  • Publication number: 20220116290
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable for determining performance metrics of a network include obtaining, from a network assurance system, one or more network performance metrics, the network performance metrics corresponding to execution of one or more applications in a network domain. An Application Performance Management (APM) system provides one or more applications performance metrics, the applications performance metrics corresponding to execution of the one or more applications in an applications domain. The one or more network performance metrics are integrated with the one or more applications performance metrics to determine integrated performance metrics for the one or more applications across the network domain and the applications domain.

  • Patent number: 11115291
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for transmitting configuration data to an internetworking device to cause configuration of a network port on the internetworking device. The method comprises generating and causing display, on a computer display device, of a graphical user interface comprising a graphical representation of network ports on the internetworking device and a text area prompting input of current network environment information. Receiving input specifying the network environment. Automatically deriving network configuration values to configure the network port on the internetworking device, the network configuration values being based on the input. Displaying a graphical representation of the network port and the network configuration values corresponding to the network port. In response to input confirming the network configuration values for the network port, transmitting configuration data to the internetworking device to cause configuring of the network port using the network configuration values.

  • Patent number: 10574519
    Abstract: Detection and configuration of a logical channel may be provided. First, data traffic received on a plurality of ports of a first network device may be analyzed by a computing device. Next, based upon analyzing the data traffic received on the plurality of ports, the computing device may determine that the plurality of ports comprise a logical channel from the perspective of a second network device. The plurality of ports may then be configured as the logical channel on the first network device based upon determining that the plurality of ports comprise the logical channel from the perspective of the second network device.

  • Patent number: 10462007
    Abstract: Changes are made to a virtual network for an endpoint based on the authenticated user identity of the endpoint. The system includes a server and a controller associated with a network fabric to which the endpoint is connected. The network fabric includes network elements to carry network traffic for the endpoint. The server authenticates the endpoint associated with a network address and determines a user identity of the endpoint based on the authentication. The server determines a first virtual network associated with the user identity. The controller receives a notification from the server that the network traffic for the endpoint associated with the network address is to be routed over the first virtual network. The controller updates routing information to associate the network address with the first virtual network and sends the updated routing information to the network elements of the network fabric.

  • Publication number: 20160164825
    Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing network traffic policies. A domain name system (DNS) infrastructure is accessed to obtain metadata associated with a destination address of a traffic flow; the traffic flow is classified by the destination address and the metadata; and a policy is applied to the traffic flow, wherein the policy is determined on the basis of the classification of the traffic flow.

  • Publication number: 20160164826
    Abstract: In an embodiment, at a network element in a network, a domain name query is intercepted from a client. Metadata associated with a network application or service that is the object of the domain name query is obtained from a domain name system server. A policy is determined to enforce, based on the metadata, and the policy is enforced with respect to the client's access of the network application or service.
