Supporting near real time service level agreements
A controller device manages a plurality of network devices. The controller device includes one or more processing units implemented in circuitry and configured to determine that one or more stateful intents used to manage the plurality of network devices and represented by a graph model are degraded due to assigned resources for the stateful intents having become degraded; in response to determining that the one or more stateful intents are degraded, determine resources for the stateful intents, the resources corresponding to vertices of the graph model; provision the stateful intents using the determined resources; determine whether the provisioning of the stateful intents was successful; compile at least one of the stateful intents that was successful into low-level configuration data for at least one network device of the plurality of network devices; and configure the at least one network device using the low-level configuration data.
Maintaining edit position for multiple document editor
Disclosed techniques provide a view and edit function to simultaneously view and edit multiple network device configurations. The techniques may include, parsing a plurality of different network device configuration documents (e.g., files representative of configuration settings). Parsing may then identify a set of slots and anchor points relative to locations of related parameter settings within each of the different network device configuration documents (e.g., a document per device). The slots may indicate a type of parameter setting and the anchor points indicating a relative location within a specific device configuration representative document. As a user makes a change to a parameter value, at least two files of the different network device configuration documents within a scope of an editing session may be identified to receive the change. Reverse mapping may be provided (e.g., by slots and anchor points) to properly implement this change for each different device.
Network configuration method of Internet of Things devices and related devices
A network configuration method for an IoT device is implemented by a terminal device. The method includes receiving attribute information broadcasted by N IoT devices, N being an integer greater than 1; determining a target IoT device from the N IoT devices based on at least one of: whether the attribute information broadcasted by the N IoT devices includes a selected identifier, or a first selection instruction input by a user; establishing a first communication connection with the target IoT device; sending a query request to the target IoT device to have the target IoT device return a network list corresponding to the target IoT device; determining a target network from the network list; and sending configuration information of the target network to the target IoT device so that the target IoT device performs network configuration based on the configuration information of the target network.
COMPUTE NODE DISCOVERY MECHANISM
A high performance (HPC) system is described. The system includes a plurality of compute nodes, each comprising a network interface having a first media access control (MAC) address and a management controller having a second MAC address, a plurality of switches, coupled to the plurality of compute nodes, each including one or more ports and a head node, communicatively coupled to the plurality of switches, comprising one or more processors to discover a first of the plurality of compute nodes, including facilitating installation of a boot file at the first compute node, initiate a boot operation at the first compute node using the boot file, harvesting switch port locations from the plurality of switches and detecting a location of the first compute node within the network based on determining one or more switch port locations associated with the first MAC address of the first compute node.
System and method for facilitating installation and configuration of network devices
A mobile application for facilitating configuration and installation of networking and extender devices in a local area network utilizes augmented reality to provide configuration guidance information and network information. For configuring the networking device, a camera of the mobile computing device captures an image depicting the networking device, which is displayed on a touchscreen display of the mobile computing device with graphical elements including icons and textual information overlaid on the image to indicate configuration guidance information. Similarly, for installing the extender device, the camera captures image data depicting areas of the premises where the device is being installed and graphical elements are overlaid on the image data indicating network information such as the position of a previously installed networking device as well as the signal strength of wireless signals from the networking device.
Software defined network for application development
One example method of operation may include identifying a script enabling access to a software management platform, creating one or more virtual devices in a software defined network based on virtual device requirements identified in the script, loading a software build identified in the script on a virtual database, and authorizing one or more devices of a first network to access the software defined network and the one or more virtual devices.
CONSISTENT HASHING FOR NETWORK TRAFFIC DISPATCHING
A method is provided that uses a consistent hashing technique to dispatch incoming packets in a stable system prior to adding of a node. The method uses a hash table and assigns hash buckets in the table to each network node. A set of fields in each incoming packet is hashed and is used to identify the corresponding hash bucket. The packets are then dispatched to the network nodes based on the nodes' hash buckets. During an observation period, the method identifies the ongoing sessions by creating a bit vector table that is used to identify the old and new sessions during a re-dispatching period. The method uses the consistent hashing method and the probabilistic method dispatch the incoming packets such that each packet that belongs to an old session is dispatched to the same old node that has been processing the other packets of the session.
MANAGEMENT OF UPDATE QUEUES FOR NETWORK CONTROLLER
Some embodiments provide a method for a network controller that manages multiple managed forwarding elements (MFEs) that implement multiple logical networks. The method stores (i) a first data structure including an entry for each logical entity in a desired state of the multiple logical networks and (ii) a second data structure including an entry for each logical entity referred to by an update for at least one MFE. Upon receiving updates specifying modifications to the logical entities, the method adds separate updates to separate queues for the MFEs that require the update. The separate updates reference the logical entity entries in the second data structure. When the second data structure reaches a threshold size in comparison to the first data structure, the method compacts the updates in at least one of the queues so that each queue has no more than one update referencing a particular logical entity entry.
