    Abstract: A computing system includes a computing device configured to execute a plurality of virtual machines, each virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines configured to provide control plane functionality for at least a different respective subset of forwarding units of a network device, the computing device distinct from the network devices. The computing system also includes a policy agent configured to execute on the computing device. The agent is configured to determine that a particular virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines provides control plane functionality for one or more forwarding units of the network device; determine control plane usage metrics for resources of the particular virtual machine; and output, to a policy controller, data associated with the control plane usage metrics and data associating the particular virtual machine with the one or more forwarding units for which the particular virtual machine provides control plane functionality.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include collecting flow data associated with communications between network devices, and determining, based on the flow data, one or more virtual networks over which the communications are taking place. In one example, this disclosure describes a system configured to perform operations comprising: storing virtual network configuration information associated with a first virtual network and a second virtual network established within a network; collecting underlay flow data associated with communications between a first server and a second server, wherein each of the first server and the second server are implemented as bare metal servers; determining, based on the underlay flow data and the stored virtual network configuration information, that the first server and the second server have communicated over the first virtual network; and generating a user interface.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for network monitoring and fault localization. For example, a controller comprises one or more processors operably coupled to a memory configured to: receive a first one or more Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics measured by a first probe traversing a first path comprising one or more links; receive a second one or more QoE metrics measured by a second probe traversing a second path comprising one or more links; determine, from the first one or more QoE metrics, that the first path has an anomaly; determine, from the second one or more QoE metrics, that the second path has an anomaly; and determine, in response to determining the first path and the second path has an anomaly, based on the type of metrics and the type of links, that an intersection between the first path and the second path is a root cause of the anomaly.

    Abstract: The present invention addresses the need for improved virtualized cloud infrastructure policy implementation and management in order allow real-time monitoring and optimization of virtualized resources. It provides systems and methods for real-time cloud infrastructure policy implementation and management that include a plurality of host devices, a plurality of real-time probe agents associated with the plurality of host devices operating on each of the plurality of host devices, and a policy engine communicatively coupled to the plurality of host devices and containing a policy associated with an application program deployed in at least one of the plurality of host devices. The policy engine is programmed to monitor in real time changes in deployment of the application program across the plurality of host devices and to push the policy to the real-time probe agent operating on each host device on which the application program is deployed.

    Abstract: A computing system stores rule data for an application. The rule data for the application specifies characteristics of flows that occur within a network and that are associated with the application. The computing system may collect a stream of flow datagrams from the network. Additionally, the computing system may identify, based on the rule data for the application, flow datagrams in the stream of flow datagrams that are associated with the application. The computing system may generate a stream of application-enriched flow datagrams based on the identified flow datagrams. The application-enriched flow datagrams include data indicating the application. Furthermore, the computing system may process a query for results based on the application-enriched flow datagrams.
