    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a supervisory networking device in an Ethernet ring obtains identity information for each of a plurality of other networking devices in the Ethernet ring. The supervisory networking device determines, based on the identity information, a relative position for each of the plurality of other networking devices in the Ethernet ring. The supervisory networking device generates, based on the relative position of each of the plurality of other networking devices in the Ethernet ring, a load balancing configuration for the Ethernet ring. The supervisory networking device implements the load balancing configuration in the Ethernet ring by blocking a first link of the supervisory networking device for a first subset of the plurality of other networking devices and a second link of the supervisory networking device for a second subset of the plurality of other networking devices.

    Abstract: Techniques for utilizing Software-Defined Field-Area Network (SD-FAN) controllers to receive a geographic location and transmission power of individual nodes and generate a geographic location topology of a Field-Area Network (FAN) to provide nodes with location-aware route paths for data transmission. One or more SD-FAN controller(s) may maintain a geographic location database to store the geographic location and transmission power of the individual nodes. Each node may utilize a Destination Address Object to advertise its geographic location and transmission power to the SD-FAN controller. The SD-FAN controller(s) may utilize the geographic location table to generate the geographic location topology of the FAN and determine a location-aware route path for optimized data transmission between nodes in the FAN.

    Abstract: Techniques for accelerated Time series analysis (TSA) in a network are described. Packets from a first network flow at a network element, such as a switch or a router, are trapped using a hardware based TSA engine at the network element. The packets are then reduced into TSA tuples including TSA data points and stored into memory. A software based TSA module performs one or more TSA actions on the stored tuples, where the TSA actions produce analysis results used to determine network performance for the network and network based applications.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first wireless bridge device configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from wireless network access points located along a pathway, and a second wireless bridge device configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from the wireless network access points. The first wireless bridge device and the second wireless bridge device are coupled to and communicate with each other. When the first wireless bridge device is wirelessly connected to a first access point and about to initiate a roaming mode to attempt to wirelessly connect to a second access point, the first wireless bridge device notifies the second wireless bridge device of the initiating of the roaming mode and determines whether the second wireless bridge device is in the roaming mode while the apparatus is moving along the pathway.
