Abstract: A system related to black hole filtering is provided. The system can allow a dynamic routing protocol on a network device to determine whether a route learned by the dynamic routing protocol is a black hole route. The route may be learned through another source. In response to a determination that the route is the black hole route, the dynamic routing protocol may generate a routing update that indicates the route as the black hole route. The dynamic routing protocol may then advertise the routing update to each neighbor network device.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to management of default route advertisement by an Area Border Router in an OSPF network. In an example, an ABR in an OSPF network may determine whether a pre-condition for the ABR to advertise a default route to a stub area is met. In response to a determination that the pre-condition for the ABR to advertise the default route to the stub area is met, the ABR may advertise the default route to an adjacent router in the stub area.

Abstract: In some examples, a first router establishes a fault detection session between the first router connected to a routing area and an outside router assigned a forwarding address, the outside router located outside the routing area, and the forwarding address used by a second router of the routing area to send a data packet to the outside router. The first router detects, in the fault detection session, a fault associated with the outside router, and in response to detecting the fault associated with the outside router in the fault detection session, provides an indication to the routing area that the forwarding address is no longer accessible.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the disclosure, a computing system including at least one networking device with at least one processor and memory. The at least one processor executes instructions stored in the memory to collect data from one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices via a first communication protocol and provide access to the collected data by one or more user devices via a second and different communication protocol. Further, the one or more IoT devices are communicatively coupled to the at least one networking device to sense the data and transmit the data to the at least one networking device, and the one or more user devices are communicatively coupled to the at least one networking device.
