Autonomous distributed forwarding plane traceability based anomaly detection in application traffic for hyper-scale SD-WAN

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for detecting and remediating anomalies in an SD-WAN that includes a controller, an enterprise datacenter, and multiple branch sites each having at least one edge node that includes a set of packet processing stages. At the controller, the method receives from a particular node of a particular branch site a flow notification indicating detection of an anomaly on the particular node. Based on the anomaly, the method dynamically generates trace monitoring rules that specify one or more flows to be traced and provides the trace monitoring rules to the particular node and at least one other node of another branch site. From the particular node and the at least one other node, the method receives trace monitoring results collected in response to the provided trace monitoring rules, and analyzes the results to identify any anomalies and dynamic actions to correct the anomalies.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELF-CORRECTING NETWORK EQUIPMENT

A system and method for mitigating anomalies in a network device. One or a combination of mitigation actions may be pre-programmed into a plurality of customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. The mitigation actions may be available as temporary or permanent work arounds as problems are detected that match known or discovered patterns of log events. Unsupervised machine learning techniques may be used to identify and correlate new patterns of log events with device anomalies or malfunctions. When a new pattern of log events is discovered and correlated to an anomaly or malfunction in a group of CPE devices, the discovered pattern may be written to the group of CPE devices with instructions to use particular ones of the mitigation actions. The CPE devices can then, in examples, monitor their own logs to detect the patterns and implement one or more of the mitigation actions.

EFFICIENT FAIL OVER TO BACKUP LINK
20230100301 · 2023-03-30 ·

A system and method for efficient fast failover of a primary link to a secondary link comprising monitoring an amount of user packets on said primary link and sending synthetic packets on said secondary link at a predetermined rate based on said amount of user packets wherein said predetermined rate is changed as a function of change in said amount of user packets.

HIGH RESILIENCY CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK BACKUP MECHANISM FOR MICRO FRONTEND WEB APPLICATIONS

A computing system receives, from a client device, a first request for access to a single page application associated with the computing system. A gateway of the computing system intercepts the first request before it reaches a shell service associated with the single page application. The gateway sends a second request for the single page application to the shell service. Based on the single page application request, the gateway determines that the shell service is experiencing a failure. Responsive to determining that the shell service is experiencing a failure, the gateway retrieves, from a content delivery network, a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with a time-lapse hypertext markup language (HTML) of the single page application. The gateway redirects the client device to the time-lapse HTML of the single page application using the URL.

TRANSMITTING NETWORK TRAFFIC TO A POOL OF REDUNDANT NETWORK APPLIANCES

Systems and methods are provided to enable packets of network traffic to be hashed to available network gateway. Each packet can include a route table with a pool of network gateways as a next-hop of the packet. A network device may intercept the packet and hash the packet to a network gateway of the pool of network gateways. The network gateway can correspond to a stateful network router and the stateful network router can transmit the packet to a network appliance. The network device can monitor and perform health-checks on the network gateways, the stateful network routers, and the network appliances. The network device can remove components that are no longer healthy or available and can add components that subsequently become healthy.

A method of managing communication services provided by a service provider, comprising obtaining a prediction of a portion of the quantity of the served devices that received substandard communication services from the service provider during a period of time, obtaining an acceptable deviation from the prediction of the portion of served devices, making a determination that a quantity of the served devices that received substandard communication services from the service provider during the period of time is outside of a range, and performing an action set to initiate remediation of the service provider. Specifically, the determination is based on the prediction of the portion of the quantity of served devices, and the acceptable deviation.
