Abstract:
In one example, a controller device includes one or more network interfaces communicatively coupled to one or more devices of a virtual network, and a processor configured to determine, for the virtual network, a set of two or more related processes executed by respective devices in the virtual network, receive via the network interfaces data for the set of two or more related processes, and aggregate the data for the set of two or more related processes to form aggregated data for the set of two or more related processes.

Abstract:
A network node that includes a memory to store a multicast forwarding table that contains entries that govern how multicast traffic is to be forwarded from a multicast virtual local area network (MVLAN) associated with the network node, to receiver VLANs associated with the network node, where each entry includes a multicast group, that is associated with a group of ports on the multicast VLAN via which the multicast traffic is received, and information associated with the receiver VLANs to which the received multicast traffic is to be sent. The network node also includes a processor to receive multicast traffic associated with a particular multicast group, via a particular port on the multicast VLAN; perform, using the multicast forwarding table, a look up operation, based on the particular multicast group, to determine to which of the receiver VLANs the multicast traffic is to be sent; and transmit the multicast traffic, associated with the particular multicast group, to user devices, via the receiver VLANs, based on a determination that the entry, associated with the particular multicast group, includes information associated with the receiver VLANs.
Abstract:
Graphical user interfaces are generated that, when displayed, provide a visual and interactive representation of one or more aspects associated with the execution of one or more applications on a computer network. The graphical user interfaces may in include graphical depictions representation policy objects, each policy object assigned one or more tags, each tag assigned to a category or a sub-category. The tags, when taken in combination, may identify an application, and one or more other characteristics associated with each of the policy objects. The graphical elements representing the policy objects may be displayed in the graphical user interfaces so that the policy objects assigned to tags in a category are positioned in an outer ring, and policy objects assigned to sub-category tags are positioned in a inner ring surrounded by the outer ring, with interconnection elements representing communications between policy objects extending within an interior area.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for implementing scalable policies across a plurality of categories that support application workloads. In one example, a policy controller assigns to the plurality of categories tags specifying one or more of a plurality of dimensions. The policy controller distributes a plurality of policies to policy agents for the plurality of categories. Each policy includes one or more policy rules, and each policy rule includes one or more tags specifying one or more of the plurality of dimensions. For each policy rule, the policy agents allow or deny a traffic flow between objects that belong to categories of the plurality of categories described by the one or more dimensions of a respective tag of the policy rule.
