Abstract: Physical assets in a network are graphically modeled and controlled using a monitoring and control interface. Prior to committing configuration changes to the physical assets, the draft configuration changes are analyzed to determine if they violate any logical configuration change rules. The logical configuration rules can be model-based according to target physical asset(s) for the draft configuration changes. A logical configuration change rule violation can be graphically displayed on the monitoring and control interface. The configuration changes can be stored to debug the physical assets and to roll back the configuration of the physical assets to a prior state.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing load balancing of a data packet received by a hybrid virtual load balancer. An embodiment operates by detecting a hardware capability of a switch. The hybrid virtual load balancer may also receive policy code from a user specifying a desired load balancing behavior for the data packet. Based on the hardware capability and the policy code, the hybrid virtual load balancer may determine whether to offload load balancing of the data packet to the switch or process the data packet in software on the hybrid virtual load balancer. If the load balancing is to be offloaded, the hybrid virtual load balancer may send programming instructions to an SDN controller coupled to the switch. The programming instructions direct the SDN controller to program the switch to load balance the data packet.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program embodiments are disclosed for managing network configuration and operational state data in a data network. In an embodiment, a data schema defined in a data modeling language may be received. The data schema may contain one or more data nodes describing network configuration and operational state data. The data schema may then be translated to a data definition for a serializable data structure. The data definition may be compiled into a first binding for a first programming language and a second binding for a second programming language. The first and second bindings may include accessors for accessing data of the serializable data structure.
