    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus of a LISP environment includes one or more processors and computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors. The computer-readable non-transitory storage media include instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including receiving an attestation token from a first component of the LISP environment. The operations also include encoding the attestation token using a LISP message format. The operations further include distributing the encoded attestation token with a LISP signaling message to a third component of the LISP environment.

    Abstract: Techniques are described to provide a peephole optimization for processing traffic for lightweight protocols at lower layers by executing them inside a virtual switch rather than using the network stack of a host node. In one example, a method includes determining by forwarding logic of a virtual switch that a received packet is associated with a query for one of domain information or address information. Based on such a determination, the virtual switch determines whether the query is contained within a single Ethernet frame and is answerable. Based on a positive determination for both, the virtual switch determines whether a response to the query can be transmitted in a single packet within a single Ethernet frame. Based on a positive determination of a single packet response, a response packet for the query is formed and injected into the forwarding logic for the virtual switch for transmitting to a destination.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, new Segment Routing capabilities are used in the steering of packets through Segment Routing nodes in a network. A Segment List includes a set of one or more Segment List (SL) Groups, each of which identifies one or more Segments contiguously or non-contiguously stored in the Segment List (or stored across multiple Segment Lists) of a Segment Routing packet. Each SL Group typically includes one Segment that is encoded as a Segment Identifier, and may include Segments that are Extended Values. The steering order of SL Groups is not required to be the same order as they are listed in the Segment List, as the value of Segments Left may be increased, remain the same, or decreased (possibly to skip a next SL Group) and possibly based on the result of an evaluation of a conditional expression.
