Publication number: 20210144075Abstract: Presented herein is an exemplified system and method that provides visibility, for traffic analytics, into secured encapsulated packet (e.g., secure VXLAN-GPE packet, a secure metadata-GPE packet or other GPE standards). The exemplified system and method facilitate encryption of traffic in a granular manner that also facilitate the monitoring of said secure traffic in a fabric network in an end-to-end manner throughout the network. Such monitoring can be beneficially used for analytics, performance analysis, and network debugging/troubleshooting.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2021Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Atri Indiresan, Linda Tin-Wen Cheng, Melvin Tsai, Peter Geoffrey Jones, Da-Yuan Tung, David John Zacks

Patent number: 10075391Abstract: A method for allocating port assignments for transmitting a reserved network stream across a network node comprises determining a cycle time associated with a network node. The method also comprises establishing, for at least one port of the network node, a plurality of virtual layers associated with the cycle time, wherein each of the plurality of virtual layers is divided into 2n equally-spaced slots per cycle (where n>0). The method further comprises receiving a reserved stream request associated with transmission of a reserved stream across the node, and determining a number of slots required to transmit the reserved stream. The method also comprises assigning one or more slots associated with a port of the network node to the transmission of packets associated with the reserved stream based on the determined number of slots. The method further comprises transmitting the stream according to the slot assignment associated with the port of the network node.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2017Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Norman William Finn, Rong Pan, Hiroshi Suzuki, Linda Tin-Wen Cheng, Peter Geoffrey Jones, Hariprasada Rao Ginjpalli, Rudolph Benedict Klecka

Patent number: 9413642Abstract: In an example embodiment, there is disclosed an apparatus comprising a plurality of ports and routing logic coupled with the plurality of ports. The routing logic obtains data representative of a first port configuration for the plurality of ports, the first port configuration comprises data representative of a status for individual ports selected from the plurality of ports, the status indicating whether an individual port selected from the plurality of ports is an open port, an alternate port, or a failed port. The routing logic forwards data in accordance with the first port configuration. The routing logic also obtains data representative of an alternate port configuration for the plurality of ports, the alternate port configuration is to be employed upon determining a predefined link has failed. The alternate configuration comprising a new status for individual ports selected from the plurality of ports.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Linda Tin-Wen Cheng, Krishna Kumar Vavilala
