Abstract: A processing system may obtain a first sampled flow record for a first flow in a network, comprising information regarding selected packets of the first flow, derive, from the first sampled flow record, a data volume and a duration of the first flow, and determine a first flow metric for the first flow that is calculated from the data volume and the duration, where the first flow metric is one of a plurality of flow metrics for a plurality of flows, and where the plurality of flow metrics is determined from the plurality of sampled flow records associated with the plurality of flows. The processing system may then classify the first flow into one of at least two classes, based upon the first flow metric and at least a first flow metric threshold.

Abstract: A system for closed loop prefix management for white boxes includes a network device, a route reflector coupled to the network device, a software defined network controller coupled to the route reflector and the network device, and a prefix usage analyzer in the software defined network controller. The prefix usage analyzer determines usage attributes of prefixes and identifies the prefixes with a predetermined usage attribute. The software defined network controller instructs a network controller in the network device to store the prefixes with the predetermined usage attributes in a table in the network device.

Abstract: A system for network device measurements may use a white box to perform measurements that may help determine the likelihood of network anomalies, such as microbursts.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses provide a scalable framework for analyzing queuing and transient congestion in network switches. The system reports which flows contributed to the queue buildup and enables direct per-packet action in the data plane to prevent transient congestion. The system may be configured to analyze queuing in legacy network switches.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for measuring packet delays are provided. An input port of a network device is tapped to duplicate an input packet stream having a first packet. An output port of the network device is tapped to duplicate an output packet stream including the first packet. The duplicated input packet stream and the duplicated output packet stream is transmitted to a programmable device. The first packet in the first input packet stream is matched to the first packet in the first output packet stream. An arrival time and a departure time for the first packet is measured. The difference between the departure time of the first packet and the arrival time of the first packet is determined and the value is reported to an external collector.
