  • Topology-aware addressing for reconfigurable networks
    Patent number: 10164938
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an addressing agent determines a logical static IP addressing scheme for a computer network, the addressing scheme shared with an application server and defining a static mapping of IP addresses to particular types of application-based devices that are managed by the application server in particular physical locations within the computer network. The addressing agent determines a topology of the computer network indicative of application-based devices, their type, and their physical location. The addressing agent calculates a dynamic IP address for the devices based on their type and physical location as defined by the addressing scheme, and collaboratively assigns their corresponding calculated dynamic IP address.
