  • Patent number: 10686665
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate methods, systems, and computer readable media for discovery of an open network adapter. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, by a software-defined network (SDN) controller, a notification of an open networking adapter (ONA) establishing a connection with a switch, the ONA having an address associated therewith. The method further includes identifying the switch based on a lookup of the address of the ONA in forwarding tables of a neighboring switch of the SDN controller. The method further includes applying a service profile configuration to a port of the switch where the ONA is connected.

  • Patent number: 10044709
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media for multi-device single network sign-on are described. For example, a method can include authenticating a first device for network access via a first authentication process, the first device being associated with a user account. The method can also include receiving an access request from a second device associated with the user account, and determining whether the second device is within an access perimeter of the first device. The method can further include permitting the second device to access the network without a second authentication process when the second device is within the access perimeter of the first device.
