    Abstract: A network appliance can be configured for storing a plurality of flow table entries in a flow table of a match-action pipeline, wherein the match-action pipeline is implemented via a packet processing circuit configured to process a plurality of network traffic flows associated with the plurality of flow table entries. An extended packet processing pipeline of the network appliance can read a flow table entry of the flow table. The extended packet processing pipeline can be implemented via a pipeline circuit. The extended packet processing pipeline can determine that a network traffic flow associated with the flow table entry is expired or terminated. The network appliance can delete the flow table entry from the flow table by processing a traffic flow deletion operation after determining that the network traffic flow is expired or terminated.

  • Patent number: 11799859
    Abstract: Automated authorization policy creation for interrelated services is disclosed. A plurality of request records is obtained, each request record corresponding to a request sent from a sending service of a plurality of services to a receiving service of the plurality of services, and each request record identifying the sending service and the receiving service, wherein the plurality of services comprises a plurality of interrelated services. A first subset of the request records is determined wherein a service of the plurality of services sent a request to a first service. A first subset of services is determined based on the first subset of request records. The generation of an authorization policy is caused that permits requests to the first service from only those services in the first subset of services.

  • Patent number: 11799800
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for handling failure at one of several peer centralized components of a logical router. At a first one of the peer centralized components of the logical router, the method detects that a second one of the peer centralized components has failed. In response to the detection, the method automatically identifies a network layer address of the failed second peer. The method assumes responsibility for data traffic to the failed peer by broadcasting a message on a logical switch that connects all of the peer centralized components and a distributed component of the logical router. The message instructs recipients to associate the identified network layer address with a data link layer address of the first peer centralized component.

  • Patent number: 11799968
    Abstract: A communications method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: A first access network device sends a first message to a core network device, where the first message is used to indicate to suspend one or both of a first PDU session and a second PDU session. The first PDU session and the second PDU session are PDU sessions that are established as requested by a same terminal, and are used to transmit a duplicated data packet. According to the method, when a condition for implementing reliable transmission is not met, the core network device can be indicated to suspend the PDU session. In this way, a PDU session does not need to be re-established, and signaling overheads for establishing the PDU session are saved.

  • Patent number: 11800498
    Abstract: A communication management resource (such as disposed at a network management node or other location) allocates bandwidth in a physical communication link to convey communication data associated with first customer premises equipment. In one implementation, the allocated bandwidth in the physical communication link is partitioned in accordance with wireless bandwidth supported by the first customer premises equipment. For example, in one embodiment, the allocated bandwidth of the physical communication link is mapped to convey corresponding data communicated over wireless bandwidth used by the first customer premises equipment. The communication management resource establishes a control channel over the physical communication link between the network management node and the first customer premises equipment. Via the control channel, the communication management resource then transmits a command over the control channel from the network management node to the first customer premises equipment.

  • Patent number: 11792874
    Abstract: The present application is at least directed to an apparatus on a network including a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon for re-establishing a remote radio control (RRC) connection with a base station. The apparatus also includes a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, capable of executing an instruction of determining a radio link failure has occurred between a first bandwidth part (BWP) of the apparatus tuned to a base station. The processor also executes the instruction of initiating a random access (RA) procedure. The processor also executes the instruction of determining whether a configured contention-based physical random access channel (PRACH) resource overlaps with the first BWP. The process further executes the instruction of transmitting a RA preamble including the configured contention-based PRACH resource to the base station. The processor even further executes the instruction of receiving a RA response from the base station.
