Abstract: An apparatus includes a crossbar circuit that routes one or more packets between one or more ingress domains and one or more egress domains. The crossbar circuit includes sub-crossbar domains. An ingress control circuit associated with the one or more ingress domains may distribute packet data of the one or more packets to the sub-crossbar domains. An egress control circuit of the apparatus receives data bits associated with the packet data from egresses associated with the plurality of sub-crossbar domains. The egress control circuit may reorder or refrain from reordering the data bits based on an attribute associated with the distribution of the packet data.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for enabling permissible interactions with applications shared during communication sessions. The system may detect, by a communication application on a first device during a communication session, activation of a sharing function on a second device. The sharing function may enable sharing of a shared application via the communication application. The system may determine one or more permissible interactions for the first device to perform with one or more portions of the shared application. Based on user input received by the first device, the system may detect an interaction with a portion of the shared application. The system may determine whether the interaction is a permissible interaction for the shared application. In response to determining that the interaction is permissible, the system may perform an action on the portion of the shared application on the first device.

Abstract: System and method embodiments of centralized discovery controller (CDC) services on a switching network fabric are disclosed. Nodes on the switching network fabric are categorized into leader nodes, e.g., spine switches, and follower nodes, e.g., leaf switches. The CDC services may be divided into centralized CDC services and distributed CDC services, which have direct connections to endpoints for seamless horizontal scaling of endpoints. The centralized CDC services may be placed on a leader node, and the distributed CDC services may be placed among the follower nodes. Operations of the CDC services may be monitored. In case of a node failure, CDC services deployed on the failed node may be moved or transferred to one or more other nodes that have the same role as the failed node. Implementations of the CDC service placement embodiments enable seamless horizontal scaling for endpoints and provide capability for more visibility and monitoring of endpoint.

Abstract: A computer implemented method is described for validation of a service. A graph data structure including a catalog layer with a service offering is statically analyzed. The method uses the static analysis to determine that a build exposing the service deviates from a pre-declared whitelist of dependencies. The method rejects insertion of the build into the graph data structure responsive to the determination in accord with a deny-by-default security posture.

Abstract: A network device includes ingress queues for storing data units while the data units are being processed by ingress packet processors, and a plurality of egress buffer memories for storing data units received from the ingress queues while the data units are being processed by the egress packet processors. First circuitry controls respective rates at which data units are transferred from ingress queues to egress buffer memories. Second circuitry monitors the egress buffer memories for congestion and sends, to the first circuitry, flow control messages related to congestion resulting of egress buffer memories. The first circuitry progressively increases over time a rate at which data from each ingress queue are transferred to an egress buffer memory in response to receiving a flow control message that indicates that congestion corresponding to the egress buffer memory has ended.
