Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network receives in-situ operations administration and management (iOAM) data regarding a plurality of traffic flows in the network. The iOAM data comprises entropy values for the plurality of traffic flows. The device receives network topology information indicative of network paths available in the network. The device generates a machine learning-based entropy topology model for the network based on the received iOAM data and the received network topology information. The entropy topology model maps path selection predictions for the network paths with entropy values. The device uses the entropy topology model to cause a particular traffic flow to use a particular network path.

Abstract: A system and method predict risks of failure or performance issues in a network to predictively position traffic flows in the network. For a traffic flow through a network, first data accumulated in a header of packets for the traffic flow is obtained, which header is populated by network elements along a path of the traffic flow through the network. Second data is obtained about the network in general including other network elements not along the path of the traffic flow. Machine learning analysis is performed to derive rules that characterize failure or performance risk issues in the network. The rules and topology data describing a topology of the network are applied to a model to create a topological graphical representation indicating failure or performance issues in the network that affect the traffic flow. A path for the traffic flow is modified based on the topological graphical representation.

Abstract: Techniques for use in generating a dynamically-changing IoT device identity with robust blockchain validation are provided. When entering a communication network, an IoT device performs a procedure for registration. The procedure includes communicating, in a transaction, data associated with the IoT device to a network device (e.g. a fog router). The data includes, amongst other data items, an identity for addressing communications to and from the IoT device. A transaction number associated with the transaction is received based on a blockchain registration of the transaction. An updated identity of the IoT device is then derived based on the transaction number. In one example, the updated identity of the IoT device may be derived by combining a static address of the IoT device and the transaction number. The steps may be repeated by the device for each one of a plurality of network registrations.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and may include receiving a packet by a forwarder in an Information-Centric Networking (ICN) network; determining Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) information associated with the packet; and forwarding the packet based, at least in part, on the BIER information associated with the packet. The packet can be an interest packet or a data packet received by the forwarder in the ICN network.

Abstract: Methods, devices and program instructions are disclosed for performing bit indexed explicit replication (BIER) including fast reroute capability. One embodiment of a method includes receiving, from an egress node of a BIER network, an advertisement at a forwarding node, where the advertisement identifies a mapping of the egress node to a bit position of a packet bit string to be carried by a packet through the network. The embodiment further includes generating or updating a primary entry for the egress node in a bit indexed routing table (BIRT) for the forwarding node, and determining whether a backup entry for the egress node is to be included in the BIRT. In response to a determination that a backup entry is to be included, the embodiment further includes generating or updating the backup entry in the BIRT.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network monitors Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) traffic in the network for a plurality of media access control (MAC) addresses. The device generates a machine learning-based traffic model for the MAC addresses based on the monitored EVPN traffic. The device determines a timeout for a particular one of the MAC addresses based on traffic predicted by the machine learning-based traffic model for the particular MAC address. The device causes the particular MAC address to be timed out from one or more forwarding tables in the network based on the determined timeout.
