Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for enabling performance monitoring of flows within a management and provisioning tunnel used for communicating packets between a wireless controller and wireless access point devices. A wireless controller that is configured to communicate with at least one wireless access point obtains a packet to be sent to the wireless access point for wireless transmission in a wireless network by the wireless access point. The wireless controller identifies, based on the packet, traffic session flow information associated with the packet. The wireless controller encapsulates the packet with a tunneling header that comprises the traffic session flow information and sends the encapsulated packet to the wireless access point. The tunneling header may also comprise an application identifier (ID) associated with the packet.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying an access point joining a wireless controller in communication with a switch, establishing a control tunnel between the access point and the wireless controller, transmitting an address of the switch from the wireless controller to the access point, and requesting the switch to setup a data tunnel with the access point. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes performing stateful application classification on packets received at a controller and transmitting classification information to an access point. The classification information includes flow information and stateless rules for applying policies. The access point is configured to use the classification information to perform stateless application classification and apply policies to packets received from a mobile device. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first transport stack, a virtual network interface controller (VNIC), and a second transport stack. The first transport stack is associated with an Internetwork Operating System (IOS), as well as with a plurality of interface-based Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and a plurality of IP addresses. The VNIC is configured to dynamically provision the plurality of interface-based IP addresses and the plurality of IP addresses. The second transport stack is associated with a kernel, and configured to communicate with a first application. The MS is configured to enable the first application to share the plurality of IP addresses and the plurality if IP addresses with a plurality of applications.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a licensing authority receives a rehost ticket indicating proof of removal of a license from a first device. The licensing authority receives a request for a license for a second device. The licensing authority validates the rehost ticket to ensure that the license on the first device has been removed from the first device. The licensing authority provides a license for the second device if the rehost ticket is successfully validated, wherein the license that has been removed from the first device and the license for the second device provide the same license capabilities. The first device and the second device are associated with the same customer. Payment has been received for the license associated with the first device but payment has not been received for a separate license capable of being applied to the second device.

Abstract: A method and system for validating a Command Line Interface (CLI) configlet on an image is provided. The method includes creating a parse graph using a plurality of self-describing data constructs, identifying a plurality of parse chain data constructs in the parse graph, deriving at least one CLI/configlet from the image file based on the plurality of self-describing data constructs; and comparing the at least one CLI/configlet derived from the image file with a plurality of CLIs/configlets.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting a “hitless” switchover from an Active to a Standby processor uses a hybrid synchronization of interface states to allow applications that have been modified to have HA aware features and non-modified applications to function on the system. An interface description data block on the Standby RP is synchronized to the interface description data block on the Active RP and is maintained in a shadow state when the Active RP controls the system. In the event of a switchover between the RPs the interface description data block on the Standby RP is copied from the shadow state to a real state and applications on the Standby RP are notified of a status change.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a licensing authority receives a rehost ticket indicating proof of removal of a license from a first device. The licensing authority receives a request for a license for a second device. The licensing authority validates the rehost ticket to ensure that the license on the first device has been removed from the first device. The licensing authority provides a license for the second device if the rehost ticket is successfully validated, wherein the license that has been removed from the first device and the license for the second device provide the same license capabilities. The first device and the second device are associated with the same customer. Payment has been received for the license associated with the first device but payment has not been received for a separate license capable of being applied to the second device.

Abstract: A system and method for selective regression testing is described. The system and method provides a test script database identifying multiple portions of a first low level code (e.g., assembly code) and tests associated with at least one of the multiple portions of first low level code. A comparator may identify a change set between the multiple portions of the first low level code and corresponding portions of modified low level code. After the database has been queried by a changed set query module, using the identified change set as key, an optimum or reduced test suite is identified from the database, to be run on the modified low level code, thereby to verify the change set.

Abstract: A computer system and method are provided for the verification of functional equivalence between at least two source codes residing on at least one computer. A comparison is carried out between a source code and a modified version of the source code. The comparison is performed to determine the functional equivalence between the two source codes. The functional equivalence is determined on the basis of type, scope and linkage of identifiers of the source codes. The identifiers are extracted from the assembly codes of the source codes.
