Abstract: A method and a router device for managing memory for network overlay routes with fallback route support prioritization may be provided. A network overlay route as a candidate network overlay route may be obtained at a router for storage in a memory. The memory may store a plurality of network overlay routes for forwarding user plane traffic in a network. An assessment for storage of the candidate network overlay route based on a priority level indicator of the candidate network overlay route may be performed. The priority level indicator may be indicative of a fallback route support level of the candidate network overlay route in the router. Based on the assessment, at least one of the following may be performed: adding the candidate network overlay route to the memory and refraining from adding the candidate network overlay route to the memory.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device of a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) receives, from a cloud-native application, contextual data for the cloud-native application that identifies microservices of the cloud-native application. The device translates the contextual data for the cloud-native application into a network policy for traffic in the SD-WAN associated with the cloud-native application. The device applies the network policy to a traffic flow in the SD-WAN between an endpoint and a particular microservice of the cloud-native application.

Abstract: In one example, a control plane entity obtains an indication that a User Equipment (UE) has entered an idle mode. The control plane entity sets a routing locator corresponding to the UE to cause the control plane entity to trigger a paging request toward the UE to prompt the UE to transition from the idle mode when a first network node obtains a downlink packet destined for the UE. The control plane entity obtains a notification that the first network node has obtained the downlink packet and initiates the paging request toward the UE. The control plane entity updates the routing locator corresponding to the UE to cause the first network node to transmit further downlink packets destined for the UE toward a second network node configured to handle traffic on behalf of the UE.

Abstract: A method for ensuring that a memory array such as a ferroelectric memory array is properly electrically connected. The method may be performed, for example, prior to a read or write cycle, during functional testing of the memory array, etc. In one implementation, the memory array is read and the data set including a data bit from each cell is stored in a register. A solid logic 0's pattern is written into the memory array, and each cell is read. If no cell returns a logic 1, it is determined that the memory array is properly connected and the register data values are written to the memory array. If one or more cells returns a logic 1, it is determined that the memory array is improperly connected, the register data values are written to the memory array, and the memory array is removed and reinstalled.
