Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a test plan, a plurality of performed steps, a configuration for a test environment in which the test was performed, and a result of the test. The processor compares the plurality of performed steps to the plurality of planned steps, compares the configuration for a first test environment and the configuration for the second test environment, and determines whether an action of the plurality of actions resulted in a failure. The processor presents a first chart, a second chart, and a third chart the results of the comparisons and determination. The processor deploys an application corresponding to the test plan if each step of the plurality of planned steps was performed during the test, if the second test environment was configured according to the configuration for the first test environment, and if the failure was fixed.

Abstract: A controller may control client switches in a network including client and non-client switches. The controller may maintain a link discovery table including entries that identify links between client switches. The controller may classify the links as direct or broadcast links. To classify links of the link discovery cable, the controller may direct client switches to send broadcast and directed discovery packets from switch ports. Client switches that receive the discovery packets from other client switches may forward the discovery packets to the controller. The controller may use the discovery packets to classify the links of the link discovery table. The controller may classify ports as broadcast or regular ports based on the classified links. Non-client broadcast domains of the network topology may be identified from the broadcast ports using the broadcast and direct links of the link discovery table.

Abstract: A controller implemented on computing equipment may be used to control switches in a network. End hosts and service devices may be coupled to the switches in the network. The controller may generate a virtual network topology of virtual switches and virtual routers. The controller may control the virtual routers and/or virtual switches to perform service insertion. The controller may perform service insertion by controlling the virtual routers and/or virtual switches to redirect network traffic through one or more selected service devices. The controller may determine which network traffic is to be redirected to which service devices based on a service insertion policy that identifies network traffic and services to be performed on the network traffic.

Abstract: This invention is a signal input/output design tool for integrated circuit input/output design. The connectivity capacity of at least multiplexer connecting internal signals and external lines is expressed as a first set of Boolean expressions. The desired connectivity between internal signals and external lines is expressed is provided by a designer. A programmed general purpose computer expresses the desired connectivity as a second set of Boolean expressions and determines whether said first set of Boolean expressions and said second set of Boolean expressions are Boolean satisfiable. If satisfiable, the design tool generates control signals to configure the at least one multiplexer to achieve the desired connectivity. If not satisfiable, the design tool generates a report indicating which portions of the desired connectivity are achievable and which are not.
