network, a second set of paths in the network, and time periods during which traffic is to be rerouted from one of the first set of paths to one of the second set of paths in the network. The device identifies overlapping path segments of the second set of paths in the network. The device makes, based in part on the overlapping path segments, a prediction that two or more of the set of routing policies will cause congestion along paths with overlapping path segments. The device adjusts, based on the prediction, the set of routing policies, to avoid causing the congestion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for causation analysis of network anomalies in a network include detecting an alarm condition at a network device, the alarm condition pertaining to an anomaly or increase in a traffic condition such as packet loss. A dominant key is identified in each of one or more key types which contributed to the alarm condition, the key types including dimensions of traffic flow. Two or more dominant keys of two or more key types are aggregated and clustered to determine a combination of dominant keys which contributed to the alarm condition. A dominant traffic flow comprising the combination of dominant keys which contributed to the alarm condition is identified based on the aggregation and clustering. Malware or security threats can be identified from detecting a dominant source IP address or host which contributed to a predominant number of packet drops or retransmissions at ports of the network.
