    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system, apparatus and method is described, the system including a local controller by executed by a processor of an Internet of Things (IoT) device, the local controller being operative to perform, at least one of a push or a pull operation with at least one other IoT device, to request extended control functionality from a central controller, to receive extended control functionality from the central controller, to exercise said extended control functionality over the least one other IoT device, to receive an instruction from the central controller retracting control functionality and, in response to receiving said instruction, to retract said control functionality, and to receive a command to delete itself from the IoT device. Related systems, apparatus, and hardware are also described.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to version-aware service function chaining. One example method generally includes determining version information corresponding to one or more of a plurality of network functions to be performed for a packet for a service function chain (SFC) and encapsulating a service header in the packet for the SFC, the service header indicating the plurality of network functions to be performed for the packet and the version information corresponding to the one or more network functions. In certain aspects, the method also includes sending the packet to one or more service nodes for performing the plurality of network functions in accordance with the service header.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe association rules (e.g., affinity and anti-affinity rules) that a wireless device can use to optimize its performance in a Wi-Fi network. While BSS coloring is typically used to eliminate color collisions, the embodiments herein use BSS coloring to define what BSS colors should be on the same channel and which should not. For example, an affinity rule can indicate that a wireless device assigned a first BSS color (e.g., red) can share the same channel with wireless devices (or BSSs) assigned a second BSS color (e.g., green). In contrast, an anti-affinity rule can indicate that a wireless device in the red BSS color cannot share a channel with a wireless device assigned to a third BSS color (e.g., blue). The embodiments herein permit the wireless devices to be grouped with, or separated from, wireless devices having different BSS colors.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device is described, the device comprising a processor, a memory operative to store data used by the processor, a network interface operative to enable network communications with at least one other device, and a client executed by the processor, the client operative to utilize a first networking protocol to chain a request for information from the at least one other device and to send an information request packet via the network interface to the at least one other device, the information request packet comprising a request for information from the at least one other device, and a header of a second network protocol, in which a response to the request for information may be provided. Related devices, systems, and methods are also described.
