Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods for symmetric routing and split-brain handling in high-availability (HA) networks using route priority and route affinity inversion. In one aspect, the method includes receiving, at a controller associated with a communication network, first status information associated with at least one of a first node or a second node. The first node and the second node are used in service of a first VPN. The controller determines, from the first status information, a preference associated with the first node over the second node for servicing traffic of the first VPN, and generates routing information for a third node of the communication network. The routing information specifies that the first node is preferred for serving traffic of the first VPN, and that the second node is available, but less preferred for servicing traffic of the first VPN.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes determining, at a first node in an active state, a local wide area network (WAN) tunnel state of a WAN tunnel of the first node based on a forwarding table of the first node; determining, at the first node, a local direct internet access (DIA) path state of a DIA path of the first node based on a DIA tracker; receiving, at the first node, state information associated with a second node, wherein the state information includes a far-end WAN tunnel state and a far-end DIA path state associated with the second node; comparing, at the first node, the local WAN tunnel state and the local DIA path state with the far-end WAN tunnel state and the far-end DIA path state of the second node, respectively to yield a comparison; and based on the comparison, switching, by the first node, to a standby state.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes onboarding, by an edge router, a first tenant from a network management system and determining, by the edge router, a mapping of a tenant identifier associated with the first tenant to a controller identifier associated with a controller. The method also includes reserving, by the edge router, a port number in a kernel for the first tenant and inserting, by the edge router, the tenant identifier into a first control packet. The method further includes communicating, by the edge router, the first control packet to the controller via an encrypted control connection during a first peering session. The first peering session shares the encrypted control connection with a second peering session.

Abstract: The present technology uses stateless virtual private network (VPN) homing to assign one of the nodes as an active node and the other as a standby node. When the packet is received at the active node and return traffic received at the standby node, the standby node can redirect the traffic to the VPN-homed active node since the VPN is stateless and therefore the resetting by the stateful application will not occur. Multiple VPNs can be implemented to route more business-critical traffic across an active node while still permitting the other node to be active in a second VPN for less critical traffic. The nodes can therefore be used more efficiently but without the session reset problem inherent in stateful application configurations.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises an analytic server for electronic requests routing and distribution. The server receives a plurality of requests from a plurality of electronic user devices. Aiming to routing the plurality of requests to appropriate agents, the server trains an artificial intelligence model for each agent based on historical data. For each request, the server executes the artificial intelligence model to determine a score indicating the probability of the agent converting the request to a successful sale. The server determines an entropy value for each request based on the scores and order the requests into a queue based on the entropy values. The server also calculates a capacity for each agent based on historical agent data. For each request in the queue, the server routes the request to an agent based on at least one of the score and capacity of the agent.

Abstract: An angular rate sensor has a ring, a plurality of sensor-drivers, circuitry, a controller, an energy sensor, and an output signal generator. The sensors-drivers may be capacitors, inductors, or a sensor having a piezoelectric material. The sensor-drivers each have a component that vibrates along with the ring, and the sensor-drivers are arranged in cooperating sets, each cooperating set having two sensor-drivers positioned 180° apart. The circuitry can selectively engage some of the cooperating sets as sensors and others of the cooperating sets as drivers. Those sets used as sensors sense motion of the ring. Those sets used as drivers apply forces to the ring. Some of the drivers cause the ring to vibrate at its natural frequency, and some of the drivers seek to inhibit motion of the ring at particular locations. Locations at which drivers seek to inhibit motion are those locations that would be nodes in the absence of angular motion.
