Abstract: A data path root cause analysis application (“application”) identifies a node in a computing fabric as a root cause of failure in a data path. Based on detecting a failure in the data path, the application performs a reverse traversal starting at the last node in the data path. At each node in the reverse traversal, the application sends modified packets through the data path with custom headers comprising flags to exit the data path at the current node. When modified packets successfully exit the data path at a current node in the reverse traversal, the application identifies a previous node as the root cause of failure. The node identified as a root cause of failure is then remediated to allow further communication of packets through the data path.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to managing industrial internet of things end points and includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors and comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause one or more switches to perform operations comprising: identifying a first end point using a protocol associated with the first end point, determining a classification for the identified first end point based on one or more attributes of the first end point, identifying one or more related end points having the classification in common with the first end point, segmenting the first end point with the identified one or more related end points, and applying one or more policies to the segmented first end point and the one or more related end points.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products relating to anchoring a wireless device to a wireless controller. A type of a network device is identified based on data included in a network message received at a first wireless local area network (LAN) controller (WLC). It is determined, based on the identified type, that the network device should be anchored to a pre-determined anchor WLC. An anchor request message is transmitted from the first WLC to the pre-determined anchor WLC. A network traffic tunnel is established between the network device and the pre-determined anchor WLC such that network traffic from the network device can be controlled by the pre-determined anchor WLC.
