  • Patent number: 11941460
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for improved routing operations in a network computing environment. A system includes a virtual customer edge router and a host routed overlay comprising a plurality of host virtual machines. The system includes a routed uplink from the virtual customer edge router to one or more of the plurality of leaf nodes. The system is such that the virtual customer edge router is configured to provide localized integrated routing and bridging (IRB) service for the plurality of host virtual machines of the host routed overlay.

  • Patent number: 11863351
    Abstract: A logical router includes disaggregated network elements that function as a single router and that are not coupled to a common backplane. The logical router includes spine elements and leaf elements implementing a network fabric with front panel ports being defined by leaf elements. Control plane elements program the spine units and leaf to function a logical router. The control plane may define operating system interfaces mapped to front panel ports of the leaf elements and referenced by tags associated with packets traversing the logical router. Redundancy and checkpoints may be implemented for a route database implemented by the control plane elements. The logical router may include a standalone fabric and may implement label tables that are used to label packets according to egress port and path through the fabric.

  • Patent number: 6003077
    Abstract: A standard SNMP management station is replaced by a client computer having a standard Web browser while utilizing the services of a Web/SNMP proxy agent in accordance with the present invention. The Internet locations of the ASN.1 specifications for various MIB modules, as well as other information resources associated with those MIB modules, are stored in resource records in a section of the DNS established for storing such information. The Web/SNMP proxy agent automatically locates the ASN.1 specification for each MIB module of any identified SNMP agent, by looking up the location in the DNS. The Web/SNMP proxy agent then compiles the ASN.1 MIB module specifications into HTML documents for viewing on the client computer. User requests for retrieving data from specified MIB objects and/or for sending data values to specified MIB objects are communicated from the client computer to the Web/SNMP proxy agent using standard HTTUP communications.
