A method includes receiving, at a home controller of a home domain and from a first device in the home domain, a first message concerning a user device that is anchored to the home domain and that has roamed from the home domain to a visitor domain. The method also includes, in response to determining that the first device is a router, opening a tunnel between the home controller and a visitor controller of the visitor domain and communicating the first message to the user device through the tunnel. The method further includes receiving, at the home controller and from a second device in the home domain, a second message concerning the user device and in response to determining that the second device is not a router, communicating, to the second device, a proxy response to the second message.

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device that efficiently configures a network for controlling another electronic device, and the electronic device includes a communication interface; an input interface configured to receive a control command for another electronic device; and a controller configured to control another electronic device in a different manner according to whether connected to the same network as another electronic device.

A method for providing bidirectional communication between segments of a home network includes receiving a first communication signal at a first interface of an inter-domain bridge during a first time interval; receiving a second communication signal at a second interface of the inter-domain bridge during the first time interval; generating a superimposed signal of the first communication signal and the second communication signal; and transmitting the superimposed signal through the first interface and the second interface during a second time interval. The second time interval occurs after the first time interval.

System, method, and computer program product to perform an operation, comprising establishing a connection between a primary intermediate branch director (IBD) in a first branch of an enterprise network and a first proxy IBD in a second branch of the enterprise network, receiving, at the primary IBD, network topology information for each of a plurality of intermediate branch clients (IBCs) in the second branch of the enterprise network, and issuing, by the primary IBD to the first proxy IBD, a command to remotely configure at least one IBC of the plurality of IBCs in the second branch of the enterprise network.

An example network orchestrator includes processing circuitry and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the network orchestrator to determine that a branch site of a WAN includes multiple branch gateways. The network orchestrator further determines that devices of a core site of the WAN and devices of the branch site are members of an extended VLAN. The network orchestrator further transmits a first command to a first branch gateway and a first headend gateway to establish a WAN uplink tunnel to forward data traffic of the extended VLAN. The network orchestrator further transmits a second command to a set of branch gateways of the branch gateway cluster to establish intracluster tunnels with the first branch gateway.

Technologies for hairpinning network traffic include a compute device with a network interface controller (NIC) configured to receive, by a virtual Ethernet port aggregator (VEPA) agent of a media access control (MAC) of the NIC, a network packet from a virtual machine (VM). The VEPA agent is configured to transmit the received network packet to an agent deployed on an accelerator device of the NIC and the agent is configured to forward the received network packet to a virtual Ethernet bridge (VEB) hairpin agent of the accelerator device. The VEB hairpin agent is configured to determine whether a target destination of the network packet corresponds to another VM, return the received network packet to the agent deployed the accelerator device. The agent is further configured to forward the received network packet to the VEPA agent, which is further configured to transmit the received network packet to the other VM.

A set-top box (STB) receives a router reboot or reset activation code generated by an Operations Support System (OSS) that manages a first network. The STB activates a router reboot or reset function based on the received activation code, and identifies, upon activation of the router reboot or reset function, a model of a router connected to the STB. The STB generates a router reboot or reset command based on the identified model of the router and sends the generated router reboot or reset command to the router to cause the router to perform a reboot or reset process.
