    Abstract: Power supply for a networking device may be provided. The networking device may comprise a first plurality of switch bars each comprising a first switch type arranged parallel to one another and a second plurality of switch bars each comprising a second switch type arranged parallel to one another. The first plurality of switch bars and the second plurality of switch bars may be arranged orthogonally. A first plurality of power supplies may be fed by a first source. A second plurality of power supplies may be fed by a second source. Respective ones of a first portion of the first plurality of power supplies feed first respective pairs of the first plurality of switch bars and respective ones of a first portion of the second plurality of power supplies feed second respective pairs of the first plurality of switch bars. The first respective pairs of the first plurality of switch bars may be different from the second respective pairs of the first plurality of switch bars.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network intercepts a Domain Name System (DNS) query sent by a node in the network to a DNS service. The device inserts metadata information about the node into the DNS query before sending the DNS query on to the DNS service. The device extracts policy information regarding the node from a DNS response sent from the DNS service back to the node in response to the DNS query. The device implements a network policy for the node within the network based on the policy information extracted from the DNS response.

    Abstract: A method is performed by a first fog node of a plurality of fog nodes. In some implementations, the first fog node includes a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, the method includes maintaining a distributed ledger in coordination with the remaining fog nodes of the plurality of fog nodes. In some implementations, the distributed ledger stores configuration information associated with one or more devices. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining a request for configuration information from a device that breaches a resource threshold associated with the distributed ledger. In some implementations, the method includes transmitting, to the device, the configuration information associated with the device in order to allow the device to be configured in accordance with the configuration information while the device breaches the resource threshold associated with the distributed ledger.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a server determines a particular computer network outside of a lab environment to recreate, and also determines, for the particular computer network, hardware components and their interconnectivity, as well as installed software components and their configuration. The server then controls interconnection of lab hardware components within the lab environment according to the interconnectivity of the hardware components of the particular computer network. The server also installs and configures lab software components on the lab hardware components according to the configuration of the particular computer network. Accordingly, the server operates the installed lab software components on the interconnected lab hardware components within the lab environment to recreate operation of the particular computer network within the lab environment, and provides information about the recreated operation of the particular computer network.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobile robot energizes its state-variable anchor into a released state while contacting a payload, and then de-energizes it to put it into an anchored state, attaching it to the payload. The mobile robot may then move the payload to a mounting location while the state-variable anchor is de-energized and attached to the payload. As such, the mobile robot may then energize a state-variable anchor of the payload to put it into a released state while at and contacting the mounting location, and then de-energizes it to put it into an anchored state to attach the payload to the mounting location. To then detach the state-variable anchor of the mobile robot and the mobile robot from the payload after the payload is attached to the mounting location, the mobile robot may then energize the state-variable anchor of the mobile robot to put it into a released state.
