Abstract: Techniques for structuring IP version 6 (IPv6) addresses into bit fields to embed language localization and services information (e.g., and/or other attributes/information) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for structuring IPv6 addresses into bit fields to embed language localization and services information includes allocating a configurable portion of an IP version 6 (IPv6) address for a subnet, wherein the subnet includes information that is associated with a geographical location (geolocation); and determining an attribute for a new session based on the subnet.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for routing network traffic. The method includes (i) receiving, at least indirectly from one or more contributor nodes, a set of route information, (ii) causing a routing table to be updated based at least in part on the indication, and (iii) routing network traffic based at least in part on the routing table. The route information obtained from a particular contributor node includes a network prefix, and one or more attributes. The one or more attributes comprises an indication of whether a particular aggregator node to which the route information is provided to be used as a primary aggregator node or a backup aggregator node.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for routing network traffic. The network traffic can include traffic associated with a particular IP address that is allocated to a user. The method includes (i) associating a sequence number with each IP address allocation, (ii) obtaining a routing metric associated with a particular IP address, wherein the routing metric is determined based at least in part on the sequence numbers, and (iii) determining a routing for traffic for the particular IP address based at least in part on the routing metric.

Abstract: Techniques for deploying IPv6 routing are disclosed. A system, process, and/or computer program product for deploying IPv6 routing includes advertising in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) a new address-family capability in combination with an existing address-family in a network that supports a plurality of address families, and undoing BGP filters to allow BGP routes to be exchanged at a time that a network administrator enables the new address-family capability in the network.

Abstract: Techniques for providing security for providing a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Interconnect Platform are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for a SASE Interconnect Platform includes receiving ingress Service Provider (SP) data plane traffic for a tenant from an SP backbone to a SASE cloud network for security processing via an Interconnect that is configured for a compute region and an IP block and an Autonomous System Number (ASN) to advertise the IP block in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP); extracting contextual information associated with the SP data plane traffic to determine a security policy to apply to the SP data plane traffic; enforcing the security policy on the SP data plane traffic to provide secured SP data plane traffic using a Security Processing Node (SPN); and egressing the secured SP data plane traffic back to the SP backbone or to an external network.

Abstract: A contributor-aggregator network configuration disclosed herein automates aggregation of network prefixes allocated to an autonomous system for a border network element dubbed a “contributor.” The contributor advertises allocated network prefixes to an aggregator network element “aggregator” and additionally identifies and encodes aggregation length parameters according to a routing protocol in the advertisements that indicate how to aggregate network prefixes. The aggregator advertises aggregated network prefixes identified based on the encoded parameters to its peers to reduce overall load by simplifying routing and advertisement to the aggregated network prefixes.

Abstract: In system of networks that are not fully meshed with each other and that are capable of processing distributed hash table (DHT) Put and Get messages, message flooding of GET messages is limited by maintaining a list of DHTs the GET has visited. Also, PUT messages include not only the storage location key in the home network but also a list of networks that the PUT has visited, in essence establishing a dynamically changing path within the PUT back to the home network.

Abstract: In a tiered system of networks capable of processing distributed hash table (DHT) Put and Get messages, if a sending network of a Put or Get is at a tier below a subject tier at which a subject network receiving the message is located, the message is forwarded to networks at tiers below the subject tier. On the other hand, if the sending network is at a tier equal to or above the subject tier, the message is forwarded to all networks in the system other than the sending network.

Abstract: A node in an overlay network requests a ranked list of other nodes in multiple areas of the overlay network that can provide a desired piece of content or service to the requesting node. A separate node such as a router generates the ranked list using a routing algorithm, returning the list to the requesting node so that the requesting node may acquire the desired content or service from the nearest node in the overlay network.

Abstract: Systems may use explicit ratings from users to construct user to user correlations. This technique may reduce the user-content correlation to a single dimension, i.e., the content that a plurality of users may rate similarly. Embodiments of the present invention may use DHT as an underlying distributed signaling mechanism, but may also make the rating implicit. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention may construct the user to content correlation based on multi-dimensional metadata related to the content.

Abstract: In system of DHT rings that are not filly meshed with each other, flooding of PUT and GET messages is limited by PUTting a content key indicating an actual storage location of content from a content provider only to root DHTs associated with the content provider, and PUTting a secondary key indicating a subset of DHT rings at which content from the content provider might be stored only to DHT rings for which the content provider desires the content to be available. When a DHT receives a GET it first determines from the content key whether it can provide the content and if not, the DHT obtains the subset of DHT rings from the secondary key and forwards the GET of the content key to the corresponding root DHTs.
