  • Patent number: 11212217
    Abstract: A system includes a first aggregated networking device that is included with the second aggregated networking device in a link aggregation domain. The first aggregated networking device provides, to a networking device via a link aggregation group (LAG), a first control message that defines itself as a root bridge and the first link aggregation domain as a designated bridge. The second aggregated networking device detects that the first aggregated networking device is unavailable. The second aggregated networking devices then provides, to the networking device via the LAG, a second control message that defines itself as the root bridge, and the first link aggregation domain as the designated bridge. Network traffic is transmitted in response to the networking device accepting the second aggregated networking device as a new root bridge based on the first link aggregation domain being defined as the designated bridge in both the first and second control messages.

  • Patent number: 11184191
    Abstract: A network security device has a local area network (LAN) interface and a wide area network (WAN) interface, with a capability to route packets of a network connection along a fast path that bypasses a network stack of an operating system of the network security device. A packet of a network connection that is received at the LAN interface is routed to a virtual network interface. A packet inspector reads the packet from the virtual network interface, inspects the packet, and writes the packet back to the virtual network interface after inspection. The packet is routed from the virtual network interface to the WAN interface, and exits the WAN interface towards the destination network address of the packet. After inspecting one or more packets of the network connection, subsequently received packets of the network connection are routed along the fast path.
