  • Hierarchical clustering in a geographically dispersed network environment
    Patent number: 10721211
    Abstract: An example method for facilitating hierarchical clustering in a geographically dispersed network environment is provided and includes receiving a packet at one of a plurality of adaptive security appliance (ASA) units in one of a plurality of ASA clusters in a cluster domain of a network environment, identifying the packet as matching an inter-data center live traffic profile, identifying a target ASA cluster in the plurality of ASA clusters in the cluster domain, querying a domain director in the target ASA cluster for a flow owner, and if the flow owner is identified by the domain director, forwarding the packet to the flow owner in the target cluster, and if the flow owner is not identified by the domain director, and the domain director includes a flow state for a flow to which the packet belongs, designating the ASA unit as the flow owner.

  • Service function chain dynamic classification
    Patent number: 10601961
    Abstract: In one example, a service function forwarder of a service function chain enabled domain receives, from a classifier of the service function chain enabled domain, network traffic assigned to a service function path that includes at least one service node configured to apply a service function to the network traffic. The service function forwarder forwards the network traffic along the service function path. The service function forwarder receives, from the at least one service node, instructions for dynamically assigning a particular service function path to predicted network traffic that the at least one service node predicts will be triggered by the network traffic. The service function forwarder forwards the instructions to the classifier.
