Abstract: Disclosed is a router (and method) for virtualizing a control plane of the router without redundancy. The router can include a processor, a data plane, a control plane, and a computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to request, a cloud service to instantiate a virtual instance of the control plane, receive a confirmation of instantiation of the virtual instance, transfer to the virtual instance of the control plane, an active state of the control plane, perform offline services (e.g., configuration change, operating system update, or firmware upgrade, etc.) and in response to completion of the offline services, receive the active state.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an autonomous vehicle receives a location of a fiber optic cable repeater of a fiber optic cable. The autonomous vehicle navigates the vehicle to the location of the fiber optic cable repeater and interfaces an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) of the autonomous vehicle with an OTDR port of the fiber optic cable repeater. The autonomous vehicle performs OTDR measuring of the fiber optic cable via the OTDR port of the fiber optic cable repeater, and sends a result of the OTDR measuring of the fiber optic cable to a supervisory device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for orchestrating data center resources and user access to data. In some examples, a system can determine, at a first time, that a user will need, at a second time, access to data stored at a first location, from a second location. The system can identify a node which is capable of storing the data and accessible by a device from the second location. The system can also determine a first service parameter associated with a network connection between the device and the first location and a second service parameter associated with a network connection between the device and the node. When the second service parameter has a higher quality than the first service parameter, the system can migrate the data from the first location to the node so the device has access to the data from the second location through the node.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a controller instructs an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) docked to a landing perch to perform a pre-flight test operation of a pre-flight test routine. The controller receives sensor data associated with the pre-flight test operation from one or more force sensors of the landing perch, in response to the UAV performing the pre-flight test operation. The controller determines whether the sensor data associated with the pre-flight test operation is within an acceptable range. The controller causes the UAV to launch from the landing perch based in part on a determination that UAV has passed the pre-flight test routine.

Abstract: A trust relationship is established at a first network connected device between the first network connected device and a second network connected device. A communication session is established between the first network connected device and a third network connected device, wherein the third network connected device lacks a trust relationship with the second network connected device. A message is sent from the first network connected device to establish a communication session between the third network connected device and the second network connected device based on the trust relationship between the first network connected device and the second network connected device.

Abstract: Free space optics (FSO) is a wireless technology that utilizes optical frequencies. Previously available FSO transceivers are restricted to point-to-point links because of the high directivity of laser light used to transmit data. By contrast, various implementations disclosed herein include a multi-beam FSO apparatus that is less reliant on point-to-point links, and includes a lens assembly and a planar array of optical communication devices. The lens assembly includes at least one surface shaped to direct ingress light received substantially within a first angular range towards a focal plane, and to direct egress light away from the focal plane into the first angular range. The planar array includes a plurality of optical communication devices arranged in association with the focal plane of the lens assembly, wherein each of the plurality of optical communication devices characterizes at least one of a plurality of optical communication link endpoints.
