  • Patent number: 12355676
    Abstract: A method of orchestrating one or more radio resources among various services executing within a container. The method includes obtaining, by an orchestration engine executing on a network device, a request, from a first service of a plurality of services, for use of a physical/hardware resource that connects a container running on the network device to a network. The request from the first service has a particular priority. The plurality of services execute within the container. The method further includes determining whether to connect the first service to the network via the physical/hardware resource based on the priority and an availability status of the physical/hardware resource and establishing, at a kernel level, a connection between the first service and the physical/hardware resource based on the determining.

  • Patent number: 12267915
    Abstract: A network infrastructure component determines a risk measurement associated with a wireless client device's use of a device address, and provides an advisory with respect to an address rotation strategy of the wireless client device based on the risk measurement. In some embodiments, the risk measurement is based on one or more of an exposure, by the wireless client device, of information on the wireless network that identifies the wireless client device and/or a characterization of a security of the wireless network environment in which the wireless client device operates.

  • Patent number: 11979848
    Abstract: Techniques for access point (AP) based location computation are disclosed. A target wireless AP, communicatively coupled to a wireless station (STA), is identified. One or more location buddy APs, relating to the target AP, are identified based on the physical locations of the location buddy APs and the target AP. It is determined that a first location buddy AP, of the one or more location buddy APs, is communicatively coupled to the STA, and in response a location of the STA is determined using the target AP.

  • Patent number: 11671331
    Abstract: Aggregated health information for a managed network may be retrieved and processed in response to changes to the managed network topology, configuration, or software. In response to receiving notification that a change to a component of the managed network has occurred, a change audit analysis engine can retrieve performance indicator information from components along a traceroute including the component which underwent the change. The retrieved performance indicator information can be processed by a memory based neural network to predict an impact of the change on the aggregated health of the managed network. The predicted impact can be compared to network health information retrieved through an ongoing basis and issues can be determined based on a comparison of the predict impact and the retrieved health information.

  • Patent number: 11558927
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory service for a wireless network obtains frequency-time Doppler profile information for an endpoint node attached to a first access point in the wireless network. The supervisory service uses the frequency-time Doppler profile information for the endpoint node as input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained to output an action for the endpoint node with respect to the wireless network. The supervisory service causes the action for the endpoint node with respect to the wireless network to be performed.
