  • Hybrid environment to support reliable delivery of multicast traffic using an orchestration device
    Patent number: 10462006
    Abstract: A device may receive information associated with a reliable multicast service, that permits retransmission of multicast datagrams to be provided. The device may receive information associated with a plurality of network devices associated with providing the reliable multicast service. The device may configure the plurality of network devices to provide the reliable multicast service and may monitor the plurality of network devices. The device may detect an event associated with the reliable multicast service and may provide an instruction, to one or more network devices of the plurality of network devices, to modify the reliable multicast service based on detecting the event.

  • Contextual virtual routing updates
    Patent number: 9667500
    Abstract: A computer system may include logic configured to generate a topology model of an autonomous system; detect a route advertisement, relating to an external autonomous system, from a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) router; select a client BGP router; determine a next hop destination to the external autonomous system for the selected second BGP router, based on the detected route advertisement and based on the generated topology model; and provide the determined next hop destination to the selected client BGP router.

  • Vertical airflow segregation panel and baffle
    Patent number: 9060448
    Abstract: An airflow segregation panel is disclosed for directing air flow. The airflow segregation panel includes a first connection end, an airflow direction portion and a hinge. The hinge is positioned between the first connection end and the air flow direction portion such that the air flow direction portion is selectively pivotable with respect to the first connection end. The airflow direction portion may be configured with a selectively adjustable length.
