Abstract: Techniques for using an end-to-end policy controller to utilize an inventory of enforcement points to generate a chain of enforcement points having capabilities to enforcement individual operations of an intent-based security policy associated with an entity accessing a resource. A network controller may intelligently split an intent-based security policy and send portions thereof to enforcement points along a path configured for an entity to access a resource. For example, a portion of a security policy corresponding to an operation may be mapped to and implemented by an enforcement point having a capability to perform the operation. Once each operation of a security policy has been mapped to an enforcement point, a chain of enforcement points may be generated.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for tracing multicast paths in hybrid networks. A method for tracing multicast paths in hybrid networks includes intercepting, by an edge device, a first multicast trace request transmitted by a first network device that a source device is connected to for tracing a route between the source device to a receiver device, wherein the first network device receives a message from a multicast tracing client to trace a multicast path from the receiver device to the source device; generating a second multicast trace request based on the format for the core network using information from the first multicast trace request; and transmitting the second multicast trace request from an edge network device to the receiver device using the core network, the second multicast trace request including network information related to network performance between the first network device and the edge network device

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, an asset inventory service executed by one or more devices receives telemetry data collected passively by a sensor application regarding a node in a network. The asset inventory service requests, after receiving the telemetry data, that the sensor application perform active discovery of nodes in the network. The asset inventory service receives active discovery data collected by the sensor application via active discovery of nodes in the network. The asset inventory service generates, based on the telemetry data and the active discovery data, an identity profile for the node.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device receives, from a requestor, a request for a set of ground truth examples of a particular type to be used to train a machine learning model. The request includes context data regarding a location to be analyzed by the machine learning model. The device identifies, based on the request, the set of ground truth examples using a metamodel comprising a semantic reasoner and a sub-symbolic layer. The device associates labels with the set of ground truth examples. The device provides, to the requestor, the set of ground truth examples and their labels.

Abstract: Provided herein are techniques to facilitate controlling audibility of voice commands spoken in a video conference based on eye gaze tracking. A method may include tracking an eye gaze of the participant in relation to voice-enabled user interface objects provided by the video headset and determining that the participant is not an active speaker for the video conference and has an eye gaze towards a particular voice enabled user interface object. Upon the participant speaking a particular voice command associated with the particular voice-enabled user interface object while the participant is not the active speaker for the video conference and has the eye gaze towards the particular voice-enabled user interface object, the method may include inhibiting the particular voice command that is spoken by the participant from being heard by other participants of the video conference.

Abstract: A network function virtualization (NFV) compute element installs an image supporting a virtualized network function (VNF) on the element. The image includes instructions/data to initiate a TCP connection between the element and a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller upon reboot of the element. Upon rebooting, the element establishes, as client in accordance with the instructions/data, a TCP connection with the controller. The element then accepts, as a cryptographic network protocol server, a connection via the TCP connection from the controller as a client in accordance with the instructions. Next, the element accepts, as a network management protocol server, a connection via the cryptographic network protocol connection from the controller as network management protocol client. The element receives, from the controller over the network management protocol connection, commands regarding the status of the rebooted element, and then transmits, to the controller over the network management protocol connection, responses to the commands.

Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for calculating a network sustainability index (NSI) and providing specific remediation/action plans to achieve better sustainability in network infrastructures. The NSI is calculated based on one or more of three main parameters: a reporting parameter, an optimization parameter, and/or a device energy efficiency rating. The reporting parameter may evaluate the capability of each device to report its power consumption, considering factors such as granularity, component-level reporting, and reporting frequency. The optimization parameter may assess whether a device participates in network energy optimization. The device energy efficiency rating may evaluate the energy efficiency of each device. A recommendation portal offers actionable insights and remediation plans based on the calculated NSI. The devices and methods allow administrators to list eligible devices for energy optimization, ensuring a comprehensive approach to network sustainability and facilitating targeted measures for improved energy efficiency.
