  • Patent number: 10554477
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for aggregating and presenting network events in a network environment. In some embodiments, a system can maintain event correlation rules for aggregating \network events occurring in a network based on characteristics of previously occurring network events. Network events occurring in the specific network environment can be identified. The network events can be aggregated to form an aggregated network event using the event correlation rules maintained based on the characteristics of previously occurring network events. The aggregated network event can subsequently be presented to a user.

  • Patent number: 10505817
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology provide solutions for determining a time period (“epoch”) required to monitor or analyze a tenant network. Some implementations of the technology include a process for making automatic epoch determinations, which includes steps for identifying one or more network parameters for a tenant network, analyzing the tenant network using the network parameters to discover one or more configuration settings of the tenant network, and determining a first epoch for the tenant network, the first epoch corresponding with a period of time to complete analysis of the tenant network using the network parameters. In some aspects, the process can further include steps for generating a tenant profile for the tenant network, the tenant profile based on the network parameters, the first epoch, and the one or more configuration settings of the tenant network. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190081871
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for detecting and reporting anomalies in a network environment for providing network assurance. In some embodiments, a system can determine confidence scores for at least one value of parameters of a network environment defining network events occurring in the network environment. The confidences scores can indicate a frequency that the defined network events have a specific event state. The confidence scores can be monitored to detect an anomaly in the network environment. In response to detecting the anomaly in the network environment, the system can determine a relevant network state of the network environment. The relevant network state of the network environment and the anomaly in the network environment can be presented to a user.

  • Publication number: 20180367417
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for receiving one or more models of network intents, comprising a plurality of contracts between providers and consumers, each contract containing entries with priority values. Each contract is flattened into a listing of rules and a new priority value is calculated. The listing of rules encodes the implementation of the contract between the providers and the consumers. Each entry is iterated over and added to a listing of entries if it is not already present. For each rule, the one or more entries associated with the contract from which the rule was flattened are identified, and for each given entry a flat rule comprising the combination of the rule and the entry is generated, wherein a flattened priority is calculated based at least in part on the priority value of the given one of given entry and the priority value of the rule.

  • Publication number: 20180309629
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for static network policy analysis for a network. In one example, a system obtains a logical model based on configuration data stored in a controller on a software-defined network, the logical model including a declarative representation of respective configurations of objects in the software-defined network, the objects including one or more endpoint groups, bridge domains, contexts, or tenants. The system defines rules representing respective conditions of the objects according to a specification corresponding to the software-defined network, and determines whether the respective configuration of each of the objects in the logical model violates one or more of the rules associated with that object. When the respective configuration of an object in the logical model violates one or more of the rules, the system detects an error in the respective configuration associated with that object.

  • Patent number: 8850137
    Abstract: A memory device and related techniques are provided to modify data stored in the memory device without the need to send the data to an external device. A command is received at the memory device to modify data stored at a memory location in a memory array of the memory device. The command includes a value to be used for modifying the data. The memory device reads data from the memory location. The data read from the memory location is modified with modify circuit in the memory device based on the value obtained form the command to produce results data. The results data produced by the modify circuit is written back to the memory location. Since the memory device does not need to send the data read from the memory array off-chip to another device, referred to herein as a host device, to update the data, the input/output bandwidth of the bandwidth is substantially reduced, allowing for lower power memory device operation and reduced latency.
