    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reporting diagnostics data by a first network device to a cloud-based Wide Area Network (WAN) assurance system, responsive to the first network device detecting a communication issue with the cloud-based WAN assurance system. For example, the first network device detects an issue with sending telemetry data to the cloud-based WAN assurance system via a first communication path. In response, the first network device determines a second network device that has connectivity to the WAN assurance system. The first network device sends diagnostics data to the second network device along a second communication path for forwarding to the cloud-based WAN assurance system. The cloud-based WAN assurance system receives the diagnostics data from the second network device. The cloud-based WAN assurance system controls the second network device to remediate the first network device based on the diagnostics data.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the identification of applications from communication sessions of network traffic between client devices and the generation of application-specific metrics for network traffic associated with the applications. In one example, a router obtains metrics for a plurality of packets. The router determines a session of a plurality of sessions associated with each packet. For each determined session, the router generates metrics for the session from the metrics of the packets associated with the session and determines an application of a plurality of applications associated with the session. For each determined application, the router generates metrics for the application from the metrics of the sessions associated with the application and transmits, to a device, the metrics for the application. In some examples, the router generates the metrics for each application on a per-client, per-next-hop, or per-traffic class basis.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for onboarding virtualized network devices to a cloud-based WAN assurance system. For example, a virtualized network device receives, from a network device conductor that manages a plurality of network devices, a registration code for registering with the cloud-based WAN assurance system. In response to receiving the registration code and instructions, the network device sends the registration code to the cloud-based WAN assurance system. The cloud-based WAN assurance system verifies the network device based on the registration code, and assigns a distinct (e.g., unique) device identifier to the network device, and sends the distinct device identifier and a secret key to the network device. The network device uses the secret key to create a new secure connection with the cloud-based WAN assurance system, for streaming telemetry data to the WAN assurance system. The cloud-based WAN assurance system analyzes the network device telemetry data to provide WAN assurance.

    Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a software-defined networking in a wide area network (SD-WAN) system having a first WAN link and a second WAN link for an SD-WAN service, WAN link characterization data for the first WAN link over a time period; determining, by the SD-WAN system based on processing the WAN link characterization data for the first WAN link using a machine learning model trained with historical WAN link characterization data for one or more WAN links, an indicator of a predicted performance metric of the first WAN link at a future time; and reassigning, by the SD-WAN system based on the indicator, an application from the first WAN link to the second WAN link.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining one or more outlier logical paths in a computer network. A cloud-based network management system stores path data received from a plurality of network devices operating as network gateways for an enterprise network, the path data collected by each network device of the plurality of network devices for one or more logical paths of a physical interface from the network device over a wide area network (WAN). The network management system compares the path data for the plurality of logical paths to determine one or more outlier logical paths out of the plurality of logical paths. The network management system, in response to determining the one or more outlier logical paths, output a notification indicative of the one or more outlier path data out of the plurality of logical paths.
