  • Patent number: 11824727
    Abstract: Techniques of network configuration verification are disclosed herein. One example process includes, upon receiving a query to determine whether a packet from a first endpoint is reachable to a second endpoint in a virtual network, identifying a network path between the first endpoint to the second endpoint in a network graph. The network graph has nodes representing corresponding enforcement points of network policies in the virtual network and edges connecting pairs of the nodes. The example process can also include generating compound function representing conjoined individual constraints of the network policies at each of the nodes in the network graph along the identified network path, compiling the generated compound function into a Boolean formula, and solving the compiled Boolean formula to determine whether an assignment of values to packet fields of the packet exists such that all the conjoined individual constraints of the compound function can be satisfied.

  • Patent number: 11823048
    Abstract: Implementations are directed to generating simulated training examples for training of a machine learning model, training the machine learning model based at least in part on the simulated training examples, and/or using the trained machine learning model in control of at least one real-world physical robot. Implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to performing one or more iterations of quantifying a “reality gap” for a robotic simulator and adapting parameter(s) for the robotic simulator based on the determined reality gap. The robotic simulator with the adapted parameter(s) can further be utilized to generate simulated training examples when the reality gap of one or more iterations satisfies one or more criteria.

  • Patent number: 11822808
    Abstract: Data may be replicated from a host storage system to a target storage system. It may be determined to replicate a first logical storage element on the source storage system to a second logical storage element on the target storage system, wherein the first logical storage element defines a first data portion having a first value. It may be determined that a third logical storage element on the target storage system defines a second data portion having the first value. The first logical storage element may be replicated to the second logical storage element by establishing a deduplication relationship between the second logical storage element and the third logical storage element on the target storage system without transmitting the first data portion from the source storage system to the target storage system.
