Patent number: 10103902Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for utilizing VXLANs within a network, such as a data center, for transporting L2 customer communications. Moreover, the disclosure describes techniques for auto-discovering, for each VXLAN, a corresponding replication node for replicating and distributing unknown destination, broadcast, and multicast frames to VXLAN Tunnel Endpoints (“VTEPs”) within the data center. Further, the techniques facilitate, by the replication node, discovery and auto-registration of the VTEPs for the respective customer network. As such, the techniques may facilitate configuration of VXLANs without necessarily relying on multicast protocols to provide such functionality. In this way, the techniques described herein may be used to supplement or even replace reliance on multicast protocols, such as the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocol, when configuring VXLANs within a network.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Prabakaran Thirumali Sampath, SelvaKumar Sivaraj, Ravi Shekhar

Patent number: 10080193Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for maintaining a wireless connection to a remote server while a device is in a low power mode. As a result of maintaining the connection, the device can receive messages triggering a wakeup event and placing the device in a normal power mode, enabling the device to be controlled remotely. To maintain the connection, the device transitions from sending encrypted network messages to a server from a first interval while in the normal power mode to a second interval while in the low power mode. In addition, the device sends unencrypted network messages to the server at the first interval using low power circuitry. The low power circuitry receives messages from the server and may trigger the device to enter the normal power mode and/or a connection maintenance mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2016Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gilles-Arnaud Bleu-Laine, Eduardo Bezerra Valentin, Aditya Yashwant Bhave, James David Meyers, Hanxiao Fu

Patent number: 9929940Abstract: In general, techniques are provided for described herein that extend existing Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) protocol signaling mechanisms so that local, multi-homing PEs couple to an Ethernet segment can definitively convey their primary/backup designated forwarder (DF) status to any remote PE of the EVPN. In one example, this is accomplished by utilizing a new extended community attribute to each Ethernet A-D per EVI route advertised by each of the multi-homing PEs to specifically carry the advertising PE's primary or backup status. As such, any receiving remote PE need not rely on the arrival of individual MAC routes from a new primary PE and withdrawal of MAC routes from a former primary PE to update its forwarding information.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Nitin Singh, Ryan Bickhart, Manoj Sharma, Hassan C.
