Abstract: In some examples, a system receives a context of an application to request a set of network traffic, the context including a requested behavior of a service enabled by the application, and provides a policy to a network device of a network, the policy to regulate the set of network traffic based on the context, the policy provided to the network device to cause the network device to route the set of network traffic based on applying the policy, the routing comprising forwarding the set of network traffic to a destination or denying transmission of the set of network traffic to the destination.

Abstract: A substrate comprises multiple interposers. Each interposer includes interposer elements, where an optical device is coupled to at least some of the interposer elements; two passages formed through the interposer, where each passage is registered with respect to the interposer elements; two blind holes formed in a surface of the interposer, where each blind hole is concentric with a different passage; two annular troughs formed in the surface, each concentric with a different passage, and an annular area separates the annular troughs from an outer diameter of the corresponding concentric passage; and two spherical registration elements, where each registration element is positioned on uncured adhesive on one of the annular areas, where the passages enable a vacuum to be drawn through such that the registration elements are pulled toward the surface of the interposer to self-align to the inner diameter of the blind holes.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to addition or modification to a forwarding table based on an address. A first packet having a source address and a location value may be received. The source address includes a source of the first packet and the location value indicates at least part of a route along a network to the source address. The forwarding table is not modified or no new entry is added to the forwarding table, if the forwarding table does not include the source address.
