Publication number: 20240073147Abstract: Techniques are described for routing traffic through an interconnect cloud gateway based on cloud traffic routing indicators. The interconnect cloud gateway can advertise the cloud traffic routing indicators, which can include cloud indicators and transport gateway indicators. The cloud indicators can include cloud tags utilized to route cloud traffic. The transport gateway indicators can include transport gateway flags utilized to identify private networks utilized to route the cloud traffic. The cloud traffic can routed during normal private network operation through private networks, which can be dynamically replaced by public networks due to occurrences of failures preventing the data traffic from being routed through the private networks and to cloud networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Ramakumara Kariyappa, Satish Mahadevan, Biju Mathews Mammen, Balaji Sundararajan, Giorgio Valentini, Venkatraman Venkatapathy

The techniques may include establishing a first path between a cluster of routers and an application infrastructure. Establishing a second path between the cluster of routers and the application infrastructure. Designating a first router in the cluster of routers to send probes over the first path to the application infrastructure. Designating a second router in the cluster of routers to send probes over the second path to the application infrastructure. Distributing, by the first router and to the cluster of routers, first routing performance data indicating a performance of the first path when communicating with the application infrastructure over the first path, distributing, by the second router and to the cluster of routers, second routing performance data indicating a performance of the second path when communicating with the application infrastructure over the second path.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Balaji Sundararajan, Vivek Agarwal, Jegan Kumar Somi Ramasamy Subramanian, Gokul Krishnan, Giorgio Valentini, Venkatraman Venkatapathy

Patent number: 11838371Abstract: The present technology is directed to controlling and managing resources both in Software-Defined Cloud Interconnect (SDCI) providers and cloud service providers via a single network controller and further connecting virtual networks in a branch site to virtual networks in the cloud service providers. A network controller can establish a network gateway in an SDCI provider, establish a cross-connectivity between the network gateway in the SDCI provider and one or more clouds, group one or more virtual networks in the one or more clouds and one or more virtual networks in a branch site into a tag, and establish a connection between the one or more virtual networks in the one or more clouds and the one or more virtual networks in the branch site using the tag.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Avinash Ashok Kumar Chiganmi, Venkatraman Venkatapathy, Giorgio Valentini, Madhuri Kolli, Shu-Fen Lee, Balaji Sundararajan

Patent number: 11757702Abstract: The present technology discloses methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for establishing a redundant path connection. An example method can include configuring a software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN) tunnel between an on-premises router and a plurality of SDWAN routers; configuring a virtual layer 2 connection between the plurality of SDWAN routers and handoff locations for a virtual cloud resource (VCR) associated with at least one VCR tag, wherein a software-defined cloud infrastructure (SDCI) underlay associated with at least one SDCI provider connects to a cloud service provider (CSP) at the handoff locations; configuring a VCR connection between at least one VCR associated with the VCR tag and the handoff locations for the at least one VCR; configuring a border gateway protocol (BGP) session between the plurality of SDWAN routers and the handoff locations; and validating the SDWAN tunnel, the virtual layer 2 connection, the VCR connection, and the BGP session.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Avinash Ashok Kumar Chiganmi, Venkatraman Venkatapathy, Giorgio Valentini, Madhuri Kolli, Karumbayiram Gunasekaran, Balaji Sundararajan

Patent number: 10728145Abstract: Techniques are described for creating multiple virtual network interfaces usable by a logically-related group of one or more containers (“pod”) for communicating on respective virtual networks of a network infrastructure. In some examples, a control flow for pod network interface configuration on a host includes obtaining, by a CNI instance, a list of multiple virtual network interfaces from an agent of a network controller that is executing on the host. The single CNI instance processes the list of multiple virtual network interfaces to create corresponding virtual network interfaces for the pod and, for each of the virtual network interfaces, to attach the virtual network interface to the pod and to the virtual router or bridge for the host. In this way, the single CNI enables packetized communications by containers of the pod over multiple networks using the multiple virtual network interfaces configured for the pod.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Vinay Chandrakant Rao, Madhukar Nayakbomman, Venkatraman Venkatapathy, Yuvaraja Mariappan, Dinesh Bakiaraj, Sachchidanand Vaidya
