Abstract: A distributed key management system includes a first SCP subsystem coupled to second SCP subsystems via a network. The first SCP subsystem establishes secure communication channels with the second SCP subsystems, and a first key management subsystem in the first SCP subsystem retrieves enabling key(s) for communicating via the secure communication channels from a second key management subsystem in one of the second SCP subsystems, and stores the enabling key(s). The first key management subsystem then receives a first enabling key request from the first SCP subsystem and determines whether the first SCP subsystem is trusted. If the first SCP subsystem is trusted, the first key management subsystem provides the first SCP subsystem access to the at least one enabling key. If the first SCP subsystem is not trusted, the first key management subsystem prevents the first SCP subsystem from accessing the at least one enabling key stored.

Abstract: A high-density networking system includes first networking device(s) coupled to a second networking device. The second networking device has a port row including first ports and a first subset of third ports, and second ports and a second subset of third ports that are each moveable relative to the first ports and the first subset of third ports, with the third ports coupled to the first networking device(s). The second networking device includes a switch device coupling the third ports to its processing system. The switch device in second networking device routes data from the processing system through a network via the first subset of third ports/first networking device(s), determines that data received from the processing system cannot reach the network via the first subset of third ports and, in response, routes data received from the processing system through the network via the second subset of third ports/first networking device(s).

The control plane system then transmits each respective SCP-local data flow control graph to each of the SCP subsystems, and the inter-SCP data flow control graph(s) to at least one SCP subsystem, for use by the SCP subsystems in causing their service(s) to manipulate/exchange data to perform the workload.
