Patent number: 11805055Abstract: In some embodiments, a method inserts, by a first computing device, a first value for a capability in a first message that is used in a process to automatically exchange capability values with a second computing device. The first value for the capability indicates the first computing device requires a default route to reach the second computing device as a next hop for sending a packet to a destination. The first computing device sends the first message to the second computing device; and receives a second value for the capability in a second message from the second computing device. The second value indicating the second computing device will send the default route to reach the second computing device. When the default route is received from the second computing device, the first computing device stores the default route from the second computing device in a route table.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Santosh Pallagatti Kotrabasappa, Sami Boutros, Jerome Catrouillet, George Mathew

Patent number: 11799756Abstract: A route learning method includes a network device obtaining Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing information from a BGP peer. When a target region to which the BGP peer belongs is the same as a target region to which a BGP route belongs, the network device learns the BGP routing information. A packet forwarding method includes a network device receiving a packet through a network interface. When a target region to which the network interface belongs is the same as a target region to which the packet belongs, the network device forwards the packet.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Haibo Wang, Shunwan Zhuang, Gang Yan

Patent number: 11799721Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for updating network configuration documentation. In an example, a user can upload network configuration documentation with updates to a network to a server. The server can create an update topology corresponding to the documentation by identifying symbols that represent network components. The server can identify changes by comparing the update topology to a configuration data of an existing network. For example, the address of a gateway or the connections to the gateway can change. The server can cause the changes to be presented to a user, such as by highlighting the changes in a diagram. The user can confirm the changes, such as with a conversational workflow, and the server can save the changes to a database. The system can also send commands to the applicable network components to effectuate the confirmed changes.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Shrinivas Sharad Parashar, Sarat Chandra Annadata, Pavan Vaidyula

Patent number: 11799772Abstract: Techniques are described for supporting multiple virtual networks over an underlay network. The techniques may provide support for network slicing and enhanced virtual private networks (VPNs) over an underlay network. In general, the techniques include allocating a subset of resources (e.g., nodes and/or links) of the underlay network to a particular virtual network, and advertising the subset of resources to provider edge (PE) routers that are participating in the virtual network. A network controller device may advertise the subset of resources for the virtual network to the respective PE routers using BGP-LS (Border Gateway Protocol-Link State). Based on the advertisements, each of the PE routers generates a restricted view of the full underlay network topology for the virtual network and, thus, only uses the subset of resources in the restricted view to generate routing and forwarding tables for the virtual network.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventor: John E.
