  • Return path trace
    Patent number: 11303553
    Abstract: A reverse network tracing mechanism is described. In an embodiment, a network information request is received that is addressed to a predetermined destination. It is determined that the network information request has an expired timer and a message is returned indicating that a return network path routing procedure has been initiated. After determining that the network information request has an unexpired timer, contents of the network information request are modified to enable identification of at least a portion of the return path from the predetermined destination to a source address of the network information request.
    Type: Grant

  • Dynamic network device configuration
    Patent number: 10243790
    Abstract: A dynamic configuration system can manage and configure switches or other network devices that come online in a network. When the dynamic configuration system determines that a network device has come online, the dynamic configuration system can identify the network device (e.g., based on its network location, neighbors, fingerprint, identifier, address or the like), select the appropriate configuration data for the network based on the desired network topology, and transmit the configuration data to the network device. The network device can then load the configuration data and function as a component of the desired network topology.
