  • Patent number: 12113770
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods of operating a leaf node device, such as a switch device, connected to a switch fabric of a network. The leaf node device receives, from another leaf node device via the switch fabric, an indication of a secure route to a host device. In response to receiving the indication of the secure route, the leaf node device creates or updates a routing entry for the host device in a routing information base of the leaf node device and creates or updates an entry for the host device in a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snoop database of the leaf node device. The leaf node may thereby communicate with the host device that is attached to the leaf node device as a result of moving from the other leaf node device.

  • Patent number: 12114250
    Abstract: Importing of a UE address into a VRF of perimeter equipment is facilitate by receiving a VPN update from the perimeter equipment including a route target of the perimeter equipment and a gNodeB address. In addition, session information is obtained by intercepting traffic between the UE address and a UPF. The session information including the UE address and address of a gNodeB to which the UE is connected. By matching the gNodeB addresses from the VPN update and the session information, the route target of the perimeter equipment to which the UE is connected may be determined. The UE address may then be imported exclusively into the VRF of the perimeter equipment.

  • Patent number: 12107911
    Abstract: A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid).

  • Patent number: 12088556
    Abstract: Security rule feedback systems and methods include capturing network traffic data, the network traffic data including a plurality of traffic records. The traffic records are grouped into first and second traffic records having corresponding first and second source address identifiers, first and second source port identifiers, first and second destination address identifiers, and first and second destination port identifiers. Network interfaces associated with the first and second records are identified based on source address identifiers. Security rule populations are associated to the network interfaces. A determination is made as to a direction of network traffic, based on the security rule populations. Thereby, dispensable security rules may be identified.

  • Patent number: 12081451
    Abstract: With the advent of virtualization technologies, networks and routing for those networks can now be simulated using commodity hardware. For example, virtualization technologies can be adapted to allow a single physical computing machine to be shared among multiple virtual networks by providing one or more virtual machines simulated in software by the single physical computing machine, with each virtual machine acting as a distinct logical computing system. In addition, as routing can be accomplished through software, additional network setup flexibility can be provided to the virtual network in comparison with hardware-based routing. In some implementations, virtual network setup can be abstracted through the use of resource placement templates, allowing users to create virtual networks compliant with a customer's networking policies without necessarily having knowledge of what those policies are.
