  • Containerized software architecture for configuration management on network devices
    Patent number: 10756966
    Abstract: A network device has a processor that executes software instructions for a primary control plane operable to program a primary data plane that processes packets received at the network device to determine how or whether the packets are to be directed into a network. The processor also executes software instructions for a secondary control plane operable to program a secondary data plane. The secondary control and data planes are software containerized versions of the primary control and data planes, respectively. One or more configuration changes to be made to the network device are received at the secondary control plane. Test packets are obtained from the primary data plane, and network processing decisions are executed by the secondary data plane on the test packets based on the one or more configuration changes. Results of the network processing decisions executed by the secondary data plane on the test packets are evaluated.
