Abstract: Devices, networks, systems, methods, and processes for dynamically proxying traffic between interconnects of devices in a fabric are described herein. A communication network may include multiple switches, including gateway switches and non-gateway switches. Each switch can run a proxy agent for each port of the switch and for each link on each port. The switch may proxy data traffic within the communication network by utilizing the proxy agent. A non-gateway switch can send a connection request to a gateway switch to connect to an external cloud controller. The gateway switch may proxy the connection request to the external cloud controller and receive a session cookie. The non-gateway switch can establish a logical connection with the external cloud controller based on the session cookie.

Abstract: In various embodiments described herein, a method of dynamic software distribution and synchronization, includes identifying a software state change of a network device, generating a secure manifest configured for the network device, selecting a distribution strategy, propagating the secure manifest and one or more software objects, and receiving a synchronization report.

Abstract: In some embodiments described herein, methods for dynamically joining a cloud-managed network fabric can include various steps querying at least one adjacent switch, authenticating with a fabric switch, exchanging network proximity data, obtaining an agent session token from a cloud controller, and establishing a secure connection with the cloud controller.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a device, includes a processor, and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes a material target state programming logic. The logic is configured to receive a material target state, initiate a programming sequence associated with the material target state, execute individual configuration operations, receive a programming outcome report, compile a programming status report, and transmit the programming status report.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of adaptively synchronizing state data, includes updating an in-memory data with at least one current state change, receiving a data subscription request, registering, the data subscription request upon a determination that the data subscription request is valid, identifying one or more data objects associated with the subscription request, retrieving the current version of the one or more data objects, and transmitting the one or more data objects.
