    Abstract: A method in an example embodiment can include polling a first cable modem in a cable network and receiving a first response message from the first cable modem identifying a downstream frequency detected by the first cable modem. The method further includes determining the downstream frequency is split between at least two fiber nodes and determining a cable modem termination system (CMTS) service group topology, where the topology includes the at least two fiber nodes. In specific embodiments, determining that the downstream frequency is split is based on at least the first response message from the first cable modem and a second response message from a second cable modem. In more specific embodiments, the method includes constructing a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) topology map of the cable network based on at least the first and second response messages, where the HFC topology map indicates the CMTS service group topology.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, an electronic digital data packet router performs receiving a DHCP initiation message on a particular interface among a plurality of network interfaces; modifying the DHCP initiation message by adding a particular DHCP option that signals a DHCP server to provide router configuration data, resulting in a modified DHCP initiation message; relaying the modified DHCP initiation message to the DHCP server; receiving, from the DHCP server, a DHCPOFFER message that comprises the particular DHCP option containing configuration data; configuring the router using the configuration data; relaying the DHCPOFFER message without the particular DHCP option on the particular interface toward another data packet router.

    Abstract: Various systems and methods for performing bit indexed explicit replication (BIER). For example, one method involves receiving a packet at a node. The packet includes a bit string includes information identifying a plurality of destinations. The node selects an entry in a bit indexed forwarding table (BIFT). The BIFT includes both a primary path entry and a backup path entry. The node forwards the packet based on information in the entry.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for carrying reachability information in an echo request message and/or an echo reply message, which can be used to reach an initiator when the initiator's address is unknown. An echo request message includes an FEC (forwarding equivalence class) stack that identifies a label switched path (LSP). The echo request message is received by a label switching routing element (LSR) on the LSP, and the echo request is originated by an initiator. In response to a detection that the FEC stack changes at the LSR, a segment reachability (SR) sub-TLV (type-length-value) element can be generated, where the SR sub-TLV includes reachability information that can be used to reach the initiator, and the reachability information includes an incoming label allocated by the LSR to reach the initiator.

    Abstract: A method to protect data in a database. The method includes detecting an actual flow path for an API call between a source node and a destination node, determining whether the actual flow path for the API call deviates from an expected flow path for the API call, and in response to determining that the actual flow path for the API call deviates from the expected flow path by a predetermined threshold, denying access to data sought by the API call at the destination node.
