    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of forwarding packets on a network, such as a leaf-spine network having leaf devices and spine devices. The methods may include receiving a packet at an ingress leaf device, and determining based, at least in part, on a header of the packet whether the packet is to be transmitted to a spine device. The methods may further include ascertaining based, at least in part, on a header of the packet whether to perform encapsulation on the packet, encapsulating the packet according to a result of the ascertaining, and then transmitting the packet to a spine device according to a result of the determining. Also disclosed herein are network apparatuses which include a processor and a memory, at least one of the processor or the memory being configured to perform some or all of the foregoing described methods.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to achieve data security and integrity using the cryptographic machinery of IEEE MACSec for TCP or UDP packets, for example, VxLAN, iVxLAN, and VxLAN-GPE packet. In particular, the disclosed techniques generate InsSec packets from received VxLAN based packets, in which the generated InsSec packets include an integrity checksum that that does not cover the MAC address of the packet.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of forwarding data over an IP network. The methods may include receiving a packet from a source host connected to the IP network, identifying the IP address of a destination host designated in the packet, determining the location on the IP network where the destination host designated by the packet is connected, without reference to the MAC address specified in the packet, by using location-identification information stored on the IP network, and forwarding the packet to the location on the IP network where the destination host is connected without reference to the MAC address specified in the packet. Also disclosed herein are related network devices implementing such techniques and operations, as well as IP networks which include such network devices.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and related apparatuses for determining statistics descriptive of packets received at a particular location on a network out of a set of packets transmitted on the network, which include transmitting first and second groups of packets on the network, the packets in the first and second groups labeled with first and second labels, respectively (the packets in the second group not in the first group), incrementing first and second packet counters associated with the particular network location in response to packet(s) in the first and second groups, respectively, being received at the network location until all packets in the first and second groups have drained from the network, and using values read from the first and second packet counters to determine a statistic descriptive of the packets received at the particular network location out of those in the first and second groups transmitted on the network.

    CPC classification number: H04L47/2458 H04L47/283

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a next set of packets in a first flow may be identified. A counter may be incremented, where the counter indicates a first number of initial sets of packets in first flow that have been identified. The identified next set of packets may be prioritized such that the first number of initial sets of packets in the first flow are prioritized and a sequential order of all packets in the first flow is maintained. The identifying, incrementing, and prioritizing may be repeated until no further sets of packets in the first flow remain to be identified or the first number of initial sets of packets is equal to a first predefined number.
