    Abstract: In one embodiment, network operations are improved by performing updating operations data in an operations data field associated with the header of a particular protocol during the processing of a different protocol. A particular multiple-protocol (MP) packet is received by a particular network node in a network. The particular MP packet includes multiple protocol headers, including a first protocol header associated with a first protocol and a second protocol header associated with a second protocol. Further, the second protocol header associated with a second operations data field. During protocol processing of the first protocol on the particular MP packet, the second operations data field updated with particular operations data. The particular MP packet is sent from the particular network node, with said sent particular MP packet including said updated second operations data field with particular operations data.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for authenticating access control messages include receiving, at a first node, access control messages from a second node. The first node and the second node including network devices and the access control messages can be based on RADIUS or TACACS+ protocols among others. The first node can obtain attestation information from one or more fields of the access control messages determine whether the second node is authentic and trustworthy based on the attestation information. The first node can also determine reliability or freshness of the access control messages based on the attestation information. The first node can be a server and the second node can be a client, or the first node can be a client and the second node can be a server. The attestation information can include Proof of Integrity based on a hardware fingerprint, device identifier, or Canary Stamp.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service configured to execute on trusted participant devices authenticates network service devices each having identifying information and one or more offered services, and creates an entry into a secure digital ledger for each authenticated network service device and associated offered services, each entry based on the identifying information and the one or more offered services for a corresponding network service device. Upon receiving an advertisement for an advertised service from an advertising device attached to a given trusted participant device, the service then requests and may receive an authentic ledger entry from the secure digital ledger for the advertised service. In response to either validating or failing to validate authenticity of the advertised service based on the authentic ledger entry, registration at the given trusted participant device of the advertised service for the received advertisement from the advertising device may either be permitted or denied, respectively.

    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for monitoring packets in a container networking environment. A method includes receiving a packet at a network node, the packet having been routed to the network node in accordance with instructions from a container orchestration system, inserting an additional field in the packet that is configured to record a path of the packet within a first POD of the host device that includes at least one container, forwarding the packet to the first POD of the host device in accordance with the instructions from the container orchestration system, updating the additional field with container networking path information as the packet transits the first POD and the at least one container therein, storing the container path information in an analytics node of the network node, removing the additional field from the packet, and transmitting the packet from the network node to the network.

    Abstract: A reactive mechanism for in-situ operation, administration, and maintenance (IOAM) traffic is provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes assigning a plurality of discriminator identifiers associated with a plurality of discriminators. Each discriminator is mapped to a specified action. The method includes receiving a data packet that includes an IOAM header comprising telemetry data associated with the data packet and a bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) field that includes a specified discriminator identifier. The method further includes determining whether the specified discriminator identifier matches one of the plurality of discriminator identifiers, and, upon determining that the specified discriminator identifier matches a first discriminator identifier of the plurality of discriminator identifiers, the method includes initiating a seamless bidirectional forwarding detection (S-BFD) reflector session to transmit a response packet according to a first action mapped to a first discriminator associated with the first discriminator identifier.

    Abstract: A system and methods are provided for verifying proof of transit of network traffic through a plurality of network nodes in a network. Information is obtained about a packet at a network node in a network. The information may include in-band metadata of the packet. Verification information is read from in-band metadata of the packet. Updated verification information is generated from the verification information read from the packet and based on configuration information associated with the network node. The updated verification information is written back to the in-band metadata in the packet. The packet is forwarded from the network node in the network.
