Abstract:
In one embodiment, a first device (e.g., a host device or power distribution unit) stores identification information of the first device, and determines, over a power connection, when the first device is in powered connectivity with a second device (e.g., a power distribution unit or host device, respectively). The first device may then communicate, with the second device over the power connection, identification information of at least one of either the first or second device, where the communicated identification information is accessible to a third device (e.g., a server) via a data network due to the communicating over the power connection. In another embodiment, a server may determine, based on the identification information, a physical location of a power distribution unit, and may deduce, based on the physical location of the power distribution unit, that a host device is physically located at the physical location of the power distribution unit.

Abstract:
Techniques and architecture are described for inducing precise delays in a network device (network node) that has the capability to act on packets/traffic flows based on policy configurations of the network device and delays experienced by traffic in the network device. This capability may be used for testing and verification of the network device to verify that the network device meets the configured policies. Additionally, this capability may be utilized in an operational network to selectively induce delays and measure its impact for purposes such as, for example, planning, stress testing, resiliency, etc.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus receives an advertisement from each of one or more Home Agents, the advertisement including a first set of information associated with a corresponding one of the Home Agents, each advertisement being in a first protocol. The apparatus obtains the first set of information associated with a corresponding one of the Home Agents from each advertisement. The apparatus composes a router advertisement including a second set of information associated with at least one of the Home Agents, the router advertisement being in a second protocol. The apparatus then sends the router advertisement.
